Further to the Record Store Day thread, and as a search reveals this subject hasn't been done for 10 years - what was the first record you ever bought? No cheating for the sake of credibility, all you Bay City Roller fans .

This was mine....... (In my defence, I WAS 7 years old!).

That was the first record I ever owned - tho' I didn't buy it...it was a pressie. First record I bought was Tubular Bells.

Technically it was a present rather than bought myself, but was what I wanted, so almost the same thing. In the late '60s as a little boy I was fascinated by the Apollo landings and wanted the signature tune, which I understood to be The Planets, especially given this album cover.

Still a favourite of mine.

I think i was either 4 or 5 at the time and bought it from the 10p pile at Boots in Airdrie

Too much credibility going on here! There must be someone else who bought something naff as their first raecord. Don't be shy!

I won a record token when I was about 5, my Mum "helped" me choose "A Scottish Soldier" by Andy Stewart. Naff enough?
