What was the first (music) record.....

[Johnny Thin]

Bruch G Minor violin concerto and Scottish Fantasy with Maurice Hasson, James Loughran and the Halle (I think) - 'Classics for Pleasure'

When I got home and told my parents they said "Why did you buy that, we've got it already several times over!"

 

[Slowgrind]

It`s now or never by Elvis. I wanted a Cliff Richard record but they had sold out!

 

[purpleR]

Shakin' Stevens - Green Door, probably not my coolest purchase ever...

 

[laurence]

i remember the first album, it was 10cc's debut.

i can't remember my first single though, i used to 'borrow' them off my sister. she refused to stump for the 10cc album so i saved up.

[Smokin Joe]

Exile on Main Street, Rolling Stones.

 

[ChrisW]

'Time for Action' - Secret Affair

Wow, bit obscure, did you ever go and see them at that really rough "mod" pub in Canning Town? Can't remember the name..

 

[Tetedelacourse]

I saved up Rice Krispies tokens and got Shaky's This Old House, but the first I bought in a shop was ages after: the Brits 1988. Most played song on that was Orinoco Flo.

First single I bought was A Tribe Called Quest: Can I Kick It?

This, the first time round:

Tighten Up Vol2. I thought the cover was racy!

So long ago, `tis hard to be sure, but it was either "Wimoweh" by the Karl Denver Trio, or "Washington Square" by Kenny ball and his jazzmen.

My first LP was probably Shostakovitch Symphony No 5.

 

[SamNichols]

This probably says a lot about me, but it was the album 'Up' by Right Said Fred. On tape. Second was Queen's Greatest Hits. No wonder I'm a little effeminate.

 

[Fnaar]

My first album was Marvin gaye's "What's Giong On?"
Actually no it wasn't, it was one of those Top of The Pops compilations, which didn't have the original artistes, and usually had a pouting woman in a crochet waistcoat and hotpants, straddling a farm gate or sitting on a rocking horse.

 

[Andy in Sig]

I think mine was Ball Park Incident by Wizzard.
