Can't remember for certain but it was either Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden or Hole in my Shoe by Neil from the Young Ones.
Gangsters by The Specials with The Selecter on the B side. Happened to be the 1st record released on 2 Tone.

Good taste sir. Unfortunately I must be far older than yow and mine first album/lp was Madonna's 1st ablum.
Kings of the wild frontier - Adam and The Ants. Top tune, still remember the drumbeat now!
"Straight Lines" by New Musik. 1979 I think. Vinyl naturally.
Can't remember my first single, but my first CD....well, it's a classic!

Oh... dear...
Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode...
Bangles - Eternal Flame
My first ever single purchase - I was about 12 I think
Herbie Hancocks...Rocket 12" no less
The first one brought for me...
And the first one I handed over cash for...
Madness - Baggy Trousers. Still got it somewhere.
The Animals - House of the Rising Sun
I remember it was on RAK records.
It's what started me off wanting to play guitar.
I desperately wanted to be able to play it. I tracked down some geezer who could, and wouldn't leave him alone until he showed me. 35 yrs later I'm still playing!
Cycling and guitaring. Best two things ever!
Tears of a clown - the Beat - but before that I was more into albums - prog rock and all that
in the city. the jam.
Nutbush city limits

- International Rescue [/url]
Awful video, but the lead singer had nice legs. It was the 80s, I was starting to become dimly aware of these things called 'girls' and the pics of the lass dressed as Barbarella that came with the vinyl single sold me on it...
Up Town Girl by Billy Joel. Sorry.
Apeman by The Kinks
Don't remember my first single on tape or CD, but I remember my first single on Vinyl...
HELL YEAH!
As good today as it ever was, if not better... 8)
First album I bought though was slightly more embarrasing... Hey, I started buying albums at 11, only started buying singles at 18!

I once got really pissed with them in a flat in Birmingham after they supported a friends band (the 'C-Men' har har har), thought I was going to get off with one of them, but didn't 🙁
Bon jovi - Bad medicine 😳
Yay - snap Bruneep! Ah, I well remember Rat Trap being played at the Pitchford Village Hall YFC disco Christmas 1978....
Having said that was my first single - that ignores the Yingtong Song by the Goons 😳 , and Merry Christmas by Slade which I got secondhand off a mate.
I only ever bought two proper singles, the second one was Walking on the Moon by the Police which I still think is a cracker.
