Dont get it - at least not when I was a youngun, CD singles were £6-7 and albums (with more tracks and usually 3 or 4 decent ones out of 12) were £12-14. How is a single financial sense? Where were you buying 45p singles?!
I would've thought he's talking about vinyl singles. I remember them being about 30-40p
Single - Rolf harris - Two Little Boys (I was only a Kid)
Album - Black Sabbath - Paraniod
Album was greenday - dookie
Single not entirely sure
Yeah - I'm talking vinyl
early 70s - I may well have the cost wrong though
[i]Rolf harris - Two Little Boys [/i]
Quality! I was singing that to my boy just the other day. He thought the "broke off his horse's head" line was hilarious!
Not sure about the single, but I think
Adam and The Ants - Kings Of The Wild Frontier was probably the first album.
First and only single: Freestyler - Bonfunk MC's
First album..... cough Aqua.... cough cough...
Second album made up for it however Jurassic 5 - Quality Control PHEW!

I remember hearing that Beddingfield woman on the radio one day when i was in my car. She was asked this Question to wit her answer, "Stevie Wonder, Music of my Mind". I shouted " you lying arsehole" so loud i nearly crashed. Every body knows early teenage girls buy Now or some nonsense. Anybody here still listen to their first albums for anything other than to reminisce?

The first album I owned was Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam And The Ants but the first album I spent my own cash on was the followup, Prince Charming.

First Single would have been much much later (I wasn't really into singles) probably this as it was only available on single.
