i really cant do with out music every day and yet i cant remember either of those 😕

what does that say about me?
think my dad insisted that i never buy singles as it was a pointless format. how wrong he turned out to be.

Not sure about first ones I actually bought myself, but the first ones I got as presents after specifically asking for them were a single by Olivia Newton John and Rio by Duran Duran.

1st single - metal guru; t rex (only liked them because I liked dinosaurs 🙄 )
1st album - (apart from several Top of the Pops ones like that above) prob Sweet's Greatest Hits or something

1st tape - "Alas, Smith and Jones" 1st album - Debaser 1st single - 3a(ee-ay)m Eterna(er-er-erer)l.

Singles, I bought two - one was a Howard Jones one...noting to be ashamed of. The other one was...

...something by Pete Cetera. Oh Jeezuz. 😳

Album: Kids from Fame.

something by Pete Cetera

The first single I bought was something god awful pop single reduced to 15p or something from Arnotts store and was Middle of the Road or something (possibly even chirpey chirpey cheap cheep). I actually thought 45's were so called because they cost 45p...

The first album I personally bought was probably Feeding of the 5,000 by Crass or Grubby Stories by Patrik Fitzgerald.

The first album I owned though was a k-Tel special Country Comforts....

Long Haired Lover from Liverpool by Little Jimmy Osmond,

And by way of contrast (I think it might have been this, but hard to recall)

Down to Earth by Rainbow.

First Album

First Single

[img] [/img]

single; tubeway army-are friends electric
album; (not sure) queen-greatest hits or rush-hemispheres

Jeezus, expecting me to remember back forty years or so...
Not sure, but I [i]think[/i] my first single that I bought myself may have been [i]Albatross[/i] by Fleetwood Mac, or possibly [i]Rose Garden[/i], by Lynn Anderson. First album, may have been Sergio Leone's [i]Fistfull Of Dollars[/i] soundtrack on vinyl, or [i]Pictures At An Exhibition[/i], by ELP, or [i]Bridge Over Troubled Water[/i], by Simon And Garfunkle, on cassette. I've still got them kicking around somewhere, but I really can't remember which I bought first.
Age, you see...

First album bought with own money (as opposed to having bought for me as a pressie) - AC/DC 'For Those About To Rock' in gatefold sleeve 🙂

Can't remember the single 🙁

album: Jethro Tull : living in the past (I think!)

Single: Underworld: Born Slippy - I never really bought any singles as a kid.

Gary Glitter - leader of the pack! I shit you not!

Album - Flaming Star, Elvis Presley

DebZ, Honey Bane should be congratulated as an artist who was earmarked for pop stardom by the big music bizz, but just walked away from it all. She was expected to become the next Toyah Wilcox/Hazel O'Connor, but chose not to go down that path and ended her contract with EMI (or whoever) and recorded with Crass records, choosing to do what she wanted to do rather than what the big music execs wanted her to do. I wasn't aware of that at the time, 30 years ago.

I've got that 999 single stashed away somewhere

Yeah, me too & the Nasty Nasty/No Pity one - Which I still think are two of the finest punk records ever made.....

Album - Prince Charming adam and the ants

First single was 'Shaddap You Face' by Joe Dolce in Feb 81, aged 9.

First album was 'Prince Charming' by Adam & The Ants in Nov 81, aged 10.

Trying to remember the first CD I bought.

Album - was either Pet Shop Boys' Introspective or Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet. OK, neither cover me in glory.

Single - really can't remember. Could well have been something much later.

First single was Star Trekkin by The Firm. Can't remember the first album - it might have been Billy Joel...

First single was Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas, but it may have been an asked for prezzie.
