Single, My Old Man's a Dustman by Lonnie Donegan.
Album, Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull.

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.

@ surfer...

I know. I know. The shame of it. They were both 12" too.

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!
"do ya wanna be in my gang?"
No! I'm only 3 you ****ing nonce!

Single Deep Purple/Black Night
Album Stray/Stray

I know the first record I owned was
