    Album – Blur, The Great Escape.
    Single – never ever bought a single in my life, seemed like a total waste of cash and made no financial sense.

    Havent bought myself a CD or any music for the best part of 5 years – I only own 10 or so, I get the odd one for xmas or birthdays but really I usually cant stand 70% of tracks on a CD (maybe a good reason to buy singles!?!).

    Singles [when I was a lad] made perfect financial sense

    pretty much like the downloads now, you don’t end up paying for padding & tracks you don’t want – besides I never had anywhere near enough cash to buy an album & nor did my mates
    I seem to recall a single cost 45p [9/-] which was pretty much all my pocket money for 1 week

    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

    Rolf harris – Two Little Boys

    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.

    A- Apetite for Destruction Gnr
    s- Da Luniz- I Got 5 On It Or Dre- Nothin But A G Thang (cant remember which was first)

    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?

    Single. It’s one of three (I would need to check the dates)
    Either…Bad Manners – Can Can, Pigbag – Papas Got A Brand New Pigbag or DaDaDa by Trio.
    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.

    Saved some pocket money and with the help of my mum

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