Your first ever Record / Download.

[W.C.]

I can see this thread only working for us old'uns, but if your download hasn't got a cover or an associated album please feel free to post a link to a YouTube clip instead.

I'll start the ball rolling with this effort I purchased in 1978 as a result of some heavy TV advertising.......

haha, thanks for the memory! My mum and dad had a Darts cassette that we used to listen to all the time in the car driving across Spain.

No idea. It was probably terrible though.

Blockbuster - The Sweet -on 7" vinyl and it's upstairs in the loft room.

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

I'll cover myself in embarrasment but the first record I actually owned would have been this - although I was only 5, I didn't actually choose it.

It's on e-bay at the moment from Across The Tracks in Gloucester Rd. - looks like my parents must have cleared out the loft then.........

Bill Haley and the Comets - Rock Around the Clock - 12" 78 rpm vinyl (one of the first not on bekalite!)

 

[Randsta]

It always amazes me that every famous person's first album was a seminal and cool long player. Surely someone must have started off with something naff? On this theme it seems most people are being honest on this thread

It was probably Now that what I call music would have been late 80's

Single - Bohemian Rhapsody

Album - All Mod Cons

 

[Mad as my Mother]

My first 7" was; Boomtown Rats - I don't like mondays, 1979 bought from Lancing Woolworths
My first Album was bought for me and was the Original Star Wars soundtrack (London philharmonic) 1977 iirc.

Didn't go in for singles - not cool to buy 45's!

My first album was actually three (14th Birthday Present):

First 7 inch single I bought was 2, 4, 6, 8 Motorway by Tom Robinson Band. Think it was from Boots.

The Beatles single, "Please, Please Me" I think, plus a Harry Secombe single, "If I Ruled The World". Purchased by my parents to accompany the family's first record player,
