The first record you ever bought

This topic may turn out similar to the confessions page,if we tell the truth, I notice every one asked in music mags seems to have bought 'planet rock' when they were 4,anyway to get the ball rolling, the first record I ever got bought for me was 'Rupert and other childrens favourites', the first record I ever asked to be bought for me was E.L.O. 'Don't bring me down'/'Last train to London' *cringes* the first record I ever went into a shop and bought myself was OMD's 'Archietecture and morality' and if Muzik ever asks that's what I'll tell them.

The first single I ever bought was True Faith 94 and the first album was Best Of, i'm proud of this fact!

Don't know about first one bought for me, but the first I bought, both 7" singles, were MC Hammers 'They put me in the mix' b/w a Hammer megamix, and Heavy D and Boyz 'Now that we found love' b/w an instrumental version.

The first album was Heavy D's 'Peaceful Journey'

The first record (45) that I remember buying with my own money was "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" by The Charlie Band.

I know, I know....but I DO live in Texas. Plus it IS a catchy tune.......;)

... fools seldom differ.

Bear in mind I was still a youngster in '94 Huntsy, not a life wearied veteran such as yourself

First tape I ever purchased: some long-forgotten rap trio The Fat Boys

First CD I bought: Best of The Animals (still have that--it's a good one)

First purchase with my own money: Tough to call, but I beleive it may have been something by the VU or JD, I can't remember right off.

Never trust a guy in a silly hat. :D

My parents bought me Michael Jackson's Thriller and his brother Jermaine's album. I don't remember the name of the album but it had a song about ant people on it. I'm surprised that it didn't turn out to be a classic :)

First CD I bought was probably an early REM album like Dead Letter Office (with Chronic Town!!) or Murmur.

oh the shame! the first album i bought was aha`s "hunting high and low" and before u all condemn i was only 8 years old.

7" - John Wayne Is Big Leggy, Hayzee Fantayzee

12" - Blue Monday, New Order

LP - Visage, Visage

Tape - Closer, Joy Division

CD - Force, A Certain Ratio

CD Single - Touched By The Hand Of God, New Order

DVD - 316, New Order

Anal? Moi!

First record I ever bought was "White Light White Heat" by the Velvet Underground, aged 6. I had a family member with a box of very cool records, and the terminal decline set in from a very early age when I got introduced to the Doors and the Beatles when they were still together !

First single I ever bought was "Denis" by Blondie. First CD was "Songs To Learn And Sing" by Echo and the Bunnymen. First bootleg was the ubiquitous Paradiso JD tape.

I am old... My first single was 'Love Is All' by Roger Glover & guests. I bought my first LP when I was 12. It was 'Made In Japan' by Deep Purple (it was a double album; had to save up money for about half a year for that). I bought 2 CD's when I got my CD player: 'Purple Rain' by Prince and 'Infected' by The The.

...my first vinyl single was: Jan Hammer "Crockett's Theme"

...and my first compact disc was: Rick Astley "Whenever you need somebody"...shame on me...

Is this sad enough?

Slade - Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome :o

Bought it in 1984 me thinks. Mostly for the track Run Runaway. Loved that drum intro and that guitar riff. But really it's a shite record, right?

Second purchase was Alphaville's Forever Young. Slightly better. Still not much credibility though.

The first CD I ever bought was (the best of) New Order. I had no idea who they were, I just bought it on the recommendation of a friend. Turned out that most of the songs were songs that I remembered from my childhood and hadn't heard for years. And thats how my New Order fetish began. Not that all my album choices have been good. I once bought a Limp Biscuit album, then after realizing what I had done, gave it to my little brother. Only then did I realize that I didn't want him listening to that crap either, so I snapped Limp Bizcuit in two and gave him my copy Substance and bought myself another.

The first record I ever bought with my own pocket money was Turning Japanese by the Vapours. Also the first LP I bought with my 'own' money was the Vapours New Clear Days.

The first record that I had bought for me, which I liked, was either Elvis the Pelvis's Way on Down or Walking on the Moon by the Polis.

In hindsight not too bad, but at the time I was also a big fan of the Darts!?

In the 70's I also used to be quite a fan of both the Muppets and Rod Stewart. Not very surprising because Rod is a damn Muppet himself.

As for the Housemartins, I wish they hadn't split and that Stormin' Norman still was just a bass player.

Originally posted by Shug KON as soon as I read my message back - I knew someone would post the Rod Stewart is a muppet gag;)

I was stating the obvious again, but I just couldn't resist it. Every now and then I still get ridiculed by my family for singing along to Rod's songs when I was four. Grrr

Mine was - unbelievably - "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison - I was about 6 then - and I'm proud to say I bought this myself with a record token (given me for Christmas by my Aunt) at the market record stall when my elder sister took me shopping one Saturday in January 1971. I got into pop music at an incredibly early age - it was all Beatles , Beach Boys and Manfred Mann in our household when I was a wee nipper, but this was the first record I actually bought: I was given so many more when I was even younger (like alot of those Music For Pleasure EPs - like The Aristocats/Jungle Book - and The Archies "Sugar Sugar") ....I suppose that explains why I've become such an anal pop picker over the years. But why should I be ashamed of that?

Hey Hank - Yeah!!! Architecture And Morality by OMD is still a top album - don't you think? :) Reminds me of that really white Christmas we had in 1981 - when I was at sixth form. And have you listened to the instrumentation on the first "Joan Of Arc" track? Does it sound a bit familiar? If not, then I suggest you listen to "Bizarre Love Triangle" off "Brotherhood" and when the chorus comes along, listen to the synth refrain and tinkling bells part.....you may be pleasantly surprised. I wonder if any other sad NO fan has ever noticed this uncanny similarity (though not exactly note for note, it does sound spookily close)?

Fuck me - I was also a massive Housemartins fan, Shug - circa 1986-88 : I even wrote to them so often that I eventually went out with their merchandising/publicity press officer Janice for a year (she was the one who replied to nearly all my letters , her ex-boyfriend Sean Welch also worked for the Housemartins as roadie before joining Heaton in The Beautiful South as bass player. Shortly after they became huge, me and Jan split up - but it was a good year for me - lots of happy memories.)

First 45:Rock On by David Essex

First LP:Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton

First CD:Just Say Yes (Sire compilation that was dirt cheap that had the Mode, the Bunnymen, the Ramones, the Replacements, Aztec Camera, and Ice-T).

First tape was something by Steve Miller in the later '70's

First LP was Time Passages (I think the album title is corrected) by Al Stewart

First CD is a toughie...can't really remember. Could of been a replacement for soething i had on tape, so, that could have been depeche, REM or New Order...

First music dvd...Crystal!!!!!!!!!

I have no recollection of that.

I just remember my 3 1st films when I bought a DVD player, more than 3 years ago : Scream & Contact.

Originally posted by Johnny Giles Yep, those 2 auld fellas who sat in the balcony throwing moodies, they were superb. Waldorf & something or was it Nick & Seb. Just kidding.First record I bought was 'Leader of the Gang' by Gary Glitter. Looking back, not the cleverist of moves for a 5 year old. Quickly followed by a Rubettes flexi disc that was given away free on the cover of Look In. Great mag.First album - One Step Beyond by Madness. Madness were also my first concert, Liverpool Royal Court in 1981. Oh dear, I can feel a new thread coming on.

WALDORF AND STATLER was it???? THEY WERE GREAT!!! BTW did they ever make a record....

And then this trumpet on 'ONE STEP BEYOND!!!!!' (still hear all my classmates and myself yelling...

OK, for the record(s):

first 7": Kayak - Lyrics first album: Kayak - Kayak (their first album) first 12": New Order - Confusion (almost sure about this one) first CD: New Order - Substance, I even bought it a few years before I had a CD player, since it was sooooo beautiful to see and to have and since I was afraid that maybe it would not be for sale anymore at the time that I would have a cd player!!

first DVD: New Order - 316. AND AGAIN, haha, I DO NOT have any DVD player yet. (By the way, anyone having a good suggestion which DVD player I should buy????).

first Video (music): New Order: live at Brixton!! (then I would never have guessed that live at Brixton would also be my first New Order live experience, only a few (!?!) years later it was).

I don't own it anymore, though I was a big fan of the first three albums, I sold them all when some of their later work god so bad I felt embarrased to own it.Though if I could detatch myself from those feelings, I imagine some of those old tracks are still good, Messages, Electricity,Julia's song,Red Frame White Light(I once rang that number6323003 and had a chat with a girl for about 5 mins)

First 7" - Cool for Cats by Squeeze First album - The Undertones First cassette - The Specials First 12" - dunno! First CD - Substance, the NO one

I like your thinking, buy the DVD before the DVD player...why didn't I do that

Hello again. Finally the problems with bloody provider are in the past, so i am online again. First single : Bohemian Rapsody Queen First album : Queen- Live Killers First 12 inch : Kiss -i was made for loving you First Cd : Sydney Bechet- some Jazz thing

oh, this is bad.... Huey Lewis and the News, SPORTS all the way back in 1985 on tape.

With my own money, I believe I purchased New Order Substance on vinyl a few months back, and I have a little vinyl collection going...

I remember back in the old days before cd players (or at least before their availabilty to the general public) sitting around the house playing the vinyl 45 of Beat It by the ubiquitous Mr. Jackson on my grandma's record player, as well as Bill Cosby comedy albums and some Huey Lewis as well, if I'm not mistaken

My first vinyl 7 inch was The Smiths - Shakespeare's Sister:

my first album (on cassette) was Ocean Rain by Echo and the Bunnymen;

I don't know what my first CD was though.

Kiss - Destroyer

Michael, that 7" you mentioned was really good. the b-side was a song about a man who buried his money in the backyard titled something like "Legend of Wolly Holler". I used to flip it over quite a bit. some things in the south are standard issue i guess.

7" - either Going Underground - the Jam, or Sunday Girl, Blondie - can't remember which 12" - Blue Monday Album - One Step Beyond - Madness
