The first NO album you bought

Substance. Nicked my boyfriends then after him whingeing I bought my own.

It was the 1994 best of, but the first studio one i bought was Technique

Mine was actually the BBC Glasto 87', followed by Substance. (i have voted for Substance as it waqs the first studio based album I got).

Best Of (UK version)!

And a few months later i bought GET READY!!!!

PCL in mid 1983, followed by 1981-82 then Movement and the rest of the albums in release order and mostly on the day of release.

Technique in 2004.

WFTSC first album of theirs I bought on the release date.

I brought the best of first which I loved, I even let my sister nick it because I already decided to buy all of new order's albums starting with low life and then get ready.

Sadly old enough for it to be Movement, then PCL and Lowlife on vinyl (plus assorted 12" singles when the money was there). Brotherhood was the first CD I ever bought, then Substance and Technique. Republic, Get Ready and WSC had to wait for the wonders of mp3.

Haven't heard the first two in years as my vinyl collection stayed in Glasgow while I hit the road...

Best First Post I've ever read.

Cheers :) Seem to remember it was a nightmare when I went back to Woolies and said "you've given me the wrong record for my sleeve". They said "who's it by" and I said "I don't know, I just liked the sleeve!"

This reminds of when I bought PC&L at Woolies, I think in 1993. I took the CD case to the desk for the shop assistant to insert the CD and she had great difficulty finding the CD due to the Factory pattern of lack of artist/title information on the CD cover. She had to come back and ask me who the artist was!

My first was actually "stolen" from my sister's room (Substance) so I don't think that counts. I wasn't allowed to purchase music as a kid (parents thought it was a waste of money) so it wasn't until I was 16 that I was able to buy my ownstuff and bought Republic.....so that's my first legitimate purchase.

and for those worried, I later bought my own copy of Substance and returned the originaltomy sister..........7 years later:D

Vinyl lp of Low Life

FEP 313. PCL a few weeks later all bought early '84.

Since Substance is in the poll, and is actually my first New Order album, then I voted for it.

Then days later, I was able to borrow a Low-Life LP before buying (my first) Brotherhood cassette tape. (It was borrowed and never returned. I bought a second one.) So Brotherhood was my first studio album.

Indeed!

As one who is old enough to have bought the JD albums in order, then it was Movement then every other album in order plus the singles in order - except Subculture which I still don't own.

I bought Technique first, and it remains my joint favourite album to date.

Voted for Low life, even though my bro bought it back for us via a priate copy on tape. So not strcitly bouhgt it. I have however since those early days bought it on vinyl, box tape, CD so I've paid my dues back. Low life was on one side and PC&L on the other I was 12-13 yrs old and felt i was let into some great secret and never looked back,

1981-1982.

Does this count ?

"The Mini Album" ("Mesh", "Hurt", "E.E.G" etc), didn't need to buy "Movement" as my brother bought it 1st; and I just "borrowed" it (for-life) when the time was right.

Same again

"Movement" on the day of release. Bought it at "Electric Circus", a record shop in Oslo, Norway

"Substance." Purchased used in late 1987. Still have the CD--the case for CD #1 is completely beat to crap and falling apart.
