I am 43

as a teenager i bought this and played it every single day

and this

This my song though.........he isone Iistened to on the radio........the one my sister purchased as a 7 inch....

It still makes me cry

I don't buy records, or have ever bought I just break them

first single i bought myself was the cliff richard and the young ones comic relief single 'living doll' i was ten

Cliff richard urantes on under age men

toblack cloud..i love christopher walken

Not even positive what a record is... but my first cassette tape was one by Randy Travis, I was about 9-10 at the time (so it was '95-'96).

I'mm 99% sure my first vinyl purchase was Astounding Sounds Amazing Music by Hawkwind.

I think the 1st albums I bought were Beatles stuff & some Smokie.

I remember 2 people bought me the same single - Elvis, Just can't help believing one birthday, & I didn't even like it then - I'd have been 7. And someone bought me Ernie - The fastest milk cart in the west.

My first 12" was Chaka Khan's I Feel for you, honestly can't remember my first bought album as I'd already been receiving albums as presents but not buying them by the time I bought a 12"! Probably one of the Electro albums but I've a feeling it wasn't Electro 1

The first 7 inch single I bought was I think shakin stevens and Bonnie Tyler from the local fourboys news agent. I think it was used and I bought it because that cat looked cool and he had my name. They didn't have much selection there but I was young and had no idea.

In later years my first 7 inch I bought knowingly was Doug e fresh and the get fresh crew the show.

First single I bought with my own cash was ...
Jethro Tull - Witch's Promise



Note the creepy end link comment by Savile ...


First album was ...
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin 1

Feather, that album, in mint conditian, is worth about a grand.

(Along with many others).

She'll be foiled though, I played it so much it sounds like it was recorded during a crisp eating contest.

That's fair enough, it'd be worth about 30p then.

In truth, I was chuffed at the albums she saw fit to 'borrow'.

I came home from work one day when she was just wee to the horror of her sitting in the middle of shedloads of my vinyl's scattered all over the floor.

I retained my composure because she's lovely and asked "What are you doing honey?"
Her reply was a bit more rambling but in essence she said......
"Looking at the pretty pictures Daddy. I took the black bits out that keeps them flat though."

Anyone else would have died instantly. Instead my brittle heart melted into mush.
Awwwww.

Lovely story mate.

I left my albums stacked on the bedroom floor while decorating, and found my cat had sharpened her claws down the edge of them! Every one, buggered!
