Madonna's Immaculate Collection, and no I don't - I don't have a cassette player any more.

CeeJay81 · 26/09/2024 18:36

When this topic is talked about...it makes me want to put my head in my hands and hide lol😳. I definitely don't still have it either.

HowardTJMoon · 26/09/2024 18:38

The first album I bought with my own money was Sparkle in the Rain by Simple Minds. I'm pretty sure I've still got it in a box somewhere.

Hatfullofwillow · 26/09/2024 18:39

Pinky and Perky's Hit Parade, with money my Nan gave me. No, I don't still have it. I think the first album I got with my milk round money was Kraftwerk's Man Machine, on cassette. Still have it.

Userofcoffee · 26/09/2024 18:42

I asked for Abba greatest hits when I was knee high to a grasshopper. A bit embarrassing.
My first teen purchase was Kula Shaker album K.

mrsnjw · 26/09/2024 18:45

Thriller Michael Jackson in WHsmith Stratford London happy times

rightoguvnor · 26/09/2024 18:45

Queen Greatest Hits, 1979 or 80.
It's up in the loft along with the rest of my vinyls, including some I'm hoping will fund a cruise or two in my retirement.
Probably get me on the Woolwich Ferry.
