Rocky Mountain High by John Denver. Still have it somewhere but haven't played it for 20 years or more.

The Verve - Urban Hymns

I always remember thinking CDs looked so shiny and futuristic when I was younger and having grew up with cassettes ha. I was so chuffed to get my own CD.

PaintedPottery · 26/09/2024 19:56

Regatta de Blanc by the Police. I don’t still have it.

StMarieforme · 26/09/2024 19:59

Wings Over America and no, my bastard ex husband 'lost' all my possessions when we split up.

allnewname · 26/09/2024 19:59

Nolan Sisters... !!

DilemmaDelilah · 26/09/2024 20:01

I bought 2 at the same time. Supertramp Crisis What Crisis and Led Zeppelin (IV). In 1976 I believe.

beetlebrain · 26/09/2024 20:03

The Kick Inside - Kate Bush's first album. Must be kicking about somewhere.

The Cranberries No need to argue. Yes I have it.

Same!

TheWhalrus · 26/09/2024 20:07

Definitely Maybe by Oasis, in about 1996 I would guess. And yes, i still have it, although i've not listened to Oasis in years and I definitely didn't try and buy tickets for the comeback tour.

hexsnidgett · 26/09/2024 20:07

I think it was Boys Don't Cry by the Cure.
Bought from a little electronics/radio shop near my high school. Another world.
Yes, I still have it.

Iwontlethtesungodownonme · 26/09/2024 20:08

Seven and the ragged tiger.

Think it was either the first Kylie Minogue album or ten good reasons by Jason Donavon

Snap! Mine was 10 Good Reasons, on vinyl.
I still have it! Nothing to play it on though.

Oneblindmouse · 26/09/2024 20:10

"Queen". Their first album I think. 1973. I was 13. Yes I still have it, along with Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, Night At The Opera and Day At The Races.All on vinyl. I still play them. Also lots of their singles including Bohemian Rhapsody(first release in 75). Don't really play my singles now though. I actually still have all the albums I have ever bought and am now buying more as I get into listening to new/different bands and seeing them live.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 26/09/2024 20:19

King Crimson's 'In the Court of the Crimson King'
And I coloured all the teeth in, with different coloured felt tipped pens.
Probably devalued it somewhat...

Rio by Duran Duran, it's still upstairs along with most of their singles

Me too😁

feellikeanalien · 26/09/2024 20:30

The Osmonds. Love Me For a Reason. Haven't got it now but this thread has made me want to go and find what's left of my album collection. I used to have loads but over the years and various moves quite a few of them disappeared. I think the rest are in the cupboard under the stairs.

Loveatortie · 26/09/2024 20:31

First album, Pink Floyd, dark side of the moon,first single bought as a birthday present - The Wombles, Wombles of Wimbledon. For my 16th birthday, Blondie, parallel lines and the Sex Pistols never mind the bollocks. Shows my age😂 i still have them 😁
