What was the first vinyl single, album, CD, cassette or 8-track you bought?

[TheTecknician]

Mine was Car 67 by Driver 67. I bought it with a Boots gift voucher just after Christmas 1978. The B-side, an instrumental called Communications Breakdown (nothing to do with Led Zeppelin) is the superior track.

Ebony and Ivory by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder

A Top of the Pops Compilation album, early 70s!

Blockbuster by the Sweet. Stonking track!

Thanks OP, Car 67 is now my ear worm for the day!
I too went to Boots with a voucher and bought 2 singles, The Inbetweenies by the Goodies and Killer Queen by Queen

The Sun Always Shines on TV or Train of Thought by Aha, can't remember which one. It was from Parrot Records, a vinyl single, I was 10 or 11 and I also bought in that trip a Famous Five choose your own adventure game book and a pen that wrote in silver with a green outline. Must have had some birthday money or something

Car 67 was a curious success. I was nearly eight when it charted; punk was finished and disco was on its way out. New Wave bands hadn't really got going so I suppose the field was wide open for an oddity like Car 67. Obviously it caught my ear.

Kylie and Jason - Especially For You on cassette.

Probably a Donny Osmond album.

Itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini by Timmy Mallet on a tape single, probably late 80s?

the first decent music I bought was Pearl Jam Ten, on CD when I got a CD Walkman.

12" version of Blue Monday by New Order! I still have it!

First single Mony Mony by Tommy James and the Shondells.
First LP Ragas and Reflections by Ravi Shankar.
Still have them but let Alexa play them now as they sound of a certain age, a bit like me.

Jack and Jill by Raydio 1978

You see the trouble with me Barry White

Pretty sure it was Bohemian Rhapsody, whenever that was, mid 1970s?

Come up and see me (make me smile) - Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

1975 on cassette

The Wombles!! I was a small dc and I remember going to Windows in Newcastle.. Sadly it's closing down. Or may have already gone..

Single, can't remember, possibly something by the Osmonds
Cassette - Abba Arrival
Album - War of the Worlds
CD - Brothers in Arms

The Monkees, I'm a Believer and Daydream Believer, not sure which was first, late 60s

First cassette single - Ace of Base, The Sign.
First CD single - The Prodigy, Breathe.
But I definitely had albums before that as remember having Kylie and Jason albums on cassette tape!

Ride a White Swan by TRex

First single was Lorraine by Bad Manners.

I think my first album was Dare by Human League but not absolutely sure if it was the first.

Both in the early 80s

Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell. Cost me 8/6d.

Kylie Minogue when I was 8. I got a Walkman & the cassette for my birthday.

You have excellent tastes ! Tho not my first ones I certainly had war of the world's and brothers in arms.
I still listen to a lot of dire straits on Spotify .
I think my 1st single was Billy Joel, we didn't start the fire
My 1st album was the first Hits completion album

My first single was Kim Wilde - Cambodia.
