Inspired by the B*witched thread which has made me feel bloody old what was the first song you purchased?

Mine was The Tamperer ft Maya - Feel It

'What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?'

A friend of mine buys all his mates' babies carefully chosen CDs so they will have 'cool' answers when asked this question (well, almost, I guess when asked what their first CD was..!). DS got 'come to daddy', Aphex Twin. Erm, thanks. We're sticking with my old Playschool records for a while yet...!
