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?'

First record that was mine (but bought but parents) was Bucks Fizz. I adored them age 5 and my mum was friends with their manager so we got to see them in concert. 😀

First piece of music bought with my own money was Now 11 on vinyl.

First CD bought for me was Fuzzbox ' we've Got A Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It'.

First CD bought with my own money (wages) was Deacon Blue's Greatest Hits. Grin
