to ask what the first CD/Record/Casette you bought was?

[ihavetoWORK]

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?'

Toni Basil - Mickey (I was about 3, apparently I begged my mum for it for weeks til she gave in and bought the 7")

The first one I bought with my own money was Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell 2.

For years I thought it was I Should Be So Lucky by Kylie Minogue, vinyl from Tesco record counter. But then I remembered buying The Sun Always Shines On TV by A-ha some years before that from the local independent record shop (vinyl of course) which sounds much better.

Single: Slade - Cum on, Feel the Noize

The first LP I remember buying was Queen II but I think I might have bought a couple of deeply uncool children's ones before that

@YouBetterWORK were you very disappointed by Spaceman? I remember rushing out to buy it (on "cassingle") and the song as a whole was nothing like the spacey bit from the ad, that was just the intro!

@ineedamoreadultieradult was it Popped in Souled Out? I had that on tape and would stare for ages at Marti!! I was in love with him when I was 12!
My first single was 'Love of the Common People' by Paul Young. It wasn't a proper single though, I had to save up 8 tokens from Rice Krispies. I am the youngest of 4, so it seemed like such a treat that it was finally my turn and it seems to take ages to save up!! It has a picture of snap, crackle and pop on it and the b side was KC and the sunshine Band with 'Give it up'.
I still like both those songs and I feel it's quite a cool first single!

The first single I bought was Angry Anderson 'Suddenly' (Scott and Charlene's wedding song from Neighbours).

The first proper album - on tape - was New Kids on the Block's first album Hanging Tough.

Argh I'm old!

First single Mr Blue Sky - ELO
first CD, Wish you were Here - Pink Floyd

Happy Mondays pills thrills and belly aches

Toyah, I Want to be Free, 7"

the darts a single on vinyl. not sure what it was called.

had a 'the kick inside ' tape done for me by a friend and i played it till it wore out.

I had Bryan Adam's "waking up the neighbours"(?) and the MAC Hammer album taped by a friend before the East 17 one, though. And tons of stuff taped up from radio shows. "Oh, nooo! Stop talking over the sooong!!!" Haha

Tainted Love - Soft Cell

MC Hammer, Pray I think.

Material Girl - Madonna

Oops I Did it Again.
Britney Spears (of course . Everyone know who that song is by!)

Gambler by Madonna on 7". Paid for with a record voucher I won as a prize!

Denis Denis by Blondie

Ant Music by Adam and the Ants - my parents hated it!

First album was a bit later, Abba Arrival.

First album was M People Bizarre Fruit.

Angel Eyes by Abba 7 inch.
First album was Parallel lines by Blondie.
Glad to see some love for the very under rated Goombay Dance Band 🎼seven tears are running to the river, seven tears are running to the sea 🎼🎷

I had lots given to me but the first one I remember buying myself was Madonna's True Blue album. Still love it.
