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?'

I do like to remind my big grown up sons (one death metal fan, one r n b/rap fan, one electronica fan) that their first albums were Robbie Williams, Steps and Bob the Builder.

My god wfrances that takes me back! I recall I wasn't allowed to watch the mini pops much to my chagrin because my mother deemed them 'inappropriate'.

My first record was Shakin Stevens 'Green Door'
