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?'

Taranta · 14/07/2017 21:12

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'
