Do you remember the first music track you bought?

[comperdenise]

Mine was Bonnie Tyler - Eclipse of the Heart

Still love that track

Especially for you - Kylie Minogue. Oh yeah, total TUNE 😂

@Toddlerteaplease ooh good choice! Making a note to add to my Spotify playlist!

St Elmo's Fire - and I am sure I got it from Boot's - did they sell records?

Oooohhh! I technically my 1st was a 3 way tie - Woolworths had a deal 3 Cassettes for £X - they were Billie Piper (Honey to the Bee) Aqua (Barbie Girl) and Eminem (Stan) - Yes I know, i had somewhat eclectic taste!

Boots did sell records. That's where I bought Car 67. My brother bought Cars by Gary Numan in Boots about nine months later.

I got a turntable for my 8th birthday and my mother gave me $1 to buy my first single.
I wanted to buy the Rolling Stone's "Miss You" because I loved the bit about the "Puerto Rican girls just dyin' to meet you".
My 16-year-old sister said that it wasn't a suitable song for an eight-year-old to buy so she took my $1 out of my hand and bought Barry Manilow's "Copa Cabana".

41 years later and I still haven't forgiven her.

Kylie minogue- I should be so lucky

East 17 - around the world ! From Woolworths !

My first track was on a small round piece of black vinyl called a 'record' by Gerry and the Pacemakers 'Don't let the sun catch you crying'. I still have it (somewhere). Now I feel really old.

Peter Andre mysterious girl

I Wanna Know What Love Is ....!!

The x files soundtrack. Played it so much I warped the cassette 🤣

Pj and Duncan - Stepping Stone

Fallen by Evanescence, so not a track but an album (does Going Under count as that's the first song?) I was 15, it was the Christmas holidays and I had to get it from WHSmith because I was too scared to get it from HMV or Virgin music (I was a shy little bean and the 'cool' shops scared me.) Still love that album at 31 although I'm on my fifth copy of the CD, and I mostly listen to it on my tablet now.

Free Alright Now or My Brother Jake from a stall on the market which sold second-hand records. Classics.

Billie Honey to the Bee, Steps 5 6 7 8 and Barbie Girl by AQUA singles on tape (might have been others on the tape I don't remember). I remember regretting not getting the Spice World Album instead. So I persuaded my sister to on her birthday and then wouldn't let her listen to it.

Denis Denis by Blondie!

The Wild Boys by Duran Duran! Still love those guys to this day ❤️
