May be showing my age here by using the term single! But for me it was Lay your love on me by Racey.
So wish it was something cooler!

2 Unlimited - No Limits. Oh hell yes

The first I remember buying is Abba - the single where they wore blue and silver jumpsuits on the cover. I think it was Take A Chance On Me, perhaps a double A-side?

"I Swear" by All-4-One. I thought I was beyond cool, let me tell you!

First one I bought was Joan of Arc by OMD.

The second one I had was Tears for Fears - Suffer the CHildren. I was hoping that might be worth something some day as it was their Idea 1 and it changed on the album; but they haven't stood the test of time very well so I doubt it's worth anything now.

Take on me by the dish-tastic a-ha. Back in the days when the video hire shop in the village also sold the top 20 7"ers

It was a David Essex single and I was about 8.

Aubergines · 18/04/2010 08:36

I Should Be So Lucky - Kylie Minogue.

It was a 45 speed record and the day I bought it I played it over 30 times. My mum then hid it. I was about 9.
