What was the first single you bought?

Mine was "Resurrection Shuffle" by "Ashton, Gardner, and Dyke".

First album was "Slade Alive" by "Slade". Slade were my first concert also, live at Birmingham Town hall with Thin Lizzy and Suzy Quatro in support.

Noisiest concert was "Hawkwind" at Birmingham Odeon. Ears were ringing for days!!!

First album I bought with my own money was, Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic

First album that i bought was from a local band called Holograf. International first album with my own money was first album of Avril Lavigne.
Every month i buy 2 or 3 albums with music i like.

The First vinyl record I owned was Ted Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever

I actually bought a 7 inch vinyl of 'Tom Sawyer - Live' by Rush...I was about 9 years old & it was in the bargain bin in my local news-agents

First 12 inch single was 'Blue Monday' by New Order

First album - 'Ace of Spades' by Motorhead

First Album i bought was Alice Cooper - "Killer"

First concert was ac/dc with Bon Scott in it

The first single I bought was Children of the Revolution by T Rex. (well actually it was "Ernie, the fastest milkman in the West" by Benny Hill, but I dont usually own up to that) First album was Sheer Heart Attack -Queen, and the first gig I went to was by Sparks

(and the first 12"er I can remember getting was "Marquee Moon" by Television)

Taylor Swift's first CD released in 2006 was the first i've ever bought. Since i've never really liked only one artist's songs (all) before, i thought I'd pay for it haha.

I splashed out on two at the same time (always been keen on things that come in pairs, ahem): they were Rock Around The Clock by Bill Haley And The Comets and Jailhouse Rock by Elvis.

I paid the princely sum of £1.99 for each of them from Woolies.

And before some smartass pipes up: no, that wasn't on their original release.

All the same I do feel my age when someone writes that their first purchase was a CD! It's not a good day when a colleague looks blankly at you, when you refer to "side two"...

My first single was "Me and Bobby McGee". First album was Jethro Tull "Aqua Lung" on 8-Track. Damn, showing my age again.

My first one was , She Loves You, by the Beatles on Swan records.

I guess that makes me as old as the dinosaurs.

the first one i owned (a gift from grandma lol) was pink floyd's the dark side of the moon on vinyl...first one i bought was metallica's ride the lightning

my first album, Boston

Oh it's so good to see oldies like me.

Much to my embarrassment the first single was Daydreamer by David Cassidy which cost about 25p I think and the first album was Dark Side of the Moon.

My music taste improved very quickly.

under the moon of love by laural & hardy..........hey i was only 6.....

First album as a gift was Thriller by MJ

The first album that I bought was Run-DMC's raising hell

My first single was 48 Crash - Suzie Quatro

First owned single (xmas pressie to go with my new massive personal stereo that had a turntable that slid out the bottom) was Step Off by i think it was Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, or Mele Mel. One of those.

The very first record I owned was Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, It was handed down to me by my dad as I used to sing along to it as a nipper (so I'm told), probably has something to do with why I love the man in black's music now......

The first record i bought was Showaddywaddy's greatest hits way back in 1980..... sad but true lol

Whispering Grass by Don Estelle and Windsor Davis.

I'm so ashamed.

Awesome song

The first record I ever owned was Rabbit by Chas & Dave (7" single). Shut up, I was only 7

The first one I ever bought was a 12" gatefold single of Megadeth's Holy Wars... The Punishment Due.

My first was a 45rpm single - Strawberry Fair by Anthony Newley. Saved up for weeks and played it on my glossy new Dansette (not the Major) until the groove wore through. Moved on a bit since then, eh?

@Hash - you've just reminded me what I've been missing all these years! Downloading some Chas n Dave even as we speak!

Meet The Beatles.

I won it in a contest at school and received it in my homecoming class. The teacher was a real d*ckhead who taught Mechanical Drawing for future arquitects and draftsmen (precomputer days obviously) and helped the couches for football and wrestling. If you were a girl he called you by your first name. If you were on a sports team he called you by your first name. If you were a guy and a reject, like me (haha), he either ignored you or looked at you like you were a disease. Needless to say, receiving a record album with the picture of 4 long haired weirdos gave him the opportunity to make fun of me in front of the class. I got the last laugh.

Papa Roach - Infest

First 45rpm was Head Games by Foreigner

First 33rpm was Cornerstone by Styx

And I still like them both. lol

My older sister had a lot of albums, singles so I spent a lot of time listening to them with her.

First albums I ever owned was Pink Floyd - Animals (Still one of the great albums) & Kiss - Hotter Than Hell........
We lived in a mining town near Mt Isa called Mary Kathleen - my mum took my pocket money with strict instructions to return with Pink Floyd & AC-DC. AC-DC was sold out so she bought me Kiss instead. I loved 'em. Hey I was 13 and had no idea........
I still like Kiss today (must be nostalgia), but my wife laughs at me every time I play an album

caroline by status quo, and first concert was sweet sensation, first album paul mcartney and wings - venus and mars album.

My first album that I bought was a Kiss Double platinum. After that was Dokken's Tooth and Nail.

Ah, first record! That takes me back a bit! I actually bought two at once with some birthday money I got - I remember them well. House of the Rising Sun, by the Animals, and Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa, by Gene Pitney. Think they cost two and sixpence each. My parents had just bought a radiogram - it was automatic (!) and you could stack your 45s up top of the spindle and they'd flop down and get played one at a time! Magic! The wonders of modern technology! My first LP came some years later (who needs LPs when you've got an automatic radiogram!), it was the first Bert Jansch album. Twenty five bob, I think.

Fleetwood Mac..."Rumors"

First record I bought was Patches by Clarence Carter and the first LP was Electronically Tested By Mungo Jerry one of the first concerts I went to was Mott the Hoople and the support act was Queen and then a couple of weeks later saw Roxy Music and the support act was Leo Sayer

First 7" single I bought was Revolt Into Style by Bill Nelson's Red noise. Loved that track, it was on blue vinyl. Not too sure about the first album, I think it was Queen - Queen.
