Oi! With the poodle already
That/Those tapes were brilliant! Introduced me to tons of songs I hadnt heard before - I was 16 iirc 1986? My hub is now chilling chums with Huw Lloyd Langton and I nearly wet myself whenever he says he had a beer with him round a mates...
The first I was given was Abba Gold from my nan. The first tape I bought was Culture Clubs first album. The first vinyl was Adam and the Ants...

Excellent album btw, prefer The Crossing myself though.

back on the other side
Can you remind me what the other ones in the series were? I think there was a classical music one.that sounds like a great mix!
For what its worth, looking at my tape now and it says 1983 on it.That/Those tapes were brilliant! Introduced me to tons of songs I hadnt heard before - I was 16 iirc 1986?

One small step for me
First one I bought was an early K-Tel hits compilation, but the first proper album was The Slider by T-Rex.
Never For Ever - Kate Bush.
The artwork on and inside that album fascinated me as a young lad.
Opening it up,the visuals,the smell,the static.
I bought it in a crumy independent record shop on the Walworth Road.
(Really miss those shops.)
My friends were buying "New Romatic" stuff.
They laughed at my selection.
(But the adult behind the counter gave me a nod of approval.)
Yes i did have a crush on her and a GIANT poster of her in my bedroom.
(Yes that one with the nipples !)
(And i still think it's a cracking album.)

The album recieved was the soundtrack to the magic roundabout movie dougal and the blue cat. It was years before I saw the film.
First album bought as teenager was The Stranglers - Feline

I found and rebought the first album I ever owned in the market in Crystal Palace the other week. I can't imagine I'll play it, but I was very pleased to own it again. It has a lovely cover too.

IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL

Tho before that i had a Wally Whyton album i used to love, and a "hits" album that had D-I-S-C-O on it and I wanna Be Straight by Ian Dury

Dont walk away in silence
first LP? don't remember tbh - didn't start buying records til @ 97 and the freedom of spare time at college and local charity shops .
first albums (after a Wombles hits tape cadged off my dad) were Shakespeare's Sister - Hormonally Yours and Tasmin Archer (the album with Sleeping Satellite on it) , first I bought myself were the old Lennon collection and Beatles - Abbey Road (two for £20 'sale' in smiths iirc)

Lost in the mists of time, but probably something by Pinky and Perky*, a Wombles album and then later on, when my musical tastes had matured, the Muppets album previously mentioned.
*play it at a slower speed and it's just two geezers singing. Massive disillusionment!

I bought that for a quid the other day. I was so pleased with my self.
As for the first album I think Im gonna have to admit to it being the Bay City Rollers.
El Sueno

Apart from a Playschool album with Brian Cant singing about having a bath; "where's the soap?" and other classics such as; "heads, shoulders, knees & toes" (which was definately bought for me, not by me), my first album was this one:-
Had to buy it again a year later cos I'd played it so much it was scratched to fuck.
Same here... it was either Madness or the Ants in my classroom. I thought they were both cool, but since I had to choose it was the Ants. After Top of the Pops every Thursday night, when 'Stand & Deliver' was no.1 for 8 weeks or whatever, I'd rush upstairs to mum's make-up drawer and do myself up like a right dandy highwayman.
I DJ'd the other night and stuck on 'Ants Invasion' from 'KOTWF' and it sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Fucking awesome band.

At one point in my primary school the boys were split into two camps; those who were into Adam and The Ants and those who were into Shakin' Stevens.
It was only me and my mate who liked Adam and The Ants so we took a shoeing most days.

Very similar to me re parents' music - lots of rock n roll, country, blues, jazz, and an album of Hawaiian songs that had a really fit woman on the front in a grass skirt wearing a thing (can't remember the bloody name for them - flowery shit) round her neck
And also, the first album bought for me was probably Grease!
For the life of me, I cannot remember the first album I bought, though I think it must have been either Status Quo or Black Sabbath, specifically Dog of Two Head and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Me & some mates at primary school did a dance routine to Prince Charming & This Old House at a school show. The shame.

Ozzy Ozborne and the Blizzard of Oz
Still a fantastic album. It was his first album after leaving Black Sabbath and really established his post Sabbath sound. I saw him on that tour too. I must have been 15 years old.
I never really liked any other Ozzy albums after this one but It remains one of my favourite albums ever. Mr Crowley. I Don't Know. Suicide Solution. Crazy Train. Every track is a classic.
