First 7 inch was The Jackson's - Show You The Way To Go.
First album The Police - Outlandos D'amour.

These weren't my first ever records but they were the first i bought with my own money as a kid

 

[seeformiles]

first single "oh What a Circus" - David Essex (really wish it was something cool but 5p in Woolworths is pretty persuasive at that age)

First LP "Parallel Lines" - Blondie (£3.25 I recall - for my 8th or 9th Birthday)

 

[albionism]

Hahaha. I think just after i bought Amigo by Black Slate(which i still love), i bought Tom Hark by The Piranas, which i hate

I still listen to it now and have seen them a few times over the last couple of years - still great nearly 30 years on

I play it often and it still sounds as good today as it did when i was a kid

 

[sojourner]

Okay, I have had a good hard thunk, and it's either Status Quo - Dog of Two Head, or Black Sabbath - Paranoid


Can't for the life of me remember which though
