What was the first record you ever bought can you remember?

Mine was eye of the tiger by survivor from the Rocky film.

I'm 38 now so it must have been 30 years ago ish..

See my Baby Jive, by Wizzard. Still think it's a great song.

The Muppets album. At a jumble sale, when I was about 7. I think I'd still laugh at Kermit singing 'Lydia the Tattooed Lady' if I listened to it today.

Buck's Fizz. It was an album (because even then I'd worked out an album was better value than a single). Oh deary me...

I bought American Pie by Don McClean and Without you by Nilsson on the same day in 1972, with money given to me for my 13th birthday, first one is still a favourite today, and always on my MP3

Perry Como - a 78 with 'Catch a Falling Star' on one side and 'Magic Moments' on the other. It cost 7/6 (if you can understand that then you are nearly as old as me ).

Anyone else of, ahem, a certain age remember those LPs on the Hallmark label (I think) that looked like compilations of hits but were actually crappy covers?

Can't remember how many times I was taken in by them.

First vinyl single was Need you tonight by INXS when big bro bought a record player. I think I'd bought a few tapes before that Duran Duran Rio might have been the first tape.

By amazing coincidence, this was also my first single bought....

First album bought was Three Sides Live, by Genesis

The first album I had abought for me was by the Bay City Rollers and I got it with a second hand record player for my birthday ... about 7 or 8?
I didn't buy many singles, I used to tape the songs off the top 40 pn Sunday afternoons! But two singles I remeber buying are David Bowie Ashes to Ashes, and Blondie Sunday Girl.
