What was your first ever track bought, not borrowed or taped. Can you remember? Vinyl, CD was it a single, 12 inch or album? :smileythinking: :smileyblush: :smileygrin:
Or are you the MP3 generation and downloaded it?

I think it was 'Candles in the Rain'. This was a cult album when I was at University.

Remember this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqoDXhO3MxI&feature=related

They don't make them like they used to!!!!!

Remember I was a teenager through the 60's - flower power and all that. I still consider myself fortunate to have been in my 'teens for the greatest ever year for music - 1967.

Previous albums like Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper were bought by my sister!!

I think the first singles bought for me were:

"Dead Ringer For Love" by Meatloaf
"The Can Can" by Bad Manners

I think the first album I got my parents to buy me was the Adam and the Ants album lol

The first single I ever bought with my own money was 'Radio gaga' by queen.

Not quite sure if it's the very first single I bought myself, but one of the first and the one I remember spontaneous:
The Romantics - "Talking in your sleep"

Watch the video here:

Had a tape recorder (reel to reel, weighed a ton) before I had a record player. Taped Top of the Pops weekly and saw tape as a better option than discs for ages. When I did get a record player for my 21st I got some vouchers as well and bought 3 LPs – Cliff, one I can’t remember (possibly Judy Collins or Joni Mitchell???) and the other was Melanie with ‘Candles in the Rain’ (Thal – link is great). Lost the original copy of the latter when I moved home from Belfast in 1979. In the interim I think the first 45 I bought was ‘Seasons in the Sun’ by Terry Jacks.

About a year ago decided my collection of vinyl was just taking up space, so around 200 LPs went to the charity shop. I WANT THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Oops, not Thal, you're too young. I meant Blencogo.
