The first that was bought for me was something northern-England-folkish. Maybe the Houghton Weavers. But that's stretching my memory further than it usually likes to go. I'm fairly sure it included "D'ye ken John Peel". Google is letting me down.
The first record I bought myself (it must have been with birthday money) was Men Without Hats "Rhythm of Youth". I was 10. Discovering that there was music other than the stuff my parents listened to just in time for 80s. I've been scarred ever since.
Hi all, Slim. "D'ye ken ", remember it well, Is there not a tape somewhere of the Beatles using it for a rehearsal one day. They were pretty rubbish at that stage. The group you mentioned did they not have a big No 3 last year.
Well the first one I can remember every buying with my own money was Cottonfields by the beach boys.

Well peeps it's so hazy and vague now (god the tortured years that have passed lol) but I think it was "Automatically Sunshine - The Supremes"
Thos heady heady days of school disco's - boys one end, girls the other, each group eyeing up the other.......whats changed? lol
If you like Grieg, never go to Bergen. He must have been their only successful export, and they don't want the tourists to forget. I was on the verge of murdering someone after the first day.
DJohn - noted - I will never darken the doorsteps of Bergen
KitKat - Woohoo - TenPole Tudor - I loved that record!!
Mandy - thank god your tastes have changed
I'm ashamed to say it was Come back my love, by Darts!!!! :cry:
I was never one for singles, so the first was Sinful by Pete Wylie in around 1986.
The first of many albums was Lionheart by Kate Bush, possibly just for the cover. Eeh it's so long ago I can hardly remember.
Wilma still plays it when she is doing the housework - dunno what you are ashamed about! :shock: :shock: :shock:
I remember it as though it was yesterday. Sneeking out of the house, catching the bus into town, and then trying in vain to hide under my jacket on the way back home.
"The Number of The Beast" Album by Iron Maiden. The real bummer was when I got it home the hard facts of reality dawned on me......
i hadnt even got a freakin record player.!!!!!!!
OH BUGGER!!

OMG this is embarrassing, if other people hadn't admitted to what they'd done I doubt I ever could.
Having said that I'm no longer ashamed to admit that the first two records I ever bought were:
The laughing gnome by David Bowie and the monster mash by (I think) Bobby Picket and the crypt kicker five. Some time round about 1974 I think.
Don't ask me how much they were coz I can't remember.
I'm not sure if I'm gonna get any credibiltiy back here but at the same time I had to order " Coz I luv you" by Slade because it was out of production at the time. That record still brings back some very good memories for me.
Steve
lol, I am ashamed to say what my first record was.
Russ Abbott - Oh what an atmosphere
HOW SAD, DONT BAN ME FROM THE FORUM, lol
My sister was in love with Noddy Holder...... I remember most of their songs but only because she had them. I am not as old as you Kat!!!!
Love
Wilma

I thought this very old thread was worth reviving. A more recent thread (you can guess which one) has reminded me that the first record I ever bought was Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport, byRolf Harris
Mike.
Over the rainbow by Matchbox ... or Pretty Little Angel Eyes - Showaddywaddy - actually I never bought that the band themselves gave it to me :shock:
:lol: :lol: :lol:
