Your first records - honestly!

[Andrew G]

Watching Ashes to Ashes, and loving it. I'm sure a lot of us grew up in the 80s, or you were young things about town at the time, so the music brings back so many memories.

Time to embarass yourself .

What were the first records you bought yourself and owned (probably a present). Probably played on a Music Centre
(for Adam, Stu, and Mo a record looks like a big CD made out of black plastic ).

1st owned: (7") Joe Dolce - Shaddup You Face (given a reprise in episode 1)
1st bought: (7") Tight Fit - The Lion Sleeps Tonight (I wasn't alone it was a no.1)
1st Album bought: (Cassette) Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Flaunt It!

Plenty of , , and there. Your turn to publicly shame yourselves.

1st 7" I ever bought was Dr Feelgood - Milk and Alcohol. Remember it as it was on brown vinyl.

1st album was The Stranglers - Black and White. Still play it today.

1st cassette Diana Ross and The Supremes - Greatest Hits.....didn't strictly buy this, I 'borrowed' it out of a car that was parked up and had its window wide open at 3 in the morning, I was about 13 at the time.

[Grahame]

1st Single:
Paul McCartney and Wings, Mull of Kintyre

1st Album:
Van Halen, Van Halen (on cassette)

1st CD:
Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here

I'm not that young Andrew, I do know at least what they look like!

Can't say I have ever purchased one myself. Although, the first ''album'' I bought was... on cassette... in 1995... '(Whats the story) Morining Glory?' By the greatest band of the 90s Oasis!

Now the first CD I bought, in 1999 was... 'Synkronised' by Jamiroquai

First "45 tours" -

Aha Take on me - actually I think I wanted Take on me, but couldn't find it so got their following single - it was sh*t

Téléphone Un autre monde - best (only?) French rock band at the time, songs still gives me shivers when I hear it.

First "33 tours" -

Dire Straits Making movies - this was found by a friend and I in a caddie outside the tills of a supermarket - hence it was not technically stolen, someone who bought it must have forgotten it. We had great laughs playing the Waltz intro of Romeo and Juliette at 45 rpm

Tears for Fears Songs from the big chair - bought for the obvious singles, but some of the more sombre songs on this were actually really good. It was my uncle who was in new-wave music at the time - Simple Minds, Sisters of Mercy, Cure etc ..

First "cassettes" - Renaud, Indochine, Talk Talk

First CDs - Tribe Abort - Ah, Janet Lavalley ...

[George]

Sylv surely Frances only hit pop song to make it in England was Joe Le Taxi by Vanessa Parady

[Andrew G]
