[quote="Seanieh_PengeDaddy©"]Most prized vinyls are Blue Monday in the original 'floppy' sleeve that nearly bankrupted their record company. They lost £££ on every one sold.

I think the first one I bought was "Imagine" by John Lennon. It was in the chart for ages after his murder. "Working Class Hero" was on the B-side - which had some bad language in it. Just as well my Mum didn't notice.

Around the same time, I also bought "I Surrender" by Rainbow - a bit of Hard Rock to contrast completely with Lennon's hippy love/peace stuff. Just listening to it again on last.fm - think I'll have to get a copy for my iPod....

I think I knew that record shop - they only had vinyle didn't they?

Saw H. Cornwell on a showcase in Borders a few years ago, he was good.

[quote="Andrew G"] You put the needle in the centre and it works its way out to the edge as it plays.

Actually I just thought of an earlier single I bought - marco you would be proud of me:

1984 - "Hip-hop" by Sidney. He had the first rap tv program in the world!

I was 7 when I bought [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcxVGfGgPak]The Lion Sleeps Tonight[/url], I don't think I was aiming to buy something that would still be seen as cool when I was in my 30s .
I do still have that original purchase though, think I've still got the Sputnik tape as well although I fear Joe Dolce has vanished.

THe first record I was bought was a 7" from Woolies. It had a photo of some teddy bears on the front and about four songs on it, The Osmonds and "Do you want to be in my gang" by Garry Glitter, very dodgy!
First single I bought myself was Ghost town and the first album was Madness 7.
The first album I ever had though was The Bay City Rollers.

I must admit that I am very concerned by the number of people who bought the Pet Shop Boys as one of their first ever singles. Joe Dollcie is also a very serious crime against good musical taste. My brother bought Vienna by Ultravox - which I think had the longest ever run at number 2. It was held off the top spot by Joe Dollcie.

It could be worse though - someone could have 'fessed-up to owning some Shaking Stevens or even Chesney Hawkes. That must be a capital offence....
