What was the first album you ever bought? First I was defiant, then embarrassed, 16:04 - Oct 5 with 2979 viewsWeWereZombies

And then suddenly they were cool...and now it is the stuff of yesterday's reality television.



I no longer have it, despite having desecrated the gatefold sleeve by cutting the front off and sticking it on my bedroom I still managed to sell it for fifty pence a couple of years later.

Again probably bought from Boots opposite(ish) the main Post Office in Ipswich and I probably paid the full £2.40.

The Traffic track - 40,000 Headmen - made me go out and buy all their albums. Went to Colchester Uni to see what would have been their last live performance but they never showed. Still a Stevie Winwood fan.


My next albums purchased were In the Court of the Crimson King, Unhalfbricking and Five Leaves Left.

If the sampler was released to promote the various albums the songs were drawn from then it certainly worked on me. Much later bought Stand Up and The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (doesn't feature 40000 Headmen of course).

I no longer own any vinyl (it has been years and I still can't think about that too much - it was a disaster) but have digital versions of all the tracks from the album.

My first album was a compilation of Aerosmith's 70s stuff called Pandora's Toys. I bought it with an HMV voucher I'd been given as part of payment I received from BT for "modelling"with my cousin for an advert for a schools computer program called Campus World. (I got the gig because they needed high school kids in their school uniforms and me and my cousin attended Karate lessons at Adastral Park).

This was about 1994/95 I'd guess. I had already been into 80s/90s Aerosmith for some time and had wanted to get into their 70s stuff (reasonably impressive for a 10 year old I'd say!) I still have the CD

Not my first album I bought, but still my favourite of all time.


It is an absolute belter of an album.

You were lucky. It could have been "Dirk Wears White Sox".


Dirk Wears White Sox is a cracking record.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

not too different, Purple's 'In Rock' although i still lie it, it never really became one of my favourites


A few months after I bought 'Paranoid' I taped 'In Rock' on cassette from a friend's LP and then it was the first tape I played in my bedroom when I first scored some very decent hash. I still have the memories of an illusion of a sort of mitre of light repeatedly flashing over my frontal lobes as I listened to, I think, 'Child In Time'. Like I said, it was very decent hash.

I think my first was Daid Soul's debut album on cassette in 1976, but I was young and life revolved around Starsky and Hutch and Charlie's Angels for me, along with ITFC....if Farrah had released an album I'd have been in there too. To my credit I think, within a few months I'd bought ELO's New World Record and I had a poster of Paul Mariner alongside Farrah on my bedroom wall...maybe I just liked big hair?

I was going to say Thriller, but I had that for Christmas from parents, whereas I spent pocket money on this and played it to death.



This vinyl still gets played occasionally in this house!

Think my first purchase was 2.

Blur-Blur
The Verve-Urban Hymns

I can't remember exactly which was first... but think it would've probably been one of these...
