Discounting some 'Top Of The Pops' albums by cover artists that you used to be able to get for fifty pee in Woolworths, when I got a weekly wage I spent almost a third of it on:
I'm pretty sure it was 14/6 when I bought it and I remember the track order being slightly different to that now published.

Adam & the Ants 'Prince Charming' on cassette, £4.79 from Woolworths 'Ant Rap', 3rd single, gets overlooked by title track & 'Stand & Deliver' number ones.
The first album I bought new was Paul Simon Graceland, on cassette, from Andy's Records at the top end of St John's St., Bury St Edmunds. Edit: Think I still have it somewhere.
Second-hand, I'm not sure, but possibly Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Think my first vinyl record album was Wishbone Ash Number The Brave, again 2nd hand. Regularly used to browse the 2nd hand bin at Andy's when I was in sixth form at KEGS.
The first album you bought. on 10:38 - Jul 6 by Guthrum

Mine was Born in the USA on cassette from the little record shop (I can't remember the name) in Mildenhall. I played it until the tape literally wore out
It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.
