Green River by CCR - I didn't have a record player and had to pay my older sister so I could use hers! First albums were Get Yer Ya Ya's Out and Parsley Sage etc., by S&G (still no record player but working like hell for pocket money to pay my sister off )

Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd
Carrie - Cliff Richard
When your in love with a beautiful woman - Dr. Hook

1979, cost 99p each and I was 8!

But then came Adam and the Ants and I was hooked (pun?)

LP : ACDC Let there be rock
single : Da ya think I'm sexy Rod Stewart ? maybe. I remember I was quite excited by the song (and the video !). "Let's all chant" was one of the very first too and "airport" by The Motors.

Voodoo Chile. It went to No1 in the UK charts after Hendrix died.

She Loves You by The Beatles.

I remember my first CD that I bought. It was Wandering Spirit in 1993. Before that, of course, I bought cassettes, but I can't remember, which was the first one.

The first record I actually bough with my own money was (drum roll please)....Monkees 1st LP, which I traded to my sitter, two days later for The Beatles Help....1966--around 8 years of age.

A best of compilation by Deep Purple. Forgot the name of the record

Beatles "1967-70" (2nd hand)
(er...) Sweet "Strung up"

Can't remember my first single, must have been something between "Rockin' All Over the World" and "Heart of Glass".

What memories! The first record I ever bought was "Yummy Yummy Yummy" by the Ohio Express. The first album I bought was Paul Revere and the Raiders Greatest Hits. The first CD for me was Steel Wheels. Ironically, the first Stones album I ever had was bought for me by my mother (still can't figure out why - she hated all that rock n roll stuff!). She gave me December's Children and I hated it! I told her they sounded like a bunch of hillbillies. Well, the stuff I heard on the radio by the Stones was great, so I took a chance and bought Between The Buttons. I immediately became hooked and began my years of addiction. There is no cure!

Good trade!

I Wanna Hold Your Hand - the 45 single

Thanks, Edith...I thought so too...I remember the Monkees lp was only 2.49, and that the Help LP was over $5.00...began a lifetime of trading, that still continues!

My 1st Stones album was Out of Our Heads, shortly after this trade. It took a while to save up enough dough to buy an album, as .25 cents a week was the standard allowance in those days.

I started buying records in 1968 when I was nine. That's when I noticed they had a small selection of albums for sale at the Path Mark where my mom bought our groceries. My first album was Gary Puckett and The Union Gap. I bought it because I liked the Civil War-inspired jackets they were wearing in the cover photo. My second album was The Beatles Second Album. Still get a little misty-eyed when I hear Gary Puckett. The Beatles, not so much.

My mother bought me Thriller back when it came out, I believe I was 4 04 5 years old, but she kept returning it because she thought it was repeating on Beat-It. LOL

The first album I begged my parents to get me was Whitesnake - Whitesnake in 1987. I was in 6th grade. I still love that album.

Hits 93 on cassette probably. Featuring Boom, Boom Shake The Room (Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince) and Relight My Fire by er, Take That.

I didn't buy any more releases for a couple of years, except for Three Lions On A Shirt (England Euro '96), Wonderwall (Oasis) and a song called Spaceman by Babylon Zoo.

My first ever was "MySweet Lord" on 45 I pais .99 cents for it. I rememeber hating the B side "Isn't it a pity" which I just love today.

I Want To Hold Your Hand/I Saw Her Standing There.
Purchased at a school fundraiser night.
