1st single was Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones (1971, with a record token), otherwise it would be Mama Weer All Crazee Now by Slade (1972, real cash).

1st album was Never Mind The Bollocks by Sex Pistols (1977).

I think I started to hear music in prehistory. Hehe. The first album I was shocked (I was 10 years old) was Trilogy Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

The first single I ever bought myself- Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield with Maggie Reilly (1983)
First album- Rio by Duran Duran (though on cassette, not vinyl, as I didn't have a record player until I was 18)

My mum did buy me a few 45's when I was little though, including one by The Wombles, and 'The Bucket Of Water Song' from 'Tiswas'. I also had 'The Smurfs All Star Show' album as a 12th birthday present.

Re: 1st Album & Single you ever bought

I don't remember my first single because I never really bought singles. If I heard a song I liked I'd usually buy the album. I honestly can't remember ever going into a shop and buying a 7 inch. I think my folks bought me songs on 7 inch I liked when I was a kid, but that's about as far as it went.

I do remember my first album that I actually went into a shop myself and bought - it was "Heaven and Hell" by Black Sabbath. I'd already got a couple of rock albums that had been bought for me but this one was the first I'd ever gone into a shop and purchased myself.

I don't have it on vinyl anymore due to a stupid era in my life when I sold most of my record collection, but I've got it on CD and it's still a very special album to me, even if it's not one of Sabbath's greatest.

Cheers,
