1st Album & Single you ever bought

[JBDJ]

The title of this thread speaks for its self,

But it has to be a record that you walked into a store and bought for the first time on your own.

Xmas & Birthday presents do not count.

Mines are
1st Single - Stand & Deliver - Adam & The Ants ( May 1981)

1st Album - Kings Of the Wild Frontier - Adam & The Ants (Sept 1981)

1st 12" mix - Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Love Missile F1-11 & Slyfox - Lets Go All The Way (both on same day June 1986 on Holiday in Morecambe of all places).
