First ever single you bought??

Re: First ever single you bought??

This is a funny thing, I never bought any singles in the 70s or 80s because we didn't have a record player. All music I owned was on tape, usually recorded off the radio, or Greatest Hits bought compilations. I think the first singles I bought were cassette singles in the early 90s, so it's not gonna be too embarrassing, I do recall buying 'Das Boot' by U96 and 'Goodbye' by The Sundays, which I just taped to tape to join other tracks. I bought all The Sundays singles from 'Goodbye' onwards because I wanted the b-sides, they're the only band of whom I now own *everything* they ever recorded.

Point taken. It would only be relevant if listening to 70's, 80's or 90's music.

Perhaps we should have a thread "What are you listening to right now?". That would be interesting.

Oooh you've reminded me of Bill Nelson's "Do You Dream in Colour?" I drove my parents mad playing that over and over again cos I thought it was so good.

It was probably "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire and The Emotions.

Shortly after that, it was probably "Revolt Into Style" by Bill Nelson's Red Noise, which was on bright blue vinyl. And thus began a short-lived collection of multi-coloured records.....
