OK.
Teaser and the fiercat-Cat Stevens....there was one slipup on my first purchase [and this is the god's honest's truth] instead of Teaser and the firecat in that album sleeve .....I got Franckie Yancovich-beer barrel polker greatest hits.
Needless to say I went back and got it sorted......[my first coustomer complaint at aged 10]
I haven't stopped since some have said. :blush:

[Aslan]

[norpus]

My first LP was Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass as a kid, for play on a mono RCA gramophone

My first 45 was Revolution by the Beatles around the same time - others liked Hey Jude but I liked the less popular flip side. Around 1968/69 I guess, so I was pretty young (had older siblings that helped fashion my love of rock, esp in the early 70's with Led Zep1, 2 etc)
http://en.wikipedia....Led_Zeppelin_II

Can't remember my first cd as that moment was nothing special

[dlite]

My first album ever was a compilation album which was given to me with my first ever cassette player XMAS 1980 - It was "Starcall - 18 original Artists" with such great hits as Moscow by Genghis Kahn, Shandi - Kiss, Little by Little - John English, Whatever you want by Status Quo and my all time fave Day Trip to Bangor by Fiddlers Dram.

The first LP was Joy Divisions Transmission much more respectable.

Unfortunately I can not remember my First CD but probably still have it.

[mr-happy-pants]

1st album 1974, Beatles Sgt Peppers
1st 7" single 1970s, Beatles (can't remember which one)

[Mike.L]

first LP Beatles - abbey Road

First CD dont remember

[Grumpy]

First 45 was a Ray Brown and the Whispers EP.
First LP I think was either the Kinks or the Beatles.
First favourite LP was Rolling Stones 'Through the past Darkly'
First CD 'Forrest Gump' soundtrack I think!
Like Norpus I had slightly older siblings, so had a constant flow of records coming into the home and the Beatles Revolution/ Hey Jude single was the first single bought from my first pay packet.
All the above is guess work; MAN!! that was a long time ago.

[Grumpy]

[Aslan]

Hey Grumpy, I suspect Mick might be the new senior cit.
Certainly qualifies for old fart status with that selection.
Mick, dont be offended..........we do revere our elders here, but they need a sense of humour.

Hey what's to offend? i achieved MOF (mouldy old fart) status years ago, doesn't mean i don't appreciate music tho!!! I just have some understanding of where it's come from - and continue to be surprised and delighted with where it goes. (And now i can afford to listen on a decent system)
Cheers
Mick

[Grumpy]

That's SO right Mick. I love the old music but also love some newer stuff.
Radiohead being a favourite of mine.

That's the old fart club that is gaining momentem .

Hey what will be the Password to the "Old fart's Club"

My suggestion is "000" just incase one of us drops off mid post. :wink:

[Aslan]

Yep Tweaky, old farts rule. I might have trouble remembering '000" with old timers desease setting in though.

[Grumpy]

My missus bought me an 8 track player- receiver- amp, speakers and instalation for my car when we were dating. We've been together now 32 years. As a bonus we received 'Davd Bowie Live' and the 'best of Gene Pitney' cartridges. The sound was great.

[Mike.L]

haha in one of my purchases last year i got 3x 8 track decks for the princley sum of $5 ... was nicely surprised when one got near $400 on fleabay



Note: from a quick scan it appears 'the beatles' was a popular first choice for the best of us

Note 2 : Its scary that you 'old farts' remeber better than some of us young -er lads

[LogicprObe]

First album was Abbey Road

Not sure of the first single.................have to think about that one.

[caddisgeek]

In order

Cassette: ACDC "TNT"
LP: Midnight Oil "Place Without a Postcard"
CD: all bought in one mail order from Au-Go-Go, Nomeansno "The Day Everything Became Nothing/Small Parts Isoloated and Destroyed" Minor Threat "Complete Discography" and the third one has slipped my memory, must be getting old, I have a dig through the CD's and see if I can work it out

[LogicprObe]

I think the first single was Smiley by Ronnie Burns.
If it wasn't that, it was The Real Thing by Russell Morris.
Either way it was a Johnny Young song.

I've never bought a pre-recorded cassette BTW.
I always considered them a waste of money when you could record your own.
A bit like MP3...........

[Vladimir Freddie]

The first music I bought was the Heebeegeebees 439 Golden Greats. It was on cassette - with a blank side which I taped stuff off of the radio.



I am so ashamed
