I'm still embarrassed to admit it but mine was Back Home by the 1970 England World Cup squad.

Re: Record or CD
According to my grandson Thomas (1st birthday today/looks a bit like Dan Cole), my first purchased-by-myself-on-the-day-of-release record was Joseph Meyseder’s Opus 59 in G major which he first performed on Top of the Pops in 1844. I think it was part of his ‘Glam Rock’ collection. He followed it up with his version of ‘Why do my balls weigh 4 times as much in the rain?’ (a rugby classic down our way) a couple of years later. (Well – I had to bring rugby into this answer somehow!)
In reality, my first bit of vinyl was Joe Brown’s ‘Picture of You’ from 1962 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE-EFKv1qn8.

Re: Record or CD
The first I bought for myself was Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel "Come Up And See Me" but my boyfriend at that time bought me Pilot's "January" because he thought it was amusing to call me "Jan-You-Arry" ( we didn't last long!)

Re: Record or CD
The first vinyl I bought was "The Jungle Book" album from a record shop in Market Place, Loughborough, circa 1969.
I still have the album.
I have no idea what was the first CD I bought. Probably Mahler's First Symphony.

Re: Record or CD
My first vinyl was the Rolling Stones first 33 rpm album, I then went into South Wigston and bought Come On their first single. A few weeks later I saw them at the Art and Tech college at the Newark.

Re: Record or CD
Mine was when I started my apprenticeship and I went out and bought myself a music centre. (For all you youngsters out there it's a record player, tape cassette player and radio all in one!)
My first vinyl was ELO's Out of the Blue double album. Still play it although on CD now occasionally

That too was one of my first LPs and it was one of the first albums I downloaded to my iPod. It's still on there.Nailsworthstiger wrote:My first vinyl was ELO's Out of the Blue double album. Still play it although on CD now occasionally

"Jailhouse Rock" the first 78, "Diana" by Brian London, the first 45!
For the Helen Shapiro fan, I saw her headline at the Granada in Grantham. Opening act? The Beatles!

Re: Record or CD
Mine was 'She Loves You'
As far as I can recall, my first CD was Greig's Holberg Suite & Sibelius Finlandia. Mahler's 1st Symphony was not long behind it. Gray - have I found a Mahler soul mate?

There's only one thing better than driving to work along country lanes on a warm summer's evening, window down, listening to Mahler...
and that's driving home in the morning.
