Johnny Carson Whit Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I never really bought singles, I always preferred to buy the full album. First one I bought was Dr Dre - The Chronic, on tape:tong: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffin Nail Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Good call Johnny, I guess we should include whole albums as well. I bought two albums with Boots record tokens (remember them???) Hedgehog Sandwich --Not the Nine O'clock News & Hunky Dory--David Bowie.....both on tape. I still have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie2008 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I really wasn't into music when I was younger, apart from a few girl bands who I had albums for such as Spice Girls and B*witched (who I still love ). The first single I can remember buying was Jenny from the Block by J-Lo in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookJumper Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 10,000 liras pocket money per week x 1 month = the first in a long series of Beatles albums. It was Rubber Soul, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Carson Whit Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I must say it is very disconcerting to read posts on this thread about people's first purchases being albums that were out when I was well into my college years. Sure sign of getting old :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppyshake Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think it may have been 'Wuthering Heights' by Kate Bush .... or 'Peaches' by The Stranglers ... I'm not sure which came first now .. it was a long, long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
