Rudi-Robertson Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The old shops thread I started came up with a lot of old record shops. I got my first album in Ards on Junction Street and got me thinking what my first album was. For the life of me I can't remember what it was or where I got it What was your first single and album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilnunb Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The first single I can remember being mine would be the Smurf Song First album I probably paid for was the Empire Strikes Back soundtrack. First 'band' one was probably A-ha's debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigladatthebackpost Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Oh God. Ok, Green Door 7" by Shakin' Stevens and Like A Virgin by Madonna on cassette. Both presents though, so hopefully they don't count.... The first 7" I bought with my own money was One by Metallica and the first album was Misplaced Childhood by Marillion. Actually, that is probably worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_Mellon Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Can't do My First Single, because the first singles I ever owned were courtesy of a "Win The Top 10" competition run by an ice lolly company (Walls? Lyon's Maid?) in 1969. All you had to do was come up with a band name. I sent in Supercharged Auburn (I was into American classic cars of the 30s at the time) and a few weeks later the postman brought me:- Get Back Man of the World Dizzy My Way The Boxer Come Back and Shake Me Ballad of John and Yoko Oh Happy Day Tracks of My Tears Time Is Tight Not a bad top 10, although I don't think I played the Clodagh Rogers more than once. I was so impressed with my success I put in another entry later that year - can't remember the band name I submitted, but it was in line with the weird and wonderful names around at the time - Pinkerton's Assorted Colours, Frumious Bandersnatch, etc. Lo and behold, another package arrived shortly afterwards, with:- Something In The Air In the Ghetto Honky Tonk Women Give Peace A Chance It Miek Saved By The Bell Make Me An Island Baby Make It Soon That's The Way God Planned It My Cherie Amour - apart from Joe Dolan and Robin Gibb, another fine chunk of music. Sadly neither of my names were ever attached to groups, although I still feel that Supercharged Auburn could have made it big... I can do My First Album - it was The World Of John Mayall, a cheapo (a penny short of a pound, if my memory serves me well) Decca compilation I got from a antiques / junk shop at the Grange end of Marchmont Road.
