"Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" LP, "Good Vibrations" single by the Beach Boys. In 1966 after much nagging i persuaded my Dad to buy the family a record player - we got a PAM with an autochanger, 30 guineas was a lot of money in 1966! I recently had it restored, new valves/cartridge, and the old girl is now working perfectly, including the autochanger. I love playing all my old singles on it.

The first album I ever bought was "Fresh Aire 8" by Manheim Steamroller.
I don't know how old I was, but probably a pre-teen.

First album: Venus & Mars (Wings) (1975)
The only single I've ever bought was Brain May's 'Back To The Light' CD single, because it had side 1 of the Star Fleet album on it as a bonus.

Rubber Soul by The Beatles, because it had Nowhere Man on it.
I've never bought singles; I dislike the concept.

I got The Mystery Men soundtrack in middle school (I liked the movie so I thought the music would be good too)
The only single I own is the song Frances The Mute, it came as a single for free with the album. (That song completes the story to the album)

I remember that I was given my first singles when I was about 4 or 5, there was Pat Boone with "Tutti Frutti" amongst them and something strange with the title "Kleine Schlagerparty mit Dalida" (four songs on a vinyl-single), which fortunately didn't affect my taste for music. The first single I actually bought some years later was "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies , if I'm not mistaken. The first albums (also gifts) were "Abbey Road" by The Beatles and "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath. The first I bought was "Hair - The Original Broadway Cast Recording".

First album I ever bought was Green Day's Dookie, when I was about nine.
I still quit enjoy most of it (their second-best next to American Idiot IMO),
but I didn't develop a music obsession until about seven years later.
Only single I ever bought was Coldplay's The Scientist, when my
obsession was just starting - I AM embarrassed about that one!

I had asked for Kiss "Alive II" for Christmas in 1976. That was a rocking Christmas for that little 8 year old boy who grew up to be me.
My first single I ever bought was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Refuge" in 1979. My friend and I went to the shopping mall and after buying my single we spent the rest of our money at the arcade playing "Pong" and "Space Invaders", Sadly I forgot my Tom Petty single at the arcade on one of the video game machines. Funny thing is I never re-purchased that single or ever bought Tom Petty "Damn the Torpedoes" Album, or any Tom Petty album after that.

Early sixties. I bought the album "Pipeline" by the Chantays. Still have it, too. No clue as to what my first single might have been but it possibly could have been something by Gene Pitney. I know, I'm showing my age!
