First album I got as a gift was I think a best of Oscar Peterson collection which I got at about 11 years old. First album I bought was a different best of Oscar Peterson collection lol  I was really enthralled by him in my early days of music listening.
If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

Single, Red Rubber Ball by somebody called Cyrkle. I was about 9 or 10.

Album: Strangely enough, probably something by the Ventures. Good musicians, strange music for today.

As Marktheshark said, I'm getting old. But, I've heard some great music in my life!

 If I remember correctly the first album I ever owned was "The Best of the Guess Who". I got it for Christmas when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I also had a box of 45's I think the first one was Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World"................

I joined Columbia House in 1983 when I was 14. So I actually bought five albums for a dollar (or a penny?). I can only remember three of them: Yes: 90125; Genesis: Genesis; ELO: Secret Messages. Keep in mind, I didn't even know what prog was. I went the classic rock route and eventually discovered the earlier releases of Genesis and Yes. It wasn't until the early 1990's that I discovered this type of music was called prog rock.

The first single (45 rpm) I ever bought was Pink Floyd's Money/Any Colour You Like. I wanted it so that I could here the censoring of one particular word in the song. Even though the single was released in 1973, it was still available in the mid 1980's.

My first album was "Billion Dollar Babies" by Alice Cooper. I got into that after I got a freebie disc of "Slick Black Limousine" in either NME or Melody Maker.

I don't remember what my first single was, possibly something by Slade.

First single was Louie, Louie by the Kingsman. I was 8.

Getting old, I guess.

As I recall, the first single I bought was The Beatles' 'Real Love' which came out when that whole Beatles Anthology hoo-hah was going on. Many fans don't like the 'new' songs that came out, but I rather liked it and its predecessor 'Free As A Bird' and still do.

Unbelievably the first album may well have been 'Selling England By The Pound', which I bought around 1994 when I was 6(!); I think the reason I got into Genesis was after seeing some documentary on them on TV or some such. Whatever, it set a prog precedent that's lasted about 12 years, more or less.

Come on i was only 10

My dad used to have Slade Alive on vinyl.  He saw it in the store on CD a few months ago and decided to get it for the memories.

The first album I bought, ooh, with my own money, I have no idea.  I had been given and bought a few CDs when I was younger (RHCP - Californication, Smash Mouth - Astro Lounge), but I didn't really take an interest in music until I was about 15.

The first single I bought would have to be a vinyl one (didn't ever buy a CD one).  I bought about 6 at once, 2 Alan Parsons Project ones and 4 Santana ones.  One of the Santana ones turned out to be the best $0.50 I ever spent.  It had Aqua Marine on it, an amazing, funky instrumental.

I suppose I could tell you the first LP album though, 'cause I remember that.  It was Twin Guitars in a Mood for Lovers by Los Indios Tabajaras.

I think the first album I ever bought with my own money was Metallica - ... And Justice For All and Ride the Lightning. Most of my albums my parents bought for me, hahaha.
