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

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.

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.

"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.

Getting old, I guess. |

My first album was "Billion Dollar Babies" by Alice Cooper when it first came out. I'm not sure what my first single was. It may have been by the Chipmunks!

My first album was definitely a Beatles album. I bascially took
ownership of all Mom's Beatles albums, and then bought whatever she was
missing, so the first one I bought was either Beatles for Sale or
Rubber Soul.
First single...hmmm. I honestly have no idea. I remember having singles
as a kid, but don't recall what any of them were. As for purchasing
records myself, if EP's count, it might have been Wall of Voodoo's
self-titled four-track with The Passenger and Ring of Fire. Otherwise,
maybe Flipper's Love Canal/Ha Ha Ha.

To date me as ancient, the first album and single I bought with my own hard earned money:
the first Hollies album
Buddy Holly/Crickets: Peggy Sue
in a special trip to London's main HMV store, and being amazed that the Buddy Holly single was still available there 5 or 6 years after it was a hit.
However, the first album and single I was given:
the first Shadows album - still listen to it - and Santo & Johnny's Sleepwalk.
And first classical: Czech Supraphon Records recording of Debussy's La Mare and Fete - after seeing Ken Russell's impressive Claude Debussy film biography on the Beeb (starring Oliver Reed).

First single was Joybringer by Manfred Mann, first album was Works Volume 2.
To gr8dane, Britain has, and if Scotland gets its way, never will have a British team. The football team you refer to is Engurland, and it was crap.

I had some Beatles albums that were given to me. When I was eight, I was allowed to pick out two albums for myself. I bought The Carpenters "The Singles," and Cheech and Chong "Los Cochinos." How's that for a contrast.

I really have no definite memory of what the first album I ever bought
was, but it might have been Rubber Soul by The Beatles. I think I was
six or something. Quite an unusual first album to buy for a kid growing
up in the '90s, being drowned in mainstream music.

I liked Reload as well! "The Unforgiven II", "Fuel", "Low Man's Lyric" and "Devil's Dance" are all great songs.
The first album I ever bought with my own money was Odyssey Number Five by Powderfinger, still one of my favourite rock albums.
