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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. ------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |

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 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". ------------- "We've got to get in to get out" |

"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. -------------  Prog Archives Tour Van

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).
