Thread: the first record / cd / tape that you ever bought?

OK a bit embarrasing but I think the first vinyl I ever bought was Falco - Rock Me Amadaeus Followed shortly by a-ha - take on me!!! I was only 6yrs old! Every week when I got my £1 pocket money I used 2 buy a second hand 7" for £0.69 from the local shop! Just 2 redeem myself here I bought my 1st hardcore / jungle tune on vinyl when I was 15 in '92 - 2 bad mice - 4 bad remixes

lmao @ Falco - Rock Me Amadaeus i have 2 also confess i also own this tune on 7" , mine was bob marley, buffalo soilder would be around 1983 when i was 9 , also with my pocket money and its still in fairly good condition ,,,,, 1st rave tune was human resource dominator in 91

The first tape i bought when i was a kid was Mel & Kim's album - FLM (I think or was it Respectable ) :ymblushing:

A Madness album on tape back in 1986 I believe .

don't be embarrassed i LOVED that tune, must have been about 8 years old i thought he was the next Adam Ant!

my first vinyl was dj Seduction - Really Dark
first tapes were Top Buzz - Second Sight, 2 Blacks and a Bubble part 1 B-) although the MC brings back good memories it kind of ruins the music for me, you could never put the tape on at a party for example without someone thinking it was shit

pet shop boys its a sin..............still a classic imho!

first tape that got me into dance music was frank de wulfs early 90's ark tapes.........blew my mind at the time.....actually they still do

Can't remember the first ever, but I know the first 7" was Kim Appleby - Don't Worry & hardcore 12" was Kicksquad - What u searching for
Used to get tapes down the market b4 those though - stuff like thin ice / deep heat / megabass etc.

First Old skool tune I brought was Shut up and dance -Lambourgini on vinyl. Also brought Thriller by MJ Shammone RIP.

Stevie G

I remember now the first tape i bought was this.... hahahah

first 7 inch bought was the england world cup 1982 squad 'This Time'
First 12 inch bought Adam and the ants - Prince Charming
First rave tape bought grooverider 4 from the eclipse.

some of frank de wulf's early 90's stuff was great I love Majic Orchestra, Just Another 909 Beat & The Tape

First record I ever bought was Spitting Image - The Birdie Song whilst the first tape I think was Hits 4!! B-)

showing me age here... a beatles album ?? went to ireland on hols and my cousin got me it,dont even think it was stereo,vocals left and instruments right,could use it as instrumental now if i still had it.

snooker loopy on 7 inch
shoot me now

First i bought was Ultravox - Vienna

First music i was totally into from my parents collection was the original Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells.
Still remains a very influencial record to me to this day.

Well, I bet you will laugh at me but my first cd that I received as a birthday present was this one:

http://www.discogs.com/Die-Schl%C3%B...elease/1794850

It contained 12 covered eurodance songs with the vocals of the smurfs and re-written (quite silly) lyrics.

When I played this during my birthday party we all went nuts

Nowadays, I would never buy something like this again but at that time i was just 8 years old and didn't know what was good and what not.

I think mine was Stone Roses Fools Gold and I remember Dee Lite Groove is in the Heart following not long after

Derek B - Bullet From A Gun was my first 12"
http://www.discogs.com/Derek-B-Bullet-F ... ase/116546

First record I ever bought, at the age of about 7, was Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five - http://www.discogs.com/Grandmaster-Mell ... ease/95060
