We missed Record Store Day the other day, but it got me thinking, can you remember what the first piece of music you bought was? 

And was it on tape/CD/MP3/vinyl/8 track/wax cylinder? 

The first 12" I bought was Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus (1984)
The first 7" I bought was Sly Fox - Let's Go All The Way (1985)



So what was yours? Let us know. :)

    I didn't buy a lot of music early on because when I was growing up it was pre-iTunes but post-internet so (illegally) pirating music was "in"

    I think the first CD I purchased was probably something classical like The Planets (Holst)  :)

    haha, I have no idea what you mean @66Mustang

    I've edited it to include MP3s for all you hip youngsters. ;)

    I can't remember which of these two I bought first, but they're equally high brow classics. It was Aqua - Aquarium or Spice Girls.

    Both on cassette tape, but I went on to buy the exact same Spice Girls album on CD too :D

    First single was at the age of 12 in 1979 .. Up The Junction by Squeeze (still play them regularly)

    First album ... Parallel Lines by Blondie

    Haven't stopped since.   I can go days without watching TV but music has been my friend/release/ safe guard for so many years

    We must be of a similar vintage.  I had the Aqua tape too. :D

    Though the first tape I remember buying myself, and even the store & till I bought it from, was Shanks & Bigfoot - Sweet Like Chocolate.  :)

    Great album.  Was having strange looks walking around Home Bargains this morning, singing Ant Music.
    To remind myself I wanted Ant Powder
