What was the first album you ever bought?

[hitony]

Aftermath Rolling stones, 1966/7.

 

[bhaexpress]

For Girls who grow plump in the night - Caravan

 

[Icy Gull]

Sweetheart of the Rodeo by the Byrds which started my love of country rock

 

[Gully]

Breakfast in America by Supertramp, think I was about 14 and it was definitely on cassette as I didn't have a record deck until I was about 20.

 

[Sir Norman Gull]

1st Album :-Tarkus - Emerson Lake & Palmer

1st Single :-Atomic Rooster - The Devil's Answer

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I think the first album I bought was Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden, from an independent record shop long since disappeared.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Probably one of K-Tel's finest out of Woolies

 

[Icy Gull]

Probably one of K-Tel's finest out of Woolies

If my memory serves me right they were all cover versions of recent hits weren't they, a sort of downmarket predecesor of Now That's What I Call Music?

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Video stars,a bit like the Now albums from the late 70s

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

They weren't cover versions, they were compilations of current pop hits of the time. EXACTLY like Now That's What I Call Music.

 

[mr sheen]

Terence trent D'arby's first effort

 

[sten_super]

Fugees - The Score

 

[bhaexpress]

1st Album :-Tarkus - Emerson Lake & Palmer

1st Single :-Atomic Rooster - The Devil's Answer

Bit of a Carl Palmer fan I see. The very first concert I went to was Atomic Rooster at the Big Apple, anybody remember that place ?

 

[Barry Izbak]

Pink Floyd's" Dark Side Of The Moon". It was 1973.

I wish mine was cool.

It was to me at the time - MUD ROCKS by MUD

 

[champion7]

Exploited " troops of tomorrow "

 

[Icy Gull]

They weren't cover versions, they were compilations of current pop hits of the time. EXACTLY like Now That's What I Call Music.

The wonders of the internet, it was EMBASSY not K-TEL. The blurb says the Beatles cover versions were good, you can have a listen for yourself but they sound pretty shit to me

The Woolworths Virtual Museum : Hits of the Sixties

 

[pasty]

:guitar::guitar:

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

Madness - Utter Madness (not really a proper album, as such)

First single, a quality gatefold thing that pen out into a stretched Morris car for Madness - Driving in My Car

 

[coventrygull]

The Clash

 

[Hiney]

Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy by The Who

The start of a long affair with the greatest rock band of them all
