What was the first album you ever bought?

[Screaming J]

T Rex - Electric Warrior

 

[Lord Bracknell]

To give it it's proper title - I feel like I'm fixing to die RAG

The question was "What was the first album you ever bought?"

The album is called "I-FEEL-LIKE-I'M-FIXIN'-TO-DIE".

The first track on the album is "THE FISH CHEER & I-FEEL-LIKE-I'M-FIXIN'-TO-DIE-RAG".

So there.

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

The first two I owned were Thriller - Michael Jackson, and Darklands - Jesus and Mary Chain.

I think your all lying.

Mine would have been Father Abraham and the Smurfs aged 5.
Not some classic album like you lot bought FIRST, YEAH RIGHT

No, I think most people are telling the truth as to the first album they ever bought with their own money - those with the embarrassing choices have stayed schtum.

Mind you, if you're going to say what was the first album you had bought FOR you, well yes, then mine was 'The Jungle Book' by the Mike Samms Singers - it was even the original soundtrack!

First single bought for me was 'Right Said Fred' by Bernard Cribbins.

I bought and lost that as well. Those sampler albums were great. I seem to recall "Fill your head with Rock" and "The Rock machine turns you on" were CBS samplers and there was another one called " Bumpers" but I forget which label promoted it.
