My brother bought me Amateur Hour by Sparks on my tenth birthday.
PrIor to that, my sister and I had gone halfers on The Laughing Gnome as my first single.
Still got them….

Great choice! On the old Island label, B side Marry Me.
Aye, that’s the feller!
An EP rather than a single

When I was 12 my then girlfriend bought me Figaro by Brotherhood of Man
The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde. Georgie Fame.
I can’t remember who bought it for me, but I still know every word of it, and occasionally find myself singing it.

The night Chicago Died ... Paper LaceNOT the first (obviously very cool) single you bought for yourself.
A friend of my parents bought me If I Had A Hammer by Trini Lopez. I still love it

A whisky at Piries in Horsham around 1989, might've been a double, can't remember.

Slightly OT, but BBC4 now, DISCO tunes 
Vodka and lime.
As for music singles, nobody has ever bought me one.
That would be weird.
First album....
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
My mum bought it for me for Christmas from Virgin Clock Tower,
It jumped so she had to go back for a replacement
That also jumped.
I asked her if...
That was the closest my mum ever came to telling me to f*** Off.

"Back Home" by the 1970 England World Cup Squad. "Cinnamon Stick" on the B-side. Thanks Mum!
I don’t think anyone’s ever bought me music, tbh. 
Apart from if I asked for something specific as a birthday/Christmas present when younger. Which seems outside the point of the thread.
And I once knew someone who worked at 4AD, who used to pass on spare promos and so on, but again probably not in keeping with the thread.
Am I the only person like this?
