[Music] 1st Album you brought

[studio150]

Its a blank weekend for us, and no game until Tuesday, so what better to fill the time than another music thread

So your very first album.

Mine was

Red Rose Speedway by Paul McCartney and Wings in 1973, purchased from Boots when they were halfway along Western Road with the record department upstairs. Seem to recall it cost £2.60 due to it being a gatefold sleeve as opposed to £2,40.

My favourite track at the time was Loup (First Indian on the Moon).



I moved onto more interesting music over the following years.

First album I got given at the age of 8ish along with a small battery driven record player for Christmas was teeny boppers or some thing where children would sing chart hits. After that I got given compilations of some description. Then I got given a portable tape and radio thing and my friends would copy some of their albums for me or I would record the charts. The first Album I spent my own money on was a cassette tape copy of Invisible Touch by Genesis from Woolworths in London road. I was on a course at Brighton college and they were playing it in the canteen. I kept thinking as each song came on how I liked it, so went out and bought it.

Still love that album today. It was the first album I bought on CD, once I got one and started a life long love of the band.

'Hunky Dory' - Bowie (1972)

We were asked to bring in an album to our music lesson (Hangleton Junior - Mr. Osgood(?) ) and I made this my first purchase ever. I still have the same copy, play it, and love the slightly scuffed sleeve and the inevitable small scratches from being played on dubious 'equipment' over the decades.
It remains one of my fave albums of all time.
