Of course it is sad it happened in my pre-teen days when I, like I suppose many posters, spent their first record token when ones granny become hip and bought record tokens instead of book tokens, on a single, it was burning a hole in your pocket.

Threads like this are more fun when being honest, lets face it the first record on bought is unlikely to have an impact on ones future career unless it happens to be Joe Dolce then its goodnight Vienna I'm sorry.

I often wish that the first single I had purchased would had been something iconic such as Stairway to Heaven, Hush, Silver Machine etc but no mine was Kung Foo Fighting

Must admit though nearly 40 years later when I hear the "Whoa Ho Oh Ho" Intro it still makes me smile.

First 'album' was Abba greatest hits on cassette- aged about 10
First proper vinyl LP was African Herbsman by Bob Marley (aged about 13), that was the start of my proper record collection.

Bought it. Took it to school, proud as punch, got the shit ripped out of me something rotten.

Fok 'em.

Still love the song and miss the man

**Anteak** · 07-08-2010, 04:38 PM

First single was Space Oddity David Bowie. (On the Philips label not RCA as everything else of his came out on). Think my first LP was one of the Motown Chartbusters volumes.
