The first album that I'd bought with my own money was Quo by Status Quo:
Mum and dad only had an old "Radiogram" at the time and I played it over and over until I'd saved up enough to buy my own hi-fi for my room. By that time the record was knackered from the large needle on the Radiogram and it crackled and hissed every time I played it.
Sam. You weren't playing it on 78 was you Sam ? Which makes all 33's sound like The Smurfs My Mum got me I'd like to teach the world to sing by The New Seekers, Jesus that seems so embarrassing to have that as your first lp.Think I had a crush on Lyn Paul. However I did buy Queen's first album with my pocket money so The New Seekers don't count, right lads!!! New Seekers We will let you off Ron as Queen's a good shout

I remember buying a cassette in Woolworths,99p.I'm not sure I can bring myself to put this into print......
It was 'A tribute to Cliff Richard;by J.J.Michaels'.
How bloody sad is that??!!In my defence I was no older than 10.

99p for that cassette?
They saw you coming! What a rip-off, they should have been paying you to take it away!

FFS ! A Cliff tribute ? Surely you're taking the p*** It was Barry Manilow really wasn't it, but you've sweetened the pill. Only just. Gene.

I know,I know........I obviously wasn't into music at that particular early stage of my life.I was more interested in corgi cars and playing football.I reckon if I searched well enough,the cassette in question may still well be somewhere in my folks' house,somewhere knocking about.
In my defence,I remember playing it and thinking "this is crap".

Rod Stewart - A Night on the Town or it might have been an ABBA album. Though if it has to be an album that I bought; not parents, going into the shop and spending my own hard earned money, then Mick Jagger - She's the Boss. I didn't buy records then, just taped from the radio on cassette tapes for free. On second thought, the Mick Jagger one was a cassette tape, not a record, bought at the department store I worked in as my after school casual job. I don't think I ever bought myself an album.
