Iโ€™ll never forget, 11 years old, after cleaning the gutters of a family friend, getting paid. Going to Walmart with my 20 dollars. And looking at 2 albums and left with an impossible choice. I was wavering between Mer de Noms by A Perfect Circle or this one, which I ended up going withโ€ฆ


L.D. 50 by Mudvayne

Dig was my first ever โ€œjamโ€.

If we are supposed to be talking about actual records and not albums on any other format, the first record that I remember buying was Billy Joe Royal's self-named album released in 1980, and I got it from the Amazon website in 2016.

God bless you and his family always!!!

First album iI bought was with my pocket money, aged 11 or 12. It was:


Actually (1987) by Pet Shop Boys

As for my first serious record on vinyl, aged about 17 I got a good copy of this:


Hunky Dory (1971) by David Bowie

I played it to death on the old Aiwa record player I inherited from my Parents.

Someone should do another thread of first singles!

My first 7" record was Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears For Fears. Still one of my favourite songs today.

At age 15, I got a job. Went to the stereo store in Green River, Wyoming and put an entire system on lay away. Brought it home one piece at a time...receiver, speakers, cassette deck, turntable. All good stuff. When I finally picked up the last piece, I stopped and bought this on vinyl...


Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

...hooked it all up, and spent the next 3 days buried in the music of Jeff Lynne.

Those were a pretty fine three days.


Great story romanelli. I started listening to music on my aunts all in one. Crap sound but didnโ€™t know any better back then.

My sister was obsessed with Donny & Marie.

Love the blues brothers soundtrack. We watched that film to death back in the day.

What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid (1965) by Donovan

Bought back in the late 60โ€™s. Donโ€™t ask me why I chose this as my first ever purchase. The reasoning has been lost to the sands of time. I do remember that I bought it in solihull (a smallish town on the outskirts of Birmingham) which no longer exists ( the record shop, not the town!)
