The Music Thread Strikes Back

Can you all remember the first vinyl album you bought? None of this CD stuff.

Our Price Records Aylesbury about 1984 I guess. Saxon - Strong arm of the Lawand AC/DC Let there be rock. £3.29 each as I remember! Bargain
 
Never bought vinyl as I am neither ancient nor a hipster who visits cornflake cafes.

I did however send away for some records when I was about 9 through a Frosties promotion. MARRS Pump Up The Volume was one of them.

Happy Nation by Ace of Base was the first album I ever bought. On tape.
 
soul mining in 1983 with an extra 12”. still great.
 
Dark Side Of The Moon, yes I know its a cliche but its still a bloody good album in my book. At that time everyone seemed to have that, Tubular Bells and Lynyrd Skynerd

And the greatest album ever made ever, if ever you're bored go on Youtube and look up The great Gig in the Sky reaction videos :)

Oh and first album, either Judas Priest Killing machine or Black Sabbaths greatest hits.

Both late 70's
 
I genuinely had Timmy Mallet & Bomballerina - Itsy Bitsy Yellow Polka Dot Bikini on 7" Vinyl...
 
first vinyl I ever bought was this:
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Out-Now/release/1136488
lengthy conversation with my dad prior, and he convinced me not to buy albums on cassette. I heeded that advice for much of my life. exceptions were rare, maidens live after death (for the extra hammy-o tracks) and slayers decade of aggression were the most notable.

Not sure on what my 1st ever non-compilation album was. I have out now 2, so that would've likely been 2nd.

I have some refreshers records, that my parents probably got hen I was a kid. Like these:

i had some shit singles

i particularly liked Racey for a while. I recall a david essex single :)
saved by the buzzcocks (sadly lost that), airport by the motors and fade to grey

what is alvin stardust doing on that collection LJ. weird.
 
My dad ran a youth club with a disco when we were growing up and he would buy every new entry into the Top 40 every week. He must have done it for about 15 years. So I never really needed to buy singles. I think he bought them with his own money, but the silly sod just passed them on to some mobile disco mate when the youth club packed up. Still not really forgiven him.

Thanks a lot mate, I'm going to have that in my head all day now !
 
I can remember a compilation called Knuckle Sandwich. Must have been very early eighties. Eclectic doesn’t cover it. First three tracks were Motörhead Rocky Sharpe and the Replays and then Ian Dury
 
How Ian McShane got to be on Grace Jones Slave to the Rhythm.

Ian McShane said:
‘I was in a chip shop with Gwen, my wife, and Trevor Horn came in, who I’d known forever. He said ‘Ian, what are you doing after supper?’
‘Why?’
‘Well, I need a voice & Orson Welles is dead.’
