First Albums You Ever Got As A Kid
It's taken me years to find out what my first album was on cassette with 1993 dance music on. I could only remember by the order the tracks on side A came in. Yesterday though I managed to find the exact one on Discogs. Dance Adrenalin was the name. The cover had replacement on instead as I went Woolworths to get it.

My brother and me got the first 4 Beatles LPs and the first 2 Rolling Stones LPs for Christmas and Birthdays when we were about 11 or 12
When I was a bit older and buying them myself I got Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel) although I can't remember why as I didn't like them that much. Must have been a record token.......

After about a dozen cheapo MFP label albums I got on vinyl when I was around 7 to 8 years old my first purchase of a single artist chart album was 'No More Heroes' by The Stranglers. I think it cost around £3.79 and I should still have it.
I've absolutely no idea what came next but I must have had around 100 vinyl LPs by the time I was in my early teens as this was about all I spent money on apart from Marvel Comics and I'd given them up by the time I was eleven. |

My first album was Kylie Minogue's debut album Kylie which my parents bought me for Christmas 1988 along with my first ever ghetto blaster.
![]() My first compilation album I got on cassette was Now 17 in 1990. My first compilation I bought on CD was Now Dance 1994. |

Aquarium - Aqua
Spice - Spice Girls S Club - S Club 7 ABBA Gold on cassette Those were my first 'proper' albums. I had loads of tapes of children's songs before that. I felt so grown up when I got the Aqua and Spice Girls CDs as Christmas presents

'Songs From The Big Chair' by Tears For Fears back in '85.
Before that I actually sent away for an album after collecting Weetabix vouchers. There was only four tracks on it. I think The Thompson Twins were on it and Tears for Fears funnily enough. I don't really count that album though. |

Same here, I bet we're not the only kids who got that album and a record player for Christmas that year
![]() I've still got my battered old copy on vinyl somewhere. As also previously stated, Shanice's "Inner Child" of 1992 was my second, and then from 1994 I got properly onto music and pressed the go button on the deluge of singles and albums I now own... |

The first record I bought was called 'The Super Groups' (1977). I've still got it and it's in perfect condition.
Some of the tracks : Smoke on the Water -Deep Purple Itchycoo Park - Small Faces. A Whiter Shade of Pale -Procol Harum Ride a White Swan -Trex My Generation -The Who You can buy it for 50p evidently, but it's priceless to me. https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-...elease/3774958 |

If a 12 inch vinyl record in a sleeve but not necessarily with songs in the conventional sense counts as an 'album' and bought with saved piggy bank money by this 7 year old self, then for me it was 'Doctor Who Sound Effects' on the BBC Records and Tapes label.
It was bought in 1978 from the little shop at the end of the Doctor Who Exhibition during my first visit to Blackpool. I was completely enthralled by the cornucopia of electronic sounds and opened the gates for my love of electronic music. The album cover featuring the 1970s opening titles was terrific! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_So..._Sound_Effects Jeff Wayne's TWOTW and Oxygene soon followed come Christmas and birthdays. |
