what was your frist Vinyl ?

do you say have it?

For most people this will equate to the existing thread on the first album you bought as a kid.

Why would I say 'have it'?

Single: Save Me ~ Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich

Album: Atom Heart Mother ~ Pink Floyd


I still have the single in a box somewhere.

The album I sold to a dealer in 1988. Have it on CD in various formats.

I presume he meant "still have it".

Single = ELO Sweet talkin Woman ( on a purple vinyl 7" ) when it came out.

Album = Wings at the Speed of Sound in 1976.

Still got them both!

Would have been sometime in the summer of 2008, I got my first record player in September that year and had already started browsing around the charity shops (which in those days were practically giving them away for about 20p each) to build a collection. Probably an old Now album.

I'd inherited a few from my parents and grandparents too, my grandma kept her player as her main source of music listening until it broke in 2003!

Single - Blockbuster by The Sweet

Album - Slayed? by Slade

Single: Breaking the Law - Judas Priest
Album: British Steel - Judas Priest

Still have them both, and still listen to them although as MP3's or on CD now.

A ten inch LP of the Glen Miller Orchestra.

Yes I still have it.

The following are the first records that I ever bought and they were actually purchased on the same day just earlier this year.

Billy Joe Royal-Billy Joe Royal Featuring Hush
Billy Joe Royal-his 1980 released self named album
Billy Joe Royal-his 1981 released self named album

God bless you and his family always!!!

First vinyl holly, I guess you are a CD girl.

Does Rock Around The Clock on 10 inch 78 rpm shellac count? Otherwise, probably Apache by The Shadows.

A synthesizer rework album of Star Wars in 1978 (it was awful ! I wanted the proper John Williams score!) and a year later, Abbas Greatest Hits Vol 2, which blew my mind and which I danced like a dervish to, in my mums lounge when no-one was around!

I didn't start buying singles until a few years later.

its just another excuse to advertise her obsession


kinks - dead end street.

I have no issue with that.

45 - Rockin' Robin - Michael Jackson
12" - And She Was - Talking Heads
LP - Jaws OST - John Williams/LSO

Still have all.

The first 45 I bought ? "Ernie the Fastest Milkman in the West"

Though the first 45 I owned was Suzi Quatro's "Devil Gate Drive" when the owner of a café fave me the record from the Juke Box which he was changing records while we were there.

See Emily Play by Pink Floyd.

I had records before that but they were bought for me or given as presents.

If the music that I want is out there on CD, then yes, that is the format that I prefer to go with.

God bless you always!!!

I grew up with CD's and Cassettes so I'm part of the Vinyl revival.

My first Vinyl was and just had to be Kate Bush- Hounds of Love. I bought it second hand, almost mint from a market and it still had the old 1985 insert where you could order merchandise etc. Still treasure it.

FIrst Album-Queen-News of the world.
First single-Squeeze-Pulling mussels from the shell.

Still have the album but not the single. These were the first i bought myself but had a big back catalogue from my older siblings.

My first vinyl was a single by Redbone called Come and Get Your Love (1974) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkr77jE5GFY

First album - Donny Osmond Alone Together https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alone_...y_Osmond_album)

Aintree Island by Pinky and Perkie in the 60s some time when I was a young child....

I remember what I bought with my first weeks wages from my first proper job when I left school in 1979.

Silly Games - Janet Kay
Babylons Burning - The Ruts
Are Friends Electric - Tubeway Army.

Ignoring the mixture of kiddies music that was bought for me.

I think the first singles I bought was Ian Dury and his Rhythm Stick number 1 hit.

Then the Tom Robinson Band with one of their early singles.

Not sure about the LPs probably some post punk - new wave band though. All my vinyl stuff is safely kept in a big record box.
