The very first vinyl single I ever bought was by David Essex, called Rock On.

What was yours?

I wish it had been a 'rock classic' of some description. But no. GlamRock at its 'glamist'.

First single was Slight Return by the Bluetones.

First album.. well, my official answer is Definitely Maybe, but it depends if you count my purchase when 8 years old of The Best of BBC TV Themes. It had Top of the Pops, Doctor Who, and the full-length EastEnders theme with the Chas'n'Dave style twiddly piano middle eight.

Yes, it was banned from airplay for a while because it was deemed to be rude!
