First album on vinyl - Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water.
Other albums on vinyl (because CDs didn't exist at the time) would include Lindisfarne, Steely Dan and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Then when CDs became available the first one was Bop Till You Drop by Ry Cooder. (Previously available on vinyl but - and I'm sure someone will correct me if this is wrong - the first album to be digitally recorded).

Queen - Live Killers and Greatest Hits, both on tape. We were on holiday in Northamptonshire and were killing a rainy day wandering around the brand new Queensgate shopping mall in Peterborough. I remember ogling the Nakamichi Dragon tape deck in Laskey's and promising myself I'd have one one day. Thank God I never wasted 1.5k on a tape deck

The rest of the guitar work was done by Steve Jones who could play pretty well.
The album is still awesome in my opinon not for its quality so much as its historical significance....an album recorded in about 4 days on a shoestring budget by a handful of people with no real musical pedigree at a time when prog rock bands would be in the studios for months. It made you feel anyone could do it.... and that was partly what punk was all about!

Matlock was given the flick to be replaced by Vicious, because he liked the Beatles. Its a good story, untrue but good!
I'll argue with anyone that the Sex Pistols were tighter than they were given credit for.

Vicious was a figurehead for the band, and that was it. Every excuse was made to avoid him playing on any recordings. Lets be fair, the punks at the gigs would not really appreciate his bassmanship (or complete lack of it). They did, however, enjoy him spitting on them, @rsing about on stage and all of the other stupid stuff he did.

It was only Vicious who was utterly hopeless. The rest of them were pretty good. In fact PIL were one of my many favourite bands in the early 80s

Yeah, we are totally in agreement! I have disagreed with a number of friends (mostly heavy metal fans) who think they were a joke band, like the Monkees with less talent. I like the Monkees as well, btw!

Only just just spotted this thread. Another one for Bon Jovi, Slippery when wet.
Bought it on CD in 1987 from a small independent record shop called Vibes in Bury, long since gone unfortunately. Ripped it to the iPhone last year to build up my sad middle aged rock collection (Def Leppard, Whitesnake etc.).
