Talking What was the first ever single you bought?
Ok. It's time to reveal our ages. When you were a wee nipper, what was the first single you ever bought?

I'll start - I Heard It Through The Grapevine by Marvin Gaye on Tamla Motown Records.

One of Ant & Dec's singles but the worst buy is either the Hamster dance or Aaron Carter's 'Crush on you'

I'm with Hedgehog - Bo Rap.

And, like Mart, I also have Banana Splits by the Dickies on yellow vinyl, but that was a few years later.
