You can't beat memories like that.

I remember my Dad catching me in full Hugh Cornwell mode to No More Heroes. He said he thought I had mental problems :lol1:.... standing here today he may have been right ;)

Yes! The newsagent within the small precinct of shops was where I bought my first copy of EVO a dozen or so years later. It was issue number two and I bought everyone subsequent edition. I managed to secure a copy of issue one back along. A year or so after I bought my first cassette we started shopping at the newly opened Tesco Roborough which was nearer home. No music section; no horseburgers, either.

I used to take the cassette out and fast forward if I wanted to repeat a favourite track. With a bit of practice one could time it within plus or minus ten seconds of the beginning.

I have 'Searching For The Young Soul Rebels' by Dexy's on vinyl and I count it amongst my very favourite records. Brilliant, brilliant album.

:lol:

:)

Ugly Kid Joe - I hate everything about you

On cassette :)

Me too and on CD.... I think that is why people got down on Come on Eileen as many saw it as them 'selling out'.... stupid expression IMO. Anyway you are right, it was and still is a great album!

I was just going to post the same because that was the first single I bought. Do you remember the double 'B' side, Thunderwing and Lady:thumb:

Album was - Genesis - Invisble Touch:D
7".. Hmmmm think it was West End Girls by The Pet Shop Boys...

Must have played my Frankie Goes To Hollywood lp till i wore he grooves out... Lol
Had poster of them on my bedroom wall for years, was'nt until years later that i realised that they were gay icons! Aaahhh the total innocence of youth! Lol:)

Top choice :thumb: One of my favourite bands, a guilty pleasure I guess.

They didn't sell out, Rowland sacked the band and got some dungaree toting bluegrass type musicians in to change the style! It worked for Weller and The Style Council!!


PS The rest of the band didn't agree, in both cases!!

Yeah, I remember it well. :thumb:

Just remembered my first LP bought with my own money, money I got for my birthday. David Bowie - Diamond Dogs. Bought mainly for Rebel Rebel & Diamond Dogs.

You must be a few years older than me, didn't think there was anyone on here older than me LOL!

Brillaint album Diamond Dogs, Bowie was/is amazing... Ziggy, Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane and the aforementoned albums were all in my colection not long after I started buying.

Still have the vinyl & still one of the best classic soul albums.

First record bought was a album David Bowie Aladin Sane circa 1973 got record tokens for christmas think it was about £3 and bought it from HMV

Changed days seems now a HMV voucher is not for christmas its for life ;)

First music I bought was 'Now Dance 95 II' on cassette, in erm, 1995 :lol1:

First CD was 'Perfect Day' in 1997

First vinyl was just after my 18th birthday in August 2002 when I started out DJ'ing on my then Numark belt drives. 'Public Domain - Operation Blade' :D

You're an enigma ... you must be the only person to buy their first vinyl 7 years after their first CD :thumb:

First single, Is this love by Bob Marley.

First Album, Blue Moods by Kenny Stevens.

First 12" Dancing in Outer Space by Atmosphere, which i still love to this day.

Rappers Delight by the Sugar Hill Gang was also bought on one of those trips.

All from Arcade Records Notts.

:lol1:

Not really Chris, just when I started djing at 18, vinyl was still king till about 2005-6 when cdj's started taking over.

I have a pretty good collection around 6-700 but refuse to part with them. Plus I still have my Technics 1210 mk3d hooked up to my mixer.

Can you remember Select-a-disc and Funky Monkey record shops in Nottingham?

Never bought/owned a vinyl.

First cassette was ATB - Killer

First CD was embarrassingly Eiffel 65 - Blue, got it from WH Smiths with a discount coupon :thumb:

Yeah both and then virgin records when it was just a small store on clumber street, and Richard Branson used to bought his first fancy car which was a massarati and we put the phone in it where i worked.

Nobody likes a show off ;)

A 10CC single when I was four years old!
Then a Joe Walsh one.

Dad was a pro bass player and so music was a part of life.

Fortunately my kids also like decent (IMO) stuff - some Dubstep, Prodigy, etc.

First single, Denis by Blondie.

First Album, Obscure Alternatives by Japan.

First 12" Two Tribes by FGTH.

Police Message in a Bottle on single vinyl.

Purchased, most likely, from a shop in off Croydon market. The singles had all come out of juke boxes, perfectly playable, usually without a proper cover sleeve. Also they were missing the middle part of the record, so the hole was about an inch wide. You needed a small piece of plastic for it to play on a normal record player. Not certain on this, but a lot of my singles were purchased like this so it's likely, and the cost of buying the single (plus little plastic converter) was so much cheaper than buying new at Woolies or Our Price, so I got a lot more music for my pocket money.

My first album i bought with my own money was Guns N Roses Appetite for destruction,in vinyl and effing loved it.

Yes, but which mix? ;)

Mine was a tape, Bon Jovi, slippery when wet

:lol: ;)
