First single Black is Black by Los Bravos. First album The Monkees. Although it was a Christmas present I think.

My first singles were all by the Monkees (aged 10 I was in love with Davy Jones). First LP was A Question of Balance by the Moody Blues

The first LP was The Beach Boys greatest hits. I think it was about 35 shillings to buy. I remember getting off the bus stop one stage earlier and walking to save the money up.

I Feel Fine by The Beatles, I bought it in the NAAFI in Berlin in 1964 aged 13.

Sibelius 5th Symphony & Karelia Suite. I think it was played by the Halle Orchestra which I'd heard perform both on a school trip to Manchester.

The first single I bought was Black Night by Deep Purple. I was a wee rocker! I can't remember the first album I bought. The first one I listened to was Alice Cooper in first year so I would have been about 12. A new friend played it at her house and I was very impressed.

I didn't like rock, but I did like that.

DH and his brother painted their bedroom walls purple!

A post this morning by Infoman, has prompted me to start this thread.
The first LP I purchased was, Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits, my first single, The most Beautiful Girl in the World, by Charlie Rich.
Working over the summer as a student in the Knorr factory, enabled me to buy my first record player.
I'm getting all nostalgic! šŸ˜‰
