Whats the first record/CD you bought ?

Robinredbreast

Oracle
Following on from the great Favourite bands/ Artist in history thread.......................

This was my first vinyl :-



Bought from Woolworths in North London ( where this group came from) I was so excited
 
Easy peasy for me is this one

And they call it - Puppy Love ...
Donny Osmond .

Them was the days ! eh
 
Good ole Woolworths miss it so much, I have wonderful memories of going upstairs to 'The record' dept,( in this town) as a teenager, and asking to listen to the new top 10's that had just came out, which I heard from the radio, radio Luxembourg or Top of the Pops. Lots of us used to go, we were SO cool then
 
Paper Roses by Marie Osmond bought in Woolworths along with 2 ounces of Pick and Mix.

I took my new single to a Brownie disco in a draughty old Scout hut and someone stole it. Tragedy
 
First single .'band of gold' by Freda Payne, 'you've got me dangling on a string' Chairman of the Board.'
'Tracks of my Tears' by Smokey Robinson.
Bought all three from Strothers.
First LP. Motown Gold. Silver cover big 'M' on it. Compilatoion of some great Northern Soul.
 

Nosher, on University Challenge the other night, 3 questions on Northern Soul vocalists and I got two right
 
To add to this I bought 'the Motown story' whilst on holiday in Berlin at an American px.
It would be worth a lot of money in its original box set.
Went missing with most of mine and the wife's record collection when we moved house.
Movers said didn't see it!!

Yeah!!
Bar stewards!!!!!!!
