I have no idea what the first record anyone ever purchased for me but I can remember the first one I purchased. It was Adam Ant's "Prince Charming." I'm pretty sure my first record purchased for me was some novelty record like "Monster Mash."

my first record was the b52's. I got when I was seven or eight.

sadly, embarassingly ... The Captain and Tenille "love will keep us together"
d'oh! there goes all my indie/alt/punk cred right out the window ... heh heh.

what's worse is i bought it at Woolworths. and still remember to this day buying it (it was 1976 or 1977... ack!) because my mum was pissed off about me buying *anything* phonographic. but yet a few months later, we ended up buying a parody 45RPM of "In the Mood" by The Henhouse Five Plus Two.

end confession...

My first ever record I bought was in 1984 Depeche Mode's 12" remix "People Are People". I was hooked on 12" remixes ever since. And recently I have sold many cds and bought the album on vinyl because I like the sounds much better.

wow... this takes me back... lets see... What was your first record ever? well I can tell you were I bought them... I grew up down the street from the Gallery in sherman oaks... there used to be a record store in there... the same record store in a scene from the movie fast times at ridgemont high... when there in front of the store and vick damoan is showning that guy how to pick up on a chick using the cut out of blonde... ringing any bells? well yeah that store was a favorite hang out... and I can remember buying run dmc king of rock and a wall of voodoo record were the first records I ever bought (circa 1983)... talk about time travel... if I knew than what I know now I would have bought each and every piece of vinyl i could get my hands on... it's funny to see how I have changed over the years but my love for vinyl has always been there... I have quite the record collection now... I have sold many crates over the years but I still have a modest 20+ crates.... mmm vinyl :)

The first Album I ever bought was Men Without Hats. Ugh. I still have it. LOL The second one was MC Shan like 2 days later. waayyyyyy back in the day. I think I was like 11 years old. But I had tons of other albums that belonged to my older sister and parents. I inherited all of these albums and still own all of them today. None of them listen to Vinyl anymore nor do they have players.

my 1st 12" was Shannon Let the music play on Emergency label.Missed when records were under $3.99 in 1983.

Reaching back thru all the cobwebs and swiss cheese in my brain, I seem to remember David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars".

A number 1 gold hits, by Elvis, printed in Mexico, with spanish on the back. I found it at a thrift store for a buck, and even since
I didn't have a record player or ever thought about collecting records, it was so cool it got me collecting records.

As far as i can remember, it was the Disney soundtrack to "the Jungle Book".

I think it was the Doors first album. It knocked me out... I also recall a Lovin' Spoonful 45 'Summer in the City"

I',m a child of the mid eighties-She's So Unusual was my first album and I still love it to death

My first record was Michael Jackson's Thriller Album. I loved that album as a kid.
