Inspired by the other thread - what was the first single and / or album you bought? Taping off the radio doesn't count.

Mine were: (single) The Show - Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew, (album) Seven and the Ragged Tiger ( :lol: ) - Duran Duran :(

Album

 

Out of the Blue by ELO

Jeff Lynne wrote the entire album in three and a half weeks after a sudden burst of creativity whilst hidden away in his rented chalet in the Swiss Alps. It took a further two months to record in Munich. The album had 4,000,000 pre-ordered copies and quickly went multi-Platinum upon release. Out of the Blue spawned five hit singles in different countries

 

Nice thread Alex, forgotten all about ELO so going to go and have another listen. Will not be checking up on Boxer Beat :lol:

Excellent album, by ELO. My fave track ( think its on there) is Wild West Hero.

U2 - Boy, Adam & The Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier, The Police -Zenyatta Mondatta - all in 1981 iirc.

 

I also remember buying Like a Virgin too but that was a few years later.

 

I bought some Thompson Twins stuff in the same period, again no idea exactly when, probably a bit later than 81.

Single - Magic Fly by Space - 1977 I think - electronic synth intrumental - not a genre I like any more but still okay for nostalgia purposes.

 

Album - Black Sabbath - Vol 4 - off a lad at School - a great start.

Single...

 

 

:lol:

 

Blew paper round dosh on this album. A certain music show, iirc, shown on a Tuesday, BBC2 around 6ish, called 'No Limits' regularly played their music videos. One of a rare breed of bands that actually sound better 'live'.

Album: Michael Jackson's "Bad" and Europe's "The Final Countdown", if you count knock-off tapes bought on holiday in the likes of Malta/Cyprus. :lol:

 

Single: "Snooker Loopy" by Chas and Dave and the Matchroom mob (cough). I had the choice of everything in the "singles box" in Martins (now WHSmith) in the Gosforth shopping centre. It came down to a close fight between the Rockney boys and "King In A Catholic Style" by China Crisis. I'm not sure that my life would have turned out much better if I'd chosen the latter, but I'd certainly feel less guilty. :(

Single: Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting. Elton John. If you wiki it, you will see the tattoo which came on the picture sleeve. I painted the same tattoo on my haversack, and, without bullshitting, looked fuckin' mint.

 

Album: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Elton John. Brilliant album which the above single was taken from.

Single: too much too young by the specials...or it might have been another brick in the wall by pink floyd, who I can't listen to now :(

 

Album:I remember the Police's Ghost in the Machine and AC/DC's flick of the switch, or maybe something by Adam and the Ants..

 

all bought from Woolies. I miss Woolies....much better than a fuckin download :lol:
