Work Rest And Play EP by Madness, got it home and it was warped so had to go back to town and get it changed.

Get the feeling they are much maligned by a lot of people but I still listen to them and they were the gateway drug for me.

I’m not a huge madness fan, but as a group of musicians they are undeniably top drawer.

Think we are all adam ant fans my first album was also Prince charming 🤣

Another vote for Kings of the Wild Frontier. Won 5 quid on a fruit machine and splashed out on first album after few singles , Eton Rifles being first.

Pinky and Perky can’t remember the song 

Every record I ever had was Pinkie and Perky when played at 78rpm. Happy to point out your record may not have been Pinky and Perky at all. Simply a record played too fast.

Single.. Pato Banto.. bubbling hot.. 99p from Farnworth Asda. 

Album. Queen, a kind if magic.. £5 from woolworths in town. 

Bought millions of cds. But tbh that was my job at hmv for about 10 years 😛

Aye,  hard to believe isn't it.. that said I've been carpet cleaning for 5 years. 

 

Loved that job but it just didn't survive the changes in consumer spending habits. 

 

Gotta move with the times and they didn't.

As a kid in the 80s their music was fun 

When i got older i thought suggs was a right cunt 

Not sure why 

I think that karaoke show on channel 5 might've had something to do with it

I had a vhs tape of these pair of pricks and it had a button that you could press on the cover that played the song, pressed it once and it got stuck , I can still hear it now. 

On the same lines as Pinky and Perky, does anyone around the age 55-65 remember Tinger and Tucker? I think it may have been my first record.

‘Sup up your beer and collect your fags, there’s a row goin’ on down near Slough’

Happy days

Thought of another possible first record. Three wheels on my wagon. 
 

 

1st single - The Air That I Breathe - The Hollies. Had to buy it as it was played at every game at Burnden in my first season as a Wanderer

1st Album - The Clash

1st single - Killer Queen - Queen

1st Album - Sheer Heart Attack - Queen

Both bought from Woolworths in Farnworth and I've still got them both in a box in the loft

First 3 singles I bought.

1. Judas Priest - Take On The World

2. Elvis Costello ATA - Olivers Army

3. Sex Pistols - Friggin' In The Riggin'

1st single - Don't blame it on the sunshine by the Jackson 5.

1st album- I've an awful feeling it may have been Dollar. Can't remember the title.

Think first single was Elected - Alice Cooper . First album was Band on the run - Wings .

First dance at my wedding

First single I owned as King of the Road but think my dad just bought it as was buying the funky gibbon for my sister and didn’t want to leave me out ,  so picked something he’d listen to, similarly, I was the only 7 yr old with a Cheiftains album … 

first album  I bought with my own money was The to unforgettable fire, closely followed by anything U2 did prior to that in any format and following up to rattle and hum, which I thought was shite 

First single antmusic 

First cd Big audio dynamite

 

First single I bought was World in Motion, it was however from a car boot, so doubt it added to New Orders dominance of the charts in 1990.

First album was Nevermind, from Jackie's spin a disc in Walkden market.

 

Both on tape

 

Vinyl I played to death was brothers copy of White Lines. First CD was Queen Greatest Hits 1

 

From memory, first single - Na,na,na, na, hey, hey hey by Steam.

First album - Wilson Picketts greatest hits.

First Single -  Silver Machine ( Hawkwind)

First Album - Foxtrot ( Genesis)

First Gig - Van Der Graph Generator.
