The first record you ever owned

[BornCaley]

this thread is the little brother of the " 5 albums that shaped yout teenage years" thread..so here goes

Single: Heart of Glass- Blondie

LP- Telekon - Gary Numan

[The Mantis]

So hard to remember - first single could have been 'Maggie May' or 'My Sweet Lord'. There was a bit of snobbery back then, people often refused to buy singles as they were too poppy.

First album was probably something by ELP. Either 'Tarkus' bought off a mate or 'Trilogy' bought new.

First single............It's all over now, by the Stones

First album............hmmnnnn, I think it was Cricklewood Green, by Ten Years After in 1970

or maybe On the Boards by Taste.

Single - Can't Buy Me Love - Beatles

Album - Wizz Jones - by Wizz Jones ( after seeing him live at a show in town)

Wizz must be one of the most under-rated musicians ever. Great guitarist and great songwriter.

[Kingsmills]

The first single I recall owning is Puff The Magic Dragon.

First album i remember claiming as my own was U2 Boy. Seem to recall having Adam And The Ants - Prince Charming album too. I would say that is my earliest memories of possesing albums. Before that, it was alwys other peoples records i would listen to.
