The first single i ever bought was Madness "Our House" when i was 5 or 6.
The first album i ever bought was "1999" by Prince.

Whenever i hear "Our house" i get all nostalgic
and to this day 1999 remains one of my favourite albums.

Do you remeber any of the circumstances leading to you buying your first ever record?

My first record was Toyboy by Sinitta I remember going to Asda (or Gateway as I think it was then) in the van with my Mum and Dad, I mustve been about 4. Still have the sleeve, but not the vinyl for some reason

First album was I think something by Jason Donovan But I remember buying it, I didnt really want it, but there was nothing else in the shop I wanted and my Mum was going on at me to hurry up and I was getting all stressed! Mustve been about 6.



Um, my taste has improved, by the way!!!

As long as you don't take the lyrics too seriously:


'He's my Toyboy, Toy-boy
He's my Toyboy, toy-boy
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday night...'

my first album ever was donna summer's "on the radio".

so gay.

susannah said:

Busted!

My father - when I was growing up - used to moan incessantly about male singers who sang in falsetto. Cos obviously that means they're gay. See: Jimmy Somerville. (Okay, bad example ).

Fitting that, years later, my musical idol can shatter windows just by opening his mouth.








And, no, I don't mean Mel & bloody Kim!

susannah said:

Big dick.

Or so I hear...






But I'm sure it's his musical ability that makes you swoon.

It was one of those K-Tel records with all the current hits...it was in 1982.... and it was the precurser to the NOW series of collections. I still have it at home....

If we're talking cds, I was a late starter to all that.

(Bearing in mind that I have a father who banned a video recorder in our house for years as it would obviously bring smut and filth in)(I wish ).

But my first two cds, I got them on the same day, were:


~ Diva - Annie Lennox

~ My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts - David Byrne & Brian Eno


Bit of a weird purchase.

onenitealone said:

IM shocked at your bluntness! Im an innocent little angel remember! And I meant his face! Oh never mind, If I had to choose anyone it certainly wouldnt be Darius!

onenitealone said:

I know!

The first one that I bought with my OWN money?

I think it was "Kill Em All" by Metallica

susannah said:

Sorry. That was a bit rude.

Just messing, obviously.

I think Darius is just a bit... cheesy. Y'know? But quite sexy.

hans christian anderson soundtrack with Danny Kaye, backed with Tubby the Tuba...I was 4, and it was 1963
