Our house was coming down with singles (2 older sisters) id say easy 1000+, the mother fecked them all in the bin one day after cds came in. I used to like spinning them backwards on the record player.

The singles or the sisters?

Clearly remember buying INXS' 'Kick', pretty sure sure I bought stuff before that but none memorable enough to remember.

Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap - AC/DC.

4.99 in 1979. Jesus music was expensive then.

In my defence, I was ten years old.

Showing your age Billy...... this was on a 1976 TOTP repeat on BBC 4 saturday night. Guess who was no1.

I'm so fecking old I actually cannot remember the first single I bought but it may have been "Two Little Boys" by Rolf Harris

Like Billys Boots I have to play the age card here...I was seven.

By the age of 12 my taste had improved enough to make my first album purchase "The Psychomodo" by Cockney Rebel, a much under rated piece of work.

First album was a K-Tel issue called Hot Tracks from 1979. On cassette.

I was never a singles guy - I would imagine it was Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets Make it Work for Self Aid.

Nope but always had a keen interest in accounting.

I bought that album ten years later for 5.99.

I think we did this thread a few years ago - so at risk of contradicting myself due to old age:

Single: Was one of either Burning Bridges by Status Quo, or Technotronics Pump up the Jam (I'm sure a google search would tell me which one was out earlier, but feck that) - both on vinyl.

Album: Either New Kids on the Block, or The Very Best of The Eagles - both on tape
