  • First Vinyl Record ever bought.

Woolworths , East Ham. 1975. 8 years old. top 75 singles laid out like ronnie krays meat rack…

The Police - Ghost in the Machine. One of the few bands I still like that I was into as a kid. Great album cover too.

Bought two from wh Smith’s
The Boomtown Rats - I don’t like Mondays & Angelic upstarts - I’m an upstart

I’ve wondered whether it was the F-111 double-vinyl remix pack of Green Velvet ‘Flash’ with the DT remix, or the below. But I think it was probably the below:

Kismet’s records were beautiful things - super heavy vinyl, great design, deep sound.

    I actually have a cool answer for this one, original pressing of Metallica’s Master of Puppets. It goes for about 50 €, so not super expensive. I still own it. Have not played it on vinyl since 1994 when I bought the remastered CD.

    I bought Both the boomtown rats and upstarts singles..

    always loved this police track..

      Snr used to promote them.

      One of them, Daryll I think it was, is a mad keen cyclist and him and Snr used to do Box Hill together.

        My then girlfriend, now wife, was in Toronto for her practicum and brought a copy of scorchio back for me. Bought my first set of 1200s a few weeks later and played it to death with a handful of other records while I figured out how to beat match. It still reminds me of those days.

            Didn’t by any other record before you got your decks.
            My very first acid house records were Baby Ford - Oochy Koochy & Urban Acid Lp

                First album was Peter Lazonby – Your Humble Servant from a random record store in Beverly, just south of York.

                First single bought from Abbey Discs in Dublin.
