SM001 First single bought from Abbey Discs in Dublin.
Never forget me and my mate going halves on buying F.A.C.T in Tor Records, Glastonbury. We got it home and were not happy, because all we’d heard Carl Cox play was Fantazia and Dreamscape gigs. But remember hearing ‘Orange Theme’ and thinking “Thiss is something different! I like this a lot!”. Rest was history…
ScottBailey I genuinely love that track.
ScottBailey A mates older brother recorded the CD onto tape for me and I played them to death. FACT and the first Renaissance mix. Like you said the rest is history.
Dinosaur Jr.'s Fossils on clear red vinyl from Probe in Liverpool (Button St), I was 13, and already had a feeling I was going to be spending a lot of time and money in record shops.
Mainly bought for this banger:
1st vinyl = Wombling Songs by The Wombles. NOT Remember You’re a Womble. Wombling Songs was far superior. Obvs.
1st vinyl as a deck owner/ adult was the Junior Vasquez remix of Wavespeech.
ScottBailey My mate was on with Coxy in Germany and Coxy signed his copy of F.A.C.T. It’s framed in his studio.
Amps and already had a feeling I was going to be spending a lot of time and money in record shops.
Same here. I was that young lad who used to take a carrier bag of 7″ records to all the kids parties on my estate. I had of those record players where you could stack 3 or 4 records on top of each other.
I think mine was The Anfield Rap
Oh God, I think it was ELO. I don’t have it any more. It was a terrible thing to lose.
First album I bought?
The Merciless World of Trance.

The original question didn’t ask for “first respectable vinyl record ever bought”, just “first vinyl record ever bought”.
The second part of your post is redundant and a desperate attempt to save face.
You bought The Wombles. That’s it.
Dubman Tapes are a tricky one, they tend to warp easily and become unlistenable if they’re not used regularly. Nice to have the box n cover for a bit of nostalgia, but you’d need to rip them to keep the music. I backed all my Cream stuff up when I realised some of the tapes were on the fritz within a year or two of being sat still.
The Greece Soundtrack my end. Got it for my 9th birthday.
My mum used to run a pub with a jukebox so had access to untold vinyl when they got replaced - Adam and the Ants, Queen, The Specials, 10cc, Elvis Costello and Status Quo stand out in my memory.
James Bonds Greatest Hits when I was 9 or 10. All the themes tunes + a few extras up to For Your Eyes On!y. Fucking loved it.
Right Said Fred I’m Too Sexy
first single was this, it was only about 49p. From Music Market in Oxford
I think this was my first 12″
First album
One of the best guitar riffs of all time.
Glen, its a pleasure to see you posting again. My first vinyl was Enola Gay, given to me by an Auntie. I absolutely loved how it sounded and I tormented the Grandad by asking him to play it on a loop for hours.
LT42 I loved the ‘Organisation’ album. The opening track ‘The Misunderstanding’ is one of my all time favourites by any band ever. So atmospheric. So good
Dry-Tinder hell of a tune that
First I bought - Prince’s batman LP.
First bought for me - the frog chorus, 7 inch.
Bedrock - Emerald, the one with the Charlie may remix.
LT42 I have @Smallman1 style family connection klang to OMD, and was brought up on it. Great choice of a first slab.
