What was the first album you ever bought (be honest !), and the most recent?
And how about first ever single, and most recent?
Mine are;
1st album: Queen - Live Killers
Most recent album: Michael Schenker Group - The Chrysalis Years (cd re-release of their first few albums)
1st single: Motorhead - Motorhead (live)
Most recent single: Had to think about this, as it's been quite a while ! I think it was probably Twilight Home by Justin.
-
First lp was Outlandos D'amour by the Police
Last cd was The Best Of The PHANTOM ROCKERS! (by the Phantom Rockers) and
Stormtroopers Of Death's live dvd/cd Kill Yourself (I had the dvd but clocked the different packaging with a free cd! HAD to have it!) lol
First 7" was Ghost Town by THE SPECIALS
Last 7" was technically March In September flexi! Before that though er........
BRICKTOP self titled 7" on Randal Records. (Good mates of mine from Tucson, Arizona)
-
If memory serves, first single was 'Another Brick In The Wall', Pink Floyd.
As for first album... I can't remember if it was a NWOBHM compilation called AXE ATTACK or Geoff Love And His Orchestra with a cheesy album called SUPER SPACE THEMES or something...

-
Barclay James Harvest - Eyes of the universe (I know but I'm being honest here).
NMA - BDAW
-
First Single was either Ghost Town by the Specials or Golden Brown by The Stranglers
Last Single... no idea can't remember!
First Album was Parallel Lines - Blondie
Last Album was The Weight of Your Love - The Editors
-
Last Album was The Weight of Your Love - The Editors
How do you like it? It got mostly mixed reviews. Wondering whether to buy it or not.
-
It's the only Editors album I own.
I even haven't heard any of the others and I will be really honest I love it. I saw them at Glastonbury (on TV I'm too old to go there) and thought they were really good then forgot about them. Then someone on here posted a link to one of their songs and I remembered how much I'd enjoyed them so bought the CD straightaway. I love every track on the album. I haven't read any reviews on it or on any of their other albums. To me they are new and I've just discovered them although I know they go back to at least 2006.
I bought it a couple of weeks after BDAW and I so pleased to have got two albums in the space of a fortnight that are both brilliant.
-
Stranglers and Specials... Oh you guys have nothing to be shamed about... Among the first things I was into were also Dexy's Midnight Runners, Baycity Rollers & Beatles. :) A bit later I fell totally into all that metal stuff which lasted ten years. Until It was start of nineties and I found punk music.
About The Specials, they did also that Special AKA stuff. AKA released later on some digital stuff for DJ's too.

Thanks for that. I really liked 'Two Hearted Spider' in the early live version and was a bit disappointed when I heard the slowed down studio version. But I will go and check the rest of the album out. I do like them.
Here's the original version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUXtQ2qKiiA

BRICKTOP self titled 7" on Randal Records. (Good mates of mine from Tucson, Arizona)
Ah yeah, I meant to mention the March In September flexi disc. I was allowing for cd singles too though, which I've never been much of a collector of. As for 7 inch vinyl, I think the last one of those I bought was probably something like Snowy White - Peace On Earth, which came with a free Les Paul Gold Top badge ::)
-
First album...Complete rock 'n' roll (compilation double album)
Last album ...BDAW
First 7" Madness "Michael Caine" picture disc from Boots when they sold records.
Last 7" The Mob "Rise up" If you haven't checked it out, do so!! http://youtu.be/XWG729GQFPY (http://youtu.be/XWG729GQFPY)
-
1st Disco Fever. A compilation album. Presumably my Mum bought it for me, I can't even remember why I particularly wanted it now. There must have been something on it I liked I guess, or it had been advertised on TV. I think the original double LP of The War of the Worlds was quite an early one too, although I'm a bit hazy on that.
Last: A Jesca Hoop album at one of her gigs. This has reminded me that I've never played it and don't actually know where it is! I think this was before Dog and Wolf turned up in the post, but after I had ordered it online, so not sure which counts as the latest.
Singles, I can't remember.

-
1st Kiss - Dynasty or Queen - Day at the races (both on cassette as I only had a cassette player at that time, sometime around 1978/1979 (happy times; listening to radio shows trying to catch a song on tape without the radio dj talking through the intro or outro of a song, pressing the "record" (orange) and "play" buttons at the same time.
Last; Mintzkov: Sky hits ground (if you like dEUS check out this great Belgium band) and Arcade Fire: Reflektor
Singles;
1st New Order; Blue Monday (12 inch)

:)
Last single ,yep the flexi !

First record I owned was 'Breaking Glass' by Hazel O'Connor, but that was a (much wanted) Christmas prezzie rather than me spending my own money - that would be 'Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret' by Soft Cell - which I played every day without fail for over a year. No wonder my family weren't keen.
Most recent purchase 'BDAW', of course!
-
1st LP - Foreigner: Double Vision
1st Single - We don't singles in the US, but I did buy up all of Peter Gabriel's singles on CD when I ran out of albums to buy of his.
1st CD - Peter Gabriel: 3
Last LP - Neko Case: The worse things get, the harder I fight; the harder I fight, the more I love you (Also - the longest album name I think I own)
Last Single - Either NMA related or a Smoking Popes single I bought last year or so.
Last CD - Just bought a stack:
You Don't Know Me - An Eddie Arnold tribute album (which is weird because he only wrote one or two songs, tops)

Owen - L'Ami du Peuple
Divided and United - Songs of the Civil War (compilation of US Civil War songs sung by some of the greats of bluegrass and country)

-
First album (didn't buy it but did ask for it for Christmas 1975!) - All Around My Hat - Steeleye Span

-
1st Album: Kings of the Wild Frontier
Last album: Gabby Young & other animals - We're All in this together.

Well, I was a child of the 80s and a teen in the 90s... I guess the first album I bought (or got Mum&Dad to buy for me, heh) was Alanis Morrisette - Jagged Little Pill.
First single was, I think, *whispers* Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me
My tastes have, if not changed completely, somewhat broadened over the years...
The last album I bought was BDAW. The last single? Well, I haven't bought a single for years.
-
the first album I bought was the best of The Faces
I still have it and i still play it!
Great record.
I think the last album I bought was probably Slade on Stage a good three months ago - great piece of Heavy Metal madness...arrested development? nah, it's just sometimes the kid in you knows best ;)
