First single/record you ever bought!?, by shogun on Oct 31, 2007 14:03:56 GMT 1, Greatly influenced by one of my elder brothers I purchased Public Enemy's Yo Bum Rush the Show on tape... I didn't have a record player in my bedroom and CD's were for the rich (I was a kid on a below-minimum pocket money allowance). Then I discovered the local library and to my amazement they had quite a few hip hop albums on tape and CD. This is where the pirating began  Again an 11 year old doesnt really know the laws of copyright (I used to even photocopy the tape/cd sleeves...) Cool CD I've got that one too, by the late 80's it was MC Tunes & 808 State and Beasties for me as well.
As for the British stuff it was Cash Crew, Caveman, SilverBullet, Hijack, MC Duke, RRA... Good times for British Hip Hop...

First single/record you ever bought!?, by stylus on Oct 31, 2007 14:17:30 GMT 1, Ouch!
I did the same - flogged mine on eBay for 150 quid when I was a student...
20:20 hindsight, huh? Reminds me of some of the unforunate decisions I made re: not buying prints by a certain graffiti artist, because 100 quid seemed like a lot to spend for a bit of paper. D'Oh!
Mine was the Drill EP by Radiohead. I had no idea who they were, but my older brother used to instruct me as to which indie singles were the 'right' ones to buy. Where i went to school was a chart return shop... so it used to be filled with major label tat at giveaway prices. They had a massive stack of 'Drill' CDs for 10p each. They now go for what, ยฃ200? I bought the cassette for 5p! Sold it for about ยฃ40 a couple of years ago.

Love that track, must have been the tour they did around the same time that I saw them (not quite old enough to be a proper punk  ), Dave Vanian bought his girlfriend on stage to sing smash it up, she was VERY well dressed not at all punk, so we all gobbed on her as you do and he totally threw his toys out the pram stropped off and wouldn't do an encore. Think he was still pissed off that Dr and the Medics got loads of encores, just not the done thing for a support act.

First single/record you ever bought!?, by Jef Aerosol on Oct 31, 2007 14:34:54 GMT 1, When I was 11 years old (that was in 1968), I bought the single : "Sunny Afternoon / I'm not like everybody else". This must be the first one i really "bought", before that I got some singles as presents from my parents : some French singers and also Hair (Aquarius), Zager & Evans (In the Year 2525), etc... After that first Kinks single, I bought zillions of others. My first 3 albums were : Cosmos Factory (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Dylan's greatest hits and Beatles' Let it be (this was their last album and my first by them, i bought it on the very day it was released ! )... I still have those records in my collection. Actually, I still listen to much more vinyls than CDs ( I hate Cds !) as I have more than 2000 vinyl albums and about as many singles and EPs ! For a longer list of the bands and musicians I like, have a look at my myspace page : www.myspace.com/jefaerosol
And for much more words and pics about the music I've loved for more than 40 years, read my book ! (VIP Very Important Pochoirs, jef aรฉrosol 2007, รฉditions alternatives, Paris)
jef
ps : listening to "Travellin Band" (Creedence CR) right now ! After all these years, I just can't get fed up with that music !
