No, I'm not talking about the 100 metres, or cooking the worlds biggest pie:D

What was the very first record.............or for the younger generation, CD, that you bought.

Mine was Space Oddity by Bowie.



Wonder if anyone will admit to Puppy Love by Donny Osmond:oops:

First single would have been November Rain by Guns N Roses on tape... First CD single, Therapy?- Die Laughing. First vinyl would've been, I reckon, Wrench by The Almighty.

First album... I reckon it's a Queen one, probably A Kind of Magic.

First album was a very sensible Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast .... or was it Burt Bacharach - Greatest hits?

No, it was definitely Iron Maiden ... first.

I know:oops:

But for a poor child who had grown up being abused by her mother's Elvis records and her father's yee-ha slap-your-thigh stuff, Bowie was like a doorway into a whole new world:D

My parents were horrified.................but not as much as when I started buying Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin stuff too;)
