The first record you ever bought where and when if you can remember

We have had various lists about what we like but this is the very first record you ever bought, not a mod one if it wasn't one. Be honest and let's see what comes up.

My first record i bought for myself with my own money was ISLANDS OF DREAMS by the SPRINGFIELDS ( including Dusty ) late '62 / 63

The first record I ever bought was 'Rat Race' by The Specials, around September 1980. I also bought their first LP around the same time. I was but a plastic Mod then and thought that they were a Mod band ha ha.

I have to admit that prior to getting into the Mod scene I had not really shown any interest in buying records, now I have a fairly decent selection of great vinyls.

Mine was The Beatles' "I Feel Fine" b/w "She's A Woman" (U.S. single on Capitol Records). I bought it out of an "oldies" bin at a department store where my Mom worked in about 1969.

All Around The World by The Jam, 1977 with picture sleeve.

I was 15 at the time and can remember going into school looking like Weller and being sent home and told to come back when I had the appropriate uniform on,I thought I was as cool as f*** I even had the jam spats,great days..
