Babooshka 11-03-2004, 13:48 First single was D I S C O!!!!
Not sure what the last was though. Music is crap these days and it is ages since I bought an album. If I do buy in the near future it won't be anything from these days!
fnkysknky 11-03-2004, 14:03 First album I had bought for me was Jackson 5's Greatest Hits - can't remember what the first album I bought myself was. Never seen much point in singles - if I like a song I buy the album :)
Can't remember what the last album I bought was either - there's a pile of about 20 here that I've narrowed it down to - they're all recent and could be anyone of 'em :)
Mosherchik 11-03-2004, 14:05 First single I had bought for me was *ahem* Bomballerina and "Itsy Bitsy Teen Weeny...." argh u know the rest! :loopy: what can I say I was young...I knew not what I was doing. First single I actually bought myself was White Town and "Your Woman" before I lost 4 years of my life to boyzone *twitch* :? :? :? (was transitional period, I have left it well behind now!)
Dont tend to buy singles so much now, think last one I bought was Junior Senior and "move your feet" Im more than likely to peruse the choice available to me on WinMX and if I like individual record will go and get albumn. Last Albumn I got, Xmas pressies -Darkness - Permission to Land, Placebo - Sleeping with Ghosts and Muse - Absolution! ahhhh banging!
First single I bought was prolly "REM - Nightswimming", the last Single I bought was Stellastarr* - My Coco
The First albums were: The Lightning Seeds - Jollification/Blur - Parklife
and the last album I bought was: The Rapture - Echoes
First Album was The Bangles, it was a tape - can you still get albums on tape or have they completely died out now?
Last bought was Radiohead - Hail to the thief. Beautiful album.

REM Nightswimming was my first single. Heard it on the radio, thought it was amazing and so bought it. Well, my mom bought it me...
Last album I bought was Jakata, Visions. It's just one hour-long sample of various sections of the American Beauty score by Thomas Newman. Pretty good though.
The smurf song :banana:
erm that's the first song i bought by the way not the last! although applying logic that should have put me off buying any other records !! the things ya do when you're a nipper :roll:
Classic Rock 11-03-2004, 14:46 Cliff Richard - Rock and Roll Juvenile album on vinyl.
I was about 8 years old at the time.
first record was probly a slade one around 1973 last one judas priests greatest hits:thumbsup:
Sam Miguel 11-03-2004, 15:41 I think it was Crackling Rosie by Neil Diamond, and the last one was Sheryl Crowe - The Very Best Of.
As I recall, the first Vinyl album I bought was Mango Groove by The Piranhas..... Probably around 1979-80, please forgive me, I was only 3 or 4 back then :D
First single - Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (couldn't afford album)
First Album - I'm nearly Famous by Cliff Richard (I think, it's a long time ago)

First Single - Rhythm of the Rain by the Cascades
First Album - Please Please Me the Beatles
Last Album - Sons Of Beaches by Australian Crawl. dont buy albums now. download them from streamloader.
First single was I'm a Man, Not a Boy by North and South. How embarassing.
The single I last bought was Hey Ya by Outkast. I bought it on the day of release though. I'm not responsible for keeping it in the top 10 for weeks and weeks and weeks, and causing it to die a most horrible overplayed death.
First single: The Muppets-Mah Na Mah Na - 7" Vinyl
First Album: Guns N Roses-Appetite For Destruction
Last single/album: Really cant remember...think the last album was either "Play" by Moby or "The Contino Sessions" by Death In Vegas, and its ages since Ive bought a single.
First Album - Kylie - Kylie
First Single - Unsure - some dodgy indie thing I think
First CD - Dodgy Homegrown
Latest Single - Morrissey Last of the International Playboys
Latest Album - Clash London Calling
and
Latest (new) single was graham coxon - freakin' out
Everybody should get chuck no not aahh! - sheffield band - great tune

Um....I have that one also, and the follow up single Who do you Think you are (Tarantinos New Star)... :rolleyes: :loopy: again I was in a transitional period, I knew not what I was doing, I have put it all behind me now, altho I may still require some degree of counciling :wink:
I think I've got their 3rd single also, entitled "Breathing". It's probably their best one, all things considered and it has a quality remix for a B-side.

There's no shame in likeing Take That.
Damn I wish my first sinle was a bit cooler, like A&tA or Bo Rhap. Jonah Lewie, "Stop the Cavalry" - that's the worst on the list. Am hanging my head in shame.

First Single was Last Film by Kissing the Pink

If you put War of the Worlds on Phan FM one night, the whole album I mean, you would have my undivided attention for the whole night.... Well for the duration of the album at least :lol:

dug-a-redug and dug-a-redug redug
o debora
you look like a zebra
your sunken face is like a galleon
clawed with mysteries of the spanish maine
o debora
what was he on when he wrote that
:loopy:
Shameful! I'm so embarrassed:
It was 1981
"Making your mind up", the Eurovision winner by Bucks Fizz and
"Bermuda Triangle" by Barry "God" Manilow.
(Still love the Eurovision, was better without the Eastern Block though!)
I bought them in a record shop at the top of Fargate that's no longer there. Can't remember what it was called, either.
It was Acka Bilk (?spelling)
Stranger on the shore
and paid 4/ 6d = just over 20p in round about 1956

Bet you don't know what the words are.?
I remember at junior school everyone was singing it at the time but they just mumbled along. It's actually.
"Lip up fatty, Lip up fatty, party reggae"
I kid you not!!

Hazel
That's a great one hazel..
It's Acker Bilk I think ...
1976. From Impuse, on Cambridge Street. The Beatles. Rubber Soule. I was 19 at the time & never got in to The Albert Pub. What was that pub like?
Hi Muddy
My partner saw Acker Biilk play in a village just outside Bath, Midsomer Norton, in 1955, I suppose the year before his hit record
Hazel
Acker Bilk's "Stranger on the Shore" was 1961 and was originally called "Jenny" (after his daughter), but the name was changed when it became the theme tune for a TV series "Stranger on the shore".
As regards seeing him in Somerset, that's his part of the world.
matsalleh 25-02-2005, 12:08 You might not believe it but Acker Bilk used to be good before he made that awful record.

(Hazel yes it was acker bilk and his paramount jazzband it entered the charts in november 1961 and stayed for 55 weeks
Who was the Guy that did a version of Strangers on the shore using was it teaspoons or casstanetts, dont know how you spell that, in place of the clarinett but this version got to number 186 in the charts in 1967. I think the fellows stage name was Troubwood Burkinshawe. Any help on this would be appreciated. Apparently 1n 1967 Paul McCartney who was in a group called The Beatles heard it & he recalls that it inspired him to write the song When Ime 64
Foot Tapper by the Shadows.
No Chumpy. Thats Hank B Marvin with his twangy Fimble twatacaster. I mean those Spanish hollow peices of wood. Clasternettos
JonJParr 25-02-2005, 14:55 I'm too embarassed to say. :blush:
I can't remember exactly but one of the first was 19 by Paul Hardcastle.
Agent Gypo 25-02-2005, 15:13 First was probably Nirvana - In Utero.
The last record I bought was Polygon Window - Surfing on Sine Waves. Not a new release but a gud'un.
Luther Vandross' "The Night I Fell In Love" Album! That was my first album!!
