I got a few of these as presents. Some of them were ace.

This one is an absolute belter.. I still put it on now and again. I mean, Procul Harum "Conquistador", Lindisfarne "Lady Eleanor", Buffy st Marie "Soldier Blue", Mott "Midnight Lady", Joan Baez "The Night They Drove Old Dixy Down", Greyhound "I am what I am", Free "A Little Bit of Love", Traffic "Gimme Some Lovin" .... I mean, a great mix tape really. And a rare as hen's teeth gem, Laurie Styvers' "Beat the Reaper". I love it. One of my favourite presents from my childhood.

I've still got it knocking about at home. I was obsessed with war movie and James Bond themes when I was a little kid

Many a Sunday morning I would be able to tell who was up first.
If it was Dad it was 633 squadron, if it was Mam it was Englebert.

Although it has my name written on the top of the back of the sleeve, I suspect my dad might have encouraged me to spend my birthday money on it!

Regatta de Blanc - The Police

I think, it’s a while ago, Mott, Drive on, this was before they were called Mott the Hoople. One of the first tracks I played on guitar was apologies from side 2 - all 60 seconds of it.

Taped KLF and went back to HMV to swap it for S&P

Come on people, let's have a bit of honesty here, everyone's first album seems to be dripping in 'cool'. Let's add a bit of truth into the mix.......

Hold my beer…


I had a few that were given as presents when I was a kid. When I was around 7 or 8 I was given Queen’s first album, Brothers in Arms, and a Showaddywaddy album.

I still love the first two, Showaddywaddy… not so much!


I don’t remember exactly which album I bought first but it was between MC Hammer’s ’Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em’, Betty Boo’s ’Boomania’ and Poison’s ‘Flesh & Blood’.

That's a pretty eclectic first 3 albums

Talking heads - True stories.
Had to go to Red Rhino records in York to buy it as none of the local ones had it

I bought it local. Probably from Fearnleys.

Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman. Still love it.

Yeah, my taste was (still is, to be fair) all over the place.

My first record was C&C Music Factory’s ‘Gonna Make you Sweat’ then I bought Martika’s eponymously titled album, Pearl Jam’s ‘Ten’, Chemical Brother’s ‘Exit Planet Dust’ and RATM’s eponymously titled album.

Even as a "big kid" its sometimes put on the turntable, although I`ve also got cd`s of the Minden Band and Royal Marines. [dont get so dusty as albums]

Cloughie was amazing and I was 9 years old in 1957 when I signed up for life. My favourite uncle bought this for me and I still have it. A few months later, my family emigrated from Boro to Canada.
