Bought with my mother at Estover Asda in Plymouth for 99p which was five weeks pocket money at 20p a week. I was seven I think and the first track was Heartbreak Hotel. I can remember being in the music section and selecting it and Mum being surprised at my choice. An hour later I was jumping around my bedroom to All Shook Up. Magic! :luxhello:
I remember my Dad catching me in full Hugh Cornwell mode to No More Heroes. He said he thought I had mental problems :lol1:.... standing here today he may have been right ;) |

Funny how the ability to rewind was seen as a 'nice-to-have' isn't it?!!

At the time it was great, subsequent over exposure has made it the laughing stock many see it as today, but you're right ... it's basically a good pop song!

Me too and on CD.... I think that is why people got down on Come on Eileen as many saw it as them 'selling out'.... stupid expression IMO. Anyway you are right, it was and still is a great album!
PS The rest of the band didn't agree, in both cases!! |

You're an enigma ... you must be the only person to buy their first vinyl 7 years after their first CD :thumb:
Not really Chris, just when I started djing at 18, vinyl was still king till about 2005-6 when cdj's started taking over. I have a pretty good collection around 6-700 but refuse to part with them. Plus I still have my Technics 1210 mk3d hooked up to my mixer. |

|
Nobody likes a show off ;)

A 10CC single when I was four years old!
Then a Joe Walsh one. Dad was a pro bass player and so music was a part of life. Fortunately my kids also like decent (IMO) stuff - some Dubstep, Prodigy, etc. |
First single, Denis by Blondie.
First Album, Obscure Alternatives by Japan. First 12" Two Tribes by FGTH. |
Police Message in a Bottle on single vinyl.
Purchased, most likely, from a shop in off Croydon market. The singles had all come out of juke boxes, perfectly playable, usually without a proper cover sleeve. Also they were missing the middle part of the record, so the hole was about an inch wide. You needed a small piece of plastic for it to play on a normal record player. Not certain on this, but a lot of my singles were purchased like this so it's likely, and the cost of buying the single (plus little plastic converter) was so much cheaper than buying new at Woolies or Our Price, so I got a lot more music for my pocket money. |
My first album i bought with my own money was Guns N Roses Appetite for destruction,in vinyl and effing loved it.
