In my defence this album vied with the Beatles White album, The soundtrack of the Jungle Book, and my sister’s copy of David Bowie’s Hunky Dory as most played and most revered by very young yours truly.

My only excuse is that I was still at school and didn’t know any better. It was Classical Gas by Mason Williams and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

If were getting into confessionals, '73 my first record was the above posted Beatles Collection Of Oldies, then somehow in '74 I ended up loving this (cringe)

Someone mentioned 7" singles.
My Mum used to manage a local pub and regularly used to bring home the used records from the Juke Box. Boxes full of them, sadly dont have them anymore.
Two memorable ones being Thin Lizzy (who I became a big fan of and saw live when I was older) Whiskey In The Jar
And R Dean Taylor Theres A Ghost In My House

With my own pocket money bought from Woolworths.
Primarily because it included the theme from doctor who.
But some others that gives a comfy tingle when listened to. Ron was a quality artist.

I did have a GG LP, glad I never met him!
Remember it well, the big one near the Clock Tower on the site that’s now Boots, there was a big cinema there to IIRC, then it moved further up Queens Rd past Air St to a much smaller shop
First “proper” albums. I was really into Moog sound, I had a few lps of pop covers played on Moog, which have long since gone, Abbey Road is second pressing early 1970.

In the words of Ian Dury ’ its good to be a lunatic’!! 
First single was either New Seekers - I’d like to teach the world to sing or Middle of The Road - Soley Soley.
First album Alvin Stardust - The Untouchable.
Bang goes any street cred I had!

This holds memories of some fine times in Tatsfield, Surrey. I had to buy my own copy, which I still have.

While the BBMT long player was the first album I ever owned, the first record I ever owned was this classic RAK single – with Suzi Q on bass and Chris Spedding on guitar – that I bought with my meagre pocket money in January 1974. I still have this one too.
