Jethro Tull’s first album - This Was. Still my favourite Tull record and one I play often. Bought it again when it came out on CD and again when the Expanded version was released.

Hi @Alle71 , My memory isn’t that good to remember the exact set list, but Google shows the same songs in a slightly different order and Rock & Roll omitted.
This was the first album I ever owned (my Mum bought it for me, Xmas 1975):
But this was the first album I bought with my own money, in November 1976:
I still own both of these.

I didn’t buy a CD player until the end of 1991, but I actually bought my first CD six years previously:
Domo Arigato by the Durutti Column (Factory Records FACT 144) was the first non-classical album to be released as a CD only (although a vinyl version was released a number of years later)…

My first album was Ride A White Swan by T. Rex on the Music For Plealsure lable. I think I must have bought it in about 1972.

Not the most “street” but does contain an excellent rendition of “The Good the Bad and the Ugly” theme

The first CD I ever bought was this. From a curious shop owned or managed (I think) by a Chinese gentlemen very close to Cambridge circus in the west end of London. You went downstairs and there were CD players where you could listen to the limited range of CDs available, and from memory it was about £15 (which seemed a fortune at the time). I had a large vinyl collection but I was keen to expand into this new exciting format. I think there was mostly classical available on CD, maybe one or two Dire Straits albums. Maybe 1983, I was still a student. Still have the CD somewhere…

I had the Bond Album and always found it best to play Live and Let Die at 45rpm
