What was the first record/cassette/CD/cassingle you bought and do you still have it?

*to a really gay article
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 16 Jan 2013, 13:41, 188 replies, latest was 12 years ago)

The first cassette I owned was Appetite for Destruction.
And yes, I still have it, although I haven't owned a cassette deck for about 10 years.

I think the first record I bought was something terrible or novelty, I'm not sure, but I would have been about 6 or 7 at the time.

I bought 'The Jimi Hendrix Album' on cassette from WH Smiths in Winchester.

I still have it, and it actually has some rare bootleg tracks on it that I've never seen elsewhere. I have a tape deck but it's not plugged in.

But the first ones I remember handing over actual cash for are Velveteen by Transvision Vamp on cassette, or Love Shack by B52s on vinyl. I still have both of them.

I'm more surprised by this, but could do with some new shirts so it may work in my favour...

The popularity of their FCUK campaign cheapened and then ruined the brand.
It's used as an example of what not to do re brands.

It's going to be total carnage this year.
Interest rates haven't been forced up yet, either.

All these Zombie companies only just managing to pay the interest on their debts should just go bankrupt.

But what about all the employees? have you no heart man?

It's not nice, but I'm more worried with "all employees"
and having shit inefficient companies like HMV with a 25% market share, it stops smaller companies from growing.

the first cd I remember buying was
