The first records bought for me were the soundtrack to Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo and the 12" version of Hole In My Shoe by Neil.
First single I bought myself was (I think) Pump Up The Volume by MARRS.

Not sure which the first record wasI had a record player that had an elevated metal arm that you could stack singles onto and it'd play each in turn. The earliest ones I had in rotation were:
West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys
Rock Me Amadeus - Falco
Axel F - Harold Faltymeyer
Living Doll - Cliff Richard and The Young Ones
Alt: I bought the Pump Up The Volume soundtrack in Poundland the other day. It didn't have the best song in the film on it. Sad times
