    Suitably embarassing.

    Although I have some proper classics, an original Blind Faith album on vinyl in gate fold sleeve, and The Rolling Stones first Album on mono vinyl spring to mind. I do have some records of shame. Both (yes both) Milli Vanilli albums on CD and a Jive Bunny 12 inch picture disc takes some beating too.

    First 7" vinyl was Rasputin - Boney M
    First CD Club Classics Vol II - Soul II Soul

    As the Now Thats albums seem to feature a lot in one form or another I do have nearly 13Gb of MP3s of the albums, probably all 78 albums :oops:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    1st single was 'Hey, Fatty Boom Boom' by Carl Malcolm as an 8 year-old in 1975.

    First album was something by the Beatles circa 1980.

    First CD was Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits circa 1985

    Haven't bought an MP3 yet, i just illegally download 'em :wink:

    First 7": You can get it if you really want - Desmond Decker
    First LP: Electric Warrior - T.Rex
    First Cassette: Scotch C90
    First CD: Brilliant Trees - David Sylvian
    First Download: In Rainbows - Radiohead


    I didn't ever buy a prerecorded cassette, the sound quality was rubbish, but I made plenty of mix tapes. I still buy CDs but have started to shift to downloads but only when I can get uncompressed and preferably 24bit files. All my CDs are now on a NAS drive and I'm wondering what to do with the now uneccessary shelves and shelves of them, they'll probably go up in the loft.
