My memory does not serve well for very first ever but I can list what was among the very first ever:

45: something too embarrassing to mention, really
album: Led Zeppelin (yes, with Stairway to Heaven)
cassette: Ultravox: Vienna
cd: Ultravox: Vienna (the first in the great "update the album back-catalogue")
music vhs: Ultravox: the Collection
music dvd: Led Zeppelin (newvox: I bet you thought I would say Depeche Mode )

see below I messed up the editing !

Very embarrassing this but probably being the oldest member here my first album was by the Glitter Band and first singles were Children Of The Revolution - T Rex, Love Train - O Jays and Killer Queen - Queen.
Can't recall ever buying many cassettes prefering vinyl.

I think (as I started buying music when I was about 4!) that my first single could have been
"Number One Song in Heaven" by Sparks.

LP was possibly "The Pleasure Principle" by Numan.

Still got them, and they still play as good as new!!

The first record I ever bought was "I Can Do It" by The Rubettes.

It was 1975 and I was 11. :rolleyes:
Didn't take me long to learn the error of my ways.

I didn't buy an album until 1978, when Kate Bush released The Kick Inside. As I've said before, it was a vulnerable age for a shy, innocent young man...

The first records were a few and presents in effect,too embrassing to mention!

When I first started buying records it was in 1981 and the first 3 LPs were in this running order :

Architecture And Morality - OMD
Visage - Visage
Vienna - Ultravox

The height of synth pop and the New Romantics!

In the spring of 1983 I bought my first John Foxx record, The Garden LP, the rest is history....
