Seeing the sun come up as Christmas in Blobbyland wafts over the speakers would be almost too beautiful for words.

I wish there had been a noughties cover, DUBSTEP DUBSTEP DUBSTEP DUBSTEP
7- elvis costello ‘oliver’s army’
LP - would have been one of those k-tel top of the pops things
vangelis ‘chariots of fire’ on 45. I just liked the melody and practised it to death on a tinny keyboard. wasn’t till years later that I got into bladerunner and the cooler stuff
psb ‘please’ cassette 85, for the singles. those first 3 albums were amazing. increasingly into electronic/melancholy pop thereafter
first thing I liked in my parents records was the jan & dean batman soundtrack… I just couldn’t get my head round them owning it 
Single XTC ‘Sgt Rock’ (top record but I think I bought it cause it had a cartoon on the cover).
Album Rush ‘Moving Signals’. Bought due to older brother playing stuff like this.
Both bought from WH Smith in Orpington. I can still picture that record dept pretty clearly.
Single : Abba - Money Money Money
Album: ELO - Discovery
ha! Just this second finished watching Predator with my lad. In the final credits a character is shown reading a comic ‘Sgt Rock’. i think to myself ‘i bet that’s where XTC got the name of that song from’, 2 minutes later read your post. i love life’s little synchronicities😀

Sngle I don’t remember but album https://www.discogs.com/Padre-Abraham-Padre-Abraham-En-El-País-De-Los-Pitufos/release/5153579?ev=rr
I always thought it was something more embarrassing like American Idiot. But I recently remembered it was the first Gorillaz album. I bought it with a Whitcolls voucher from my nan.
The first music I ever bought was on iTunes.

Happy to remove if I’ve genuinely caused offence.

First album was Kylie - Kylie on cassette for my 8th birthday. The stereo, which was one of those top loading tape / turntable / radio “music centres” chewed it up on the first play.
First single was Me & Mrs Jones by Billy Paul on 7” which I found at a car boot with my dad. This makes me miss car boot sales.

Doug E Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew - The Show. The fact my dad called Doug drove me to W.H. Smith to get it makes it all the more special.
