Ive just fired up my Beogram 1200 after a good while of inactivity and put on an album. It just so happened to be the first album I ever bought. The Police, Reggata de Blanc. That may seem to be a cool album for a 6 year old in 1979 to buy but it was the fact that "Walking on the Moon" had space rockets in the video that made me buy it , that and imagining bouncing around the moon!
So, what was everyones first ever album purchase and do they still have it.

Ah, tough one!
As far as the first album that I actually went out and purchased myself...
I would have to guess: Blondie - Parallel Lines... I have no idea where it is!

LOL Guilty as charged ....first albums I bought were : Blondie - Parallel Lines and Pink Floyd's Dark side of the moon ..I can't remember which one of the two I bought first though ...just tooooooo long ago.
I think it was Rainbow - Difficult To Cure. And I have no idea who has it now, either... wouldn't mind to give it a spin again actually.
No idea.
Thinking back my own record collection started around 1988-89 and I got a picture somewhere where I can see 4 albums being:
Metallica Ride the lightning. Still got it
Metallica Kill'em'all. Still got it
Iron Maiden Somewhere in time. Gone
Iron Maiden Seventh son of a seventh son. Gone
I also recall a record with different rap artist on it. Still got it. It's called Free Rap.
I do recall order the Jive Bunny and the mastermixers record around the time it came out. Got a better copy these days.
My sister gave me:
Mucky pop Boy in a mans world. Still got it
Mucky pop Now. Still got it.
First one must be based on my taste for music and I got into a bit of rap style back in 1987 when the first real Danish atempt came out.
I did not hear any heavy stuff untill the fall of 1989 so the Jive Bunny or Free rap could be one of them. I still dig that Jive Bunny record. Also my very first stereo with a recordplayer built in (crap) came around 1989. My collection of records took of from there.

Bought with Christmas money - 1973.😳
edit: whoops forgot to add - gave all my vinyl to my son, I assume it's in there somewhere!
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack - and I still have it! A bit crackly now though! 1974
My B&O Icons:
I think it was Dead Kennedys 🙂
I started to think about it and it looks like the winner is:
Coctail soundtrack which came out on vinyl august 1988. I dug through the collection and found it. I properly bought it because of the song Don't worry be happy by Bobby Mcferrin. It was a bit of a hit back then. I'm not sure when I bought this record but 1988-89 is possiple.
I also found the Technotronic Pump up the jam album which came with the Free Rap combilation reocord. I think those 2 came in the same packet from a store somewhere in late 1989.
I would say that they are the runners up.
DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK (what else?)
