Can't remember single but I think first album was Simon & Garfunkel Bridge over Troubled Water. 1970. Timeless classic!
Funny that one of our first , plus Bread Make it with You .
That's a great album....
I recall buying 'Spiral Scratch' Buzzcocks,first press,quite rare now, from a little record shop in or around Paragon Station? and the Clash first album from a record shop across the Road (don't know the street)that you went downstairs too(I lived up here at the time but we were always down visiting my gran).That Clash album was the original pressing and came with a voucher to send away for the Capitol Radio EP,I still have both and the EP is worth £2-300.
Don’t think I’ve ever bought a single, first album was chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavoured water at the grand old age of about 10.
I bought my first single (TRex) in that record shop in Driff in the Market Sq...Can't remember the name,can you?
Down stairs record shop would have to be Syd Scarboroughs.
Grinsteads.
Could listen to records in the back before deciding wether or not to buy!
I remember waiting outside for 1st delivery of Bohemian Rhapsody. 1st one to buy it! Loved early Queen (Queen 1 and 2).
Blockbuster by the Sweet ... some years later allowed my rebellious self to grab the Sex Pistols Never mind the bollox album, both of which disappeared, reckon my sister had them away and flogged em to her mates.
Oh ****, my memory's going, first single was San Francisco Scott McKenzie 1967.
One of my very best friends is David Taylor who played bass !@!@... he did tell me the story of the royalties from the record but I just cant remember what he said... they finally gave up gigging two tees ago when he got cancer...

My first album, closely followed by The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.
I went to buy the first album Queen from Stardisc in Hull...they had to order it in specially as they hadn't asked for any copies.
Pink Floyd - Brick in the wall from er ... east Yorkshire Radio and Records? Cottingham, just across from the Green.
First album was probably One Step Beyond.
First album was probably One Step Beyond.
Very embarrassing but first single was Cliff Richard Batchelor Boy bought from Woolies on Hessle Road. However first album Jethro Tull Stand Up bought at Stardisc.
It was actually called East Hull Radio and Records, which was somewhat misleading given that it was in Cottingham.
The original shop was on Holderness Road but you would have thought they'd have come up with a different name for their second shop.
I always thought it was an odd place.
The bloke who ran it in the late 70s was ancient, eccentric and if I recall correctly, rather deaf.
Trying to buy punk records off him was a frustrating experience.
