Jeeze, you must all have been rich kids! I had not a penny to pay for a 'single' or album. Instead I copied them on a tape recorder from the radio...AHA and WHAM, ( you can laugh but lots of you secretly liked them too I bet).
The first cassette album I officially owned was one of the 'Greatest Hits' given as a major xmas present which I thought was only fabulous at the time!
Can't remember what my first single was, but my Dad and older sister used to buy Abba singles, some of which I liked. We also had a "Top of the Tops" compilation record at home, which was great. It featured such classics as Lily the Pink by The Scaffold, Sugar Sugar by The Archies and others.
You obviously had a 'cool' family. The only cassette I remember my parents having was an album of Johnny Cash ( this was obviously well before the revival).
Agreed - remember holding my finger over the stop button to try and stop recording just as the song ended but before the dj started talking!! A-Ha, Duran Duran, Nik Kershaw, ah yes quality stuff.
