Dire Straits - Love Over Gold - was the first music I bought, but it was the album on cassette. The first record I bought was the Genesis Foxtrot album. £3 from a second hand record shop in Aldershot around 1986.

It was the only decent Dylan album that my brother didn't have.

Very embarrassing.
I won a £2 voucher at a fete. Think I was about 12 and no idea what music I liked. So I took it to the record shop and exchanged for what happened to be number 1 and number 2 at the time.
1. Goombay Dance Band - Seven Tears
2. Ebony and Ivory - Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.
Very soon afterwards I decided I was a nutty girl, and I think the first record I actually went out and chose was one of theirs. I remember I had the 'Driving in my car' picture disc - no idea what happened to it.
