Single: I asked for 'Long Haired Lover' from Liverpool by Jimmy Osmond instead of an Easter egg - 60p. Then I saved up for 'Tiger Feet' by Mud.
Album: I bought my first albums second hand from older kids at school: 'Blue for You' (Status Quo), and 'Selling England by the Pound' (Genesis).
Actually I didn't buy 'Blue for You' exactly - I swapped it for a pair of jelly sandals - and I hadn't heard it but I had kind of slightly heard of Status Quo because I had written their logo, along with those of a lot of other bands whose music I didn't know, on my school bag. And I had lied to my cousin about having it already. Cool!
