This isn't fair on me! I'm only 30! Vinyl had given way to CDs when I bought my first album (Backstreet's Back by the Backstreet Boys, 1998).

However, my 39 year old husband remembers buying We All Stand Together by Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus on vinyl. He says he also bought the original German version of the Kraftwerk album, "Radio-activity" a few years after it was released (the same year as he was born!). From there, he moved on to Half Man Half Biscuit and Frank Zappa...
