Not sure exactly what was the first record/single I bought, was all CD's I must add by the time I started buying anything, but I think it was Perfecto All stars - Reach up (Papa's got a Brand New Pig Bag) in the 90's. Not the worst, but definitely not the best. Dance music was very much in at the time.

Your 1st 7" single was Pass the dutchie by left hand side by Musical Youth

I was given a few tapes before making a choice of my own freewill, bought a dance compilation.



Had some old skool classic dance numbers: Tony Di Bart - The Real Thing, Prodigy - No Good, Gloworm - Carry Me Home, Atlantic Ocean - Waterfall, Livin' Joy - Dreamer .

Also had some total shite - B52's - The Flintstones (Changes their name to BC52's for this track - cringe), PJ and Duncan - Let's Get Ready to Rumble (I thought this was great at the time!), Take That - The one where they pumped Lulu

I got Now 20 on tape cassette for xmas 1991,and played it time and time again.

 Was 12 when i bought my first one with pocket money which was the Altern8 single 'Active8',again on cassette.

First album i bought (again on tape cassette) was The Shamen's 'Boss Drum'.

Was really into rave music as a young teen (it was all the rage back then).

First album i bought that i REALLY properly loved however was Nirvana's 'In Utero' a couple of years later.Again it was a tape cassette purchased in the upstairs music section of John Menzies in East Kilbride.

Jo boxer boxerbeat fukin loved it

Used to spend all my money of techno music, mostly ultra sonic, my mother would go ape shit.

Before I knew what techno/rave records to buy me and a mate went into Our Price and just asked for 'rave music.' The cock behind the counter sold us Tito Puente Jr. & The Latin Rhythm - Oye Como Va. We listened to the full thing wondering when the beat would kick in. That twat must have been laughing his tits off. Still got it.

Hamilton had Impulse Records round the corner, never went back to Our Price

I never liked the Our Price in EK either.Guys who worked there were affy 'High Fidelity' ie guys in their late 20's/30's who would grimace when you brought up your naive teenage purchase.

Avalanche Records in Port Dundas Street,Glasgow.Now there was a music store.Used to work round the corner fae it and was in spending my wages often.Now sadly gone.

Incidentally my auld man hated my brief flirtation with the rave scene too.And quite rightly.

 
Used to go to 23rd precinct in glasgow bought some great 12" in there

Is Avalanche Records still open,Hammy?

I stand corrected then.

It was the one up near Bothwell Street i used to go in.I heard it closed.

To try and build my rep back up my first album was this...
