First album chosen: Tears For Fears - Songs From The Big Chair (1985 - ā€˜freeā€™ tape from Britannia Music Club, chosen when my folks couldnā€™t decide on anything that month)

First album bought: Bros - Push (1988 - on tape, with holiday money at Ingoldmells Butlins, followed very shortly after by Yazz and the Plastic Population - Wanted, and MJ - Bad, on tape, with pocket money from Woolies in Boston)

First album received: London Boys - The Twelve Commandments Of Dance (1989)

First 7" singles bought: Adamski (featuring Seal) - Killer and England New Order - World In Motion, then Betty Boo - Doinā€™ The Do (1990, from a small independent place in Spilsby)

First 12" single bought: Sunscreen - Pressure US (1993, from Boston Woolies)

First gigs/concerts: Some cajun band playing at a theatre in a nearby town (a bit Levellers-y), with my mate, which we were allowed to tag along to because his older sister was going, circa 1994. Then Oasis at Maine Road in 1996, on a package coach tour thing. Then, later that year, Beck at Manchester Academy (as sung about by Gomez in Whippin Piccadilly) excitedly driving across from Lincolnshire on a school night, trying to locate the venue without an address or a map (ā€œhow big can Manchester beā€!) then being dangerously tired on the drive back home. Good times.

First single - Natalie Imbruglia, Torn
First album - Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavoured Water (my parents had bought Spice by the Spice Girls at the request of my brothers and I previously, but that was a joint effort)

Album: maybe Dance Tip '95; amazing tracklist:

^this but it was xmas 1998 and on CD

first single i think was Closing Time by Semisonic

first gig iā€™m not sure, maybe the coral in southampton or test icicles in southampton

pretty sure there must have been something i went to before then though

the band i was in played at the joiners when i was 15, so thatā€™s a ā€˜properā€™ venue but doesnā€™t really count

Single - Swamp Thing by The Grid (mid 90s)
Album - Whatā€™s The Story (97?)
Gig - Metallica at Newcastle Arena (97?)

The mid-late 90s are all one year to me. I was at high school for all of these but canā€™t give much more context.
