Something for the weekend - Firsts

There was a discussion over the Christmas break on BBC 6 Music as to what was the first record you ever bought.

And also over the same period, I stood with a tear in one eye as my 10 year old went to the counter of Fopp to purchase his first slice of music.

Not a tear of fatherly pride, more of pity, since it was a 'My Chemical Romance' CD. Have I taught him nothing ?

Anyway, seeing as it's the weekend I'll use the magic of YouTube to answer 6 Music's question.

Enjoy .....

First single - The Specials (Gangsters) b/w The Selecter (The Selecter). I had to explain to my son what this meant. "What's a single, dad ?"



Album - Yazoo (Upstairs at Erics)



Concert - The Damned (Rock City '86)
