My first ever music purchase was a tape of the "Man of Colours" album with (supposedly) rare black cover. Brings back such memories of Iva's halting lyrical styles! "I can see...see through these tears...tears of a man...a man of .. colours".
Crikey... my first ever music purchase if I remember correctly were two 45rpm vinyl singles, "Eloise" by Barry Ryan and I also bought "Eleanor" by the Turtles. My first tape was the "Gasoline Alley" album by Rod Stewart.
I also got a copy of "The Hurdy Gurdy Man" by Donovan, but I'm pretty sure that was my mums. She used to pack the water pipe and her and dad would put on some Donovan where they'd dance and sing and get totally blithered.
