    What's the First Single (CD or Cassette) you bought for yourself? First Movie (VHS, Betamax or DVD) you rented for yourself? First film you seen at the cinema?

    Gifts or other people Renting for you don't count & Downloads don't count.

    Why?

    Well, if 'Gifts' & other people Renting were allowed it be Zig & Zag and Barney vids and Postman singles.

    If 'Downloads' were allowed it be all porn.


    Single

    When I was 9 (1982) I bought Captain Sensible's Happy Talk Single on Vinyl 45.


    Album

    First Album I bought Billy Idol's Rebel Yell (1983).


    Cinema

    Was brought to see Superman in 1978. Best day ever, I was 5 :)

    Any chance of getting this thread moved back to After Hours?

    It's not a Cool Vids thread.

    People can (and are) posting what their first Singles, Albums and Cinema Experiences were without posting videos.

    Can't see why it was moved to be fair.

    First Album I bought; The Stone Roses.
    First Single; :confused:
    First Cinematic Experience; My Dad bringing me to see Cannonball Run.

    I had to sneak into town to that when we were 12.

    Great film to see at the cinema.

    Everybody goes on about Sean Connery as best Bond, for me it'll always be Roger Moore.
