Title: First Album You Bought?

We've had loads of 'First Single You Bought' threads, but I can't remember one for albums?

We used to spend most of Saturday alternating between Monroe Music (An independent record shop in Andover, now long gone) and the Gorge cafe (Which was 'tastefully decorated to resemble a cave inside. If caves were bright orange!) with the occasional circuit of the town centre thrown in for good measure. Happy days!

Kimono My House.

This Town aint big enough for the both of us blew me away,couldn't buy the single in Rumbelows or Kempsters(only two places you could buy them in those days i think)so i had to spend my whole weeks pocket money on the album because the song was on it,around 50p if i remember right.

Incidently Sparks were/are a great band and very under rated,but then most of the best bands are.

Other than one or two of the early 70's cover compilation albums mentioned on the singles thread it was this one.

Kimono My House posted by leefer was also an early album - a year later than this one I think.

We've had loads of 'First Single You Bought' threads, but I can't remember one for albums?

We used to spend most of Saturday alternating between Monroe Music (An independent record shop in Andover, now long gone) and the Gorge cafe (Which was 'tastefully decorated to resemble a cave inside. If caves were bright orange!) with the occasional circuit of the town centre thrown in for good measure. Happy days!

Oh the Gorge...blimey, I forgot about that place..dark and red like the inside of a volcano, used to make a cup of tea last hours when I was at college in Andover...Monroe Music??? Where was that? I remember Marvo Music/Threshold records which was opposite the Gorge in Chantry Way, Andover...
