What was the first album you ever bought?

Music has a very special way of triggering memories of certain moments from the past. Often it’s even easier to remember lyrics to a song from the 1960s than where you put your car keys five minutes ago! We definitely grew up with some of the best music so it’s not surprising we have such fond memories of these tracks.
