On CD it was Love Over Good by Dire Straits. If my memory is correct it cost a whopping £14.99. That was in 1985!

You were.
And at the dame time the quality of vinyl records was taking a nosedive, which I'm convinced was a deliberate ploy to shift us over to "perfect sound forever" with a little help from John Cleese. I resisted until 1990, by which time I decided they might actually be right.
Still kept my vinyl though, just didn't buy any more for about twenty years.
Back in 76 (I think):
Vinyl 12”
Roxy Music Siren
Elton John’s Greatest Hits Volume 2
But my first 7” was
Sex Pistols God Save The Queen
First CD was quite late and I think it was a Prefab Sprout number because I didn’t have access to a player until I met my now missus in 1986. (I bought her a discman for her birthday in 1987).
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie.
I still have it, but I bought another copy that doesn't have all the scratches, jumps and surface noise caused by playing it on the various crappy record players that were all I could afford at the time.
First single- Diamonds by Jet Harris and Tony Meehan. 1963.
First album - Shadows Greatest Hits. 1964.
