first gig: Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers around 1991, really excellent....

first album(s):
bought at the same time with saved up pocket money after I got my first tape player for christmas, Led Zepp 2, Michael Jackson Bad, and Queen Night At The Opera (on cassette) not bad for an eight year old!

first CD: Ugly Kid Joe - As Ugly As They Wanna Be

first 7": I thought it was probably Shed Seven - She Left Me On Friday, but then I realised I was bought Spitting Image - The Chicken Song for a christening present by one of my sister's wacky friends

first 12": probably Bill Nelson's Red Noise - Sound On Sound
