...not at all. I must also say to my parents' credit that only a few years later (with the help of my 5 year older brother) they gave me a record player with integrated amplifier, 2 x 25W speakers and all the officially released Beatles LPs for Christmas. With the result that the Beatles are still my favourite band today

Red & Blue were released in 1973. I bought copies at the time with my Saturday job wages.

I’m sure they were banned in a couple of places around then

And he may have been right.

Mine was « Cinquième As » of the French rapper McSolaar

The first album I bought with my own money was by Alice Cooper. There was a little record shop up the street from where I grew up. I'd save my money from mowing lawns, Christmas, birthdays, etc, to buy records and 8-track tapes.

There were attempts to "ban" The Beatles in 1966 after John Lennon said they were "more popular than Jesus".

In America there were events where Beatles LPs were burned...

Mine was Teenage Rampage just after we bought a stereo system

The first single that I bought was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

Pretty sure it was Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein". I think the B side was "Free Ride".

This was my first single paid for with my own money

However, when I was very small my mother bought me "Little White Bull" by Tommy Steele...

That was the first 8 track cassette I bought to play in my car back in 1972. It is still one of my favourite albums.
