Not sure Phil played guitar on the album, pretty sure guitars are created to Joe Partridge. Phil did all his vocals while on tour in Canada if I remember correctly

Wasn't Chris Spedding involved as well?

My mistake. Liner notes credit Chris Spedding & Jo Partridge.
Chris Spedding was involved in everything back then!

The first full album (cassette) I bought with my own money was Def Leppard's 'Adrenalize' which must have been early 1992? The next was Public Enemy's 'Greatest Misses', and following that Nirvana's 'Nevermind'. I guess you could say my tastes as a young fella were eclectic, but evolving!

First vinyl I bought myself was Chicago Live at Carnegie Hall 4-record set. I had gotten a gift certificate way back when, and I remember my father pitching a little fit because he wanted me to get some old fart crap that I still wouldn’t listen to to this day (Chicago was THE thing back then). I still have that set in a box somewhere - one of those sentimental things you just can’t get rid of, even though I’ll probably never own another turntable again.
My first album ever was one I received as a gift from a family friend, Spanky and Our Gang. It was so nostalgic to me that I made sure to add it to my Apple Music library. Unfortunately Chicago didn’t age quite as well, though there’s still time to chuck it in there if the mood ever strikes me.

I don’t have it anymore and I cannot be too sure (been too long ago) but I think this was my first album I purchased. Of course I was not too smart of a kid because back then I thought The Guess Who and The Who were the same band and I was puzzled that my album had the word Guess in front of the word Who!!! Eventually I figured it out.
All my first albums I played on the large console hifi system my family had in the living room with massive 12” speakers. Sounded good to me!
This LZ3 was also one of my very first albums in vinyl and I later bought it in 8 track too when I got my first car and installed a player under the dashboard.
My, the years have flown past!
I can't remember for certain which was 1st but I can remember when I had just 3 cassettes. I had Queen's Greatest Hits. Everyone and everyone's Dad has Queen's Greatest hits so I'll discard that as I probably didn't buy it myself.
The other 2, I definitely bought with saved up pocket money. I'd learned from my older step-siblings that if you liked a song you bought the 7" single and if you really liked it you bought the album. The only way I can work out which was first is by the release date of the big singles.
The 2nd tape of the 3 was Like a Virgin by Madonna. I would have bought that based on the single of the same name released October 31, 1984.
So I'm going to say that the 1st album I bought with my own money was Human Racing by Nik Kershaw based on the re-release of the single "I won't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" 4 June 1984.I would have been 9 yrs old
I continued discovering music via TOTP and the radio for a few years and buying the odd LP or cassette. I still love Simple Minds and ZZ Top.
Then one of my older brothers taped the film of "The Last Waltz" off the telly one night and my life changed.........

Siegfried/Boulez was a big first purchase! I wish I could remember mine but it wasn't Wagner, though I love his music now. Possibly a Schubert song recital by Elly Ameling.
