What's the 1st Debut Album You Bought While It was Still New? *

I still love that album!

 

The clash

 

Toto
The Police
Trillion

 

The Brothers Johnson - Look Out For #1 bought in the summer of 1976

 

We did get a mixture of UK and US pressings here. I do have the self titled but I'm sure 12x5 was the first one I saw . Nevermind, it was 1964, memories fade.

 

Fun Boy Three's self titled debut.

(Does that count as a debut if all members had previously released stuff with The Specials?)

 

In 1972 I walked into a record shop and I liked what I heard. I asked the owner who is that playing? His response... a new band called The Eagles, I bought it on the spot!

Stoneage Romeos - Hoodoo Gurus

 

Decca released the debut in Oz and NZ in 1964.

 

Living Colour - Vivid.
or
Appetite for Destruction

not sure which but 12 year old me was hooked!

 

One problem with threads that continue on for a very long time. I've already posted in this thread twice. Having forgotten that, I was just about to post in it for a third time.

My answer is still the same.

Having picked up Trillion's Clear Approach album in the mid Eighties, I didn't manage to find their debut until Rock Candy reissued it a few years ago. Great band.

 

unfortunately they never got much traction

 

Never thought about this but mine was ..

Boston....

And I only bought it at 7 because after seeing (and not hearing) a copy at my cousin's house I was intrigued with the LP containing only 3 songs on one side. Every other record I had owned up to that point had at least 5 tracks on each side.

Weird how this turned out to be one of the biggest selling records of all-time. I guess millions of other people were as fascinated as I was with the LP having only 3 tracks on side 1.

 

Sadly not. Pat Leonard and Fergie did alright for themselves though, I suppose.

I remember reading that Thom Griffin allegedly released a solo record. maybe a decade ago but I've never come across it.

 

Being a big Yes fan in the early seventies and Yes was in a short of hiatus in the mid seventies.
It was the debutalbum of Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow (according to the rules set by the OP).
I bought the debutalbum of Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water earlier ( But he has only made one real solo-album in my opinion, and so it does not count according to the rules of the original poster).

 

Interesting and tough question.

I think it might have been the debut by Boston, which came out when I was 16. I had a bunch of albums by that point, but i don't think any of them were debuts purchased before there were more albums in the artist's catalog.

 

I bought several debut albums when new so hard to say what was first one. First badfinger album maybe?

 

Pavement: Slanted & Enchanted back in 1992

 

Meet the Beatles, I’m proud to say.

 

1. Mike Nesmith - The Wichita Train Whistle Sings

2. Jethro Tull - This Was

 

It was Ned's Atomic Dustbin's "God Fodder". They were on MTV. Every song sounded exactly the same to me then. They sound different to me now. I still have the cassette.

 

The Doors

 

Grace - Jeff Buckley
