Certainly don't remember the first single, first album was Aladdin Sane (Bowie), i still love it and play it often.

What about first concerts?

Mine is great, and no one I have ever met has been to see them although millions around the world will have done so............

Frankie Valli at Southampton Gaumont around 1972/3, BEAT THAT 

 How about  Johnny Cash at The Birmingham Theatre    1969 ish ?

My first record was AC/DC Hells Bells,,,, it was either going to be that or Shakin Stevens.... Shakey was sold out

First record was a 7" single Little Red Rooster by The Stones. First album was Inflammable Material by Stiff Little Fingers (which was not a reference to PVC consumer units) I still have the SLF album but all my singles got lost in transit except for one, Revolt into Style by Bill Nelsons Red noise on blue vinyl.

By the way, I'm not that old, the Stones single I bought n the late 70's long after it was originally released

This is great, mention of Bill Nelson and Carl Perkins....

I saw Be Bop Deluxe in Hamersmith in 1976, Bill Nelson is one of the best British Guitarists of all time and Sunburst Finish one of the greatest albums ever.

Carl Perkins Blue Suede Shoes so much better than Elvis........... in my opinion

I think we're talking about different Bill Nelsons.

I think you're right on that one MM   , Carl Perkins had a great guitar style too .  Strange that a tiny recording studio in Memphis had many of the blues singers on it's books plus  Elvis Presley , Johnny cash , Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis , Roy Orbison .

Elvis must have been the greatest pop icon of our time , a flawed individual who grabbed popular music by the throat and shook it to death .

I read a comment once that his family were "as poor as white folks can be" 

And a prime example of someone who put his "friends" on the payroll & should have dumped his manager instead of being manipulated .
