I'm not sure, but I think the first one I bought was Skip Mahoney & the Casuals - Running Away From Love on Abet Records.
I believe that the first 12" I had was Double Exposure - Ten Percent, but that was given to me.
Both were 1976.

Madonna - Like A Virgin :oops: (I still prefer that mix too.)
and Prince - Purple Rain (purple vinyl, album version), bought at the same time. My plan was to buy Irene Cara - Flashdance... What A Feeling but they didn't have it anymore and I never saw it again. Took me 10 years to finally hear it. I'm very patient. 8)

Born in '63, I didn't have that much pocketmoney as a young kid so I mainly bought 7"s in the early seventies. But it all started in 1978 when I bought Supermax "Love Machine" and the second one was "Hot Shot" by Karen Young. Still love those beauties!

Mine was Instant Funks' 'I got my mind made up'.

I think the first 12" I bought was Doctor's Orders by Carol Douglas about 1975-6-7? It's been so long I can't remember exactly.
Dr. Disco is now a commercial property owner.

"TEN PERCENT" by Double Exposure from Jimmys Music World in Brooklyn. It was 2.99. High considering that Jimmys sold LPS for 3.99 and 4.99.
As the format settled they became 1.99 with some on sale for .99~!!
Those were the days :D

"Dr. Love" by First Choice was the first 12" single.
"What You Won't Do For Love" in the heart-shaped single was the first R&B single I bought -- senior moment; who did that? Still love that song.
Still Love "Dr. Love" and listen to it often to this day.

What a great single that was, with heart melting lyrics and so soulfully sung by Bobby Caldwell. Smooth sophisticated blue eyed soul at its best.

Two of my early ones were The Letter by Queen Samantha and Souvenirs by Voyage both 1978.
