I think I still have Eiffel 65 - Blue dab a dee on CD somewhere
I can't think of much worse than that.
Ha, I definitely bought this, what a tragic event! Considering only last night I was remembering that I bought Daft Punk's homework when I was 14.... obviously I was still very hit and miss trying to be cool!I can't think of much worse than that.
I remember buying "Do the Bart Man" but I was 8 so maybe that's a let off. Owning Right Said Fred on cassette and Josephs Technicolour dreamboat..... that cannot be forgiven!
Probably shared a bit too much there..... I'm much cooler now, honest!
I was about 10.
Rod Stewart with "Do you think I'm sexy" was just out.
My father was too embarrassed to go in and ask at the record shop counter for it in case he ended up having to ask the guy behind the counter whether he thought he was sexy, so parked on the road outside and sent me in with a pound note to get it for him.

Sometime in 1967 I went into a record shop and asked, "Do you have 'The Laughing Gnome' by David Bowie?"
Fortunately that day has been erased from my memory and I have no idea where or precisely when the incident took place. Can anyone top that for an embarrassing purchase?
BTW, I played it this afternoon. Probably for the first time since 1967.
Embarrassing? "Laughing Gnome" is his best song! Fortunately that day has been erased from my memory and I have no idea where or precisely when the incident took place. Can anyone top that for an embarrassing purchase?

At Christmas (you know, those 24 hours when you were allowed to meet your family) we introduced our (now left home) children to it and they thought it was mad! My first ever record purchase (I was probably about 8 at the time) was "Big Ship" by Cliff Richard - I think that easily trumps Laughing Gnome!
Recently, I've bought two ABBA CDs.
Actually, someone mentioned owning something on Cassette and I consider my most worthless purchases to be anything pre-recorded on Cassette - Sounded s
te and mostly got chewed up by something within 6 months... I sometimes hear they're coming back in yet another misguided nostalgia trip, but they really shouldn't...M

Long long time ago in some weird post-punk psychobilly phase I briefly went through - there were a bunch of us that used to meet up once a month on Saturday nights and we had to wear the WORST jumble sale clothes we could find that month and bring along the worst single we could find in a charity shop.
I remember one single called 'I'm broke, I've got no maaaneeeee' sung in weird a Bollywood style. It was awful and I bought it.

That is probably one of the worst things I have ever heard.

What was the album called? . An ex girl friend kept it when she broke up with me. In 1984. She was called Debbie King. She introduced me to the woman who is now my wife. b
h. Did it also have the grave digger on it ?
There's a little church yard just along the way...
Anyway me and the wife both brought the same Wham album into our marriage. Both given it by our exes.

I wish i had known better but at the tender age of 15 i bought Gary Glitters Rock an Roll parts 1 & 2 in 1972. 
I saw Gary Glitter live in Bournemouth in 1972, he opened with that and an awesome strobe light show.The atmosphere was electric.
One of the best gigs I've ever been too, and I've been to hundreds.

It brings back happy memories and a life long love of Bowie's early music.
