I was just watching this video interview with Anthony from HypeMachine whilst eating my lunch and the interviewer asked a really interesting question that I’d never actually thought about before. What was the first ever MP3 you downloaded?

I’ve thought about this and I can’t for the life of me think what it would have been or even when? I vividly remember the first ever tape, vinyl 12″ and CD I bought. I even remember where and when. But have no idea what my first MP3 was. Can you?

For the record here’s what they were:

TAPE: Jason Donavon ‘Ten Good Reasons’ album. Not too proud of that one. I was young, had a £10 Woolworths voucher and must have panicked.

CD: Jimi Hendrix ‘The Ultimate Experience’ album. 1993. Bought from WH Smiths to play on my first ever BUSH CD hi-fi system with turntable (£29.99 from Argos)

VINYL: Flytronix ‘Second Encounta’. Moving Shadow 1995. The start of what was to become a very large (and now dusty - sob) vinyl collection.
