Excerpt From : http://pauseandplay.com/sylvian.htm.. David Sylvian's 'FIRSTs'

THE FIRST RECORD I EVER BOUGHT: "A Beatles single, 'Ticket to Ride.' It's funny, we didn't have much music playing in the house when we were young. My parents weren't into music much, and there was no radio. There was this old wireless that my dad would attempt to repair about once a year. It would run for 24 hours and it would be out again. During that 24-hour period, I remember the Beatles singles being played. That song would come on every 15 minutes, and I was totally knocked out by that sound. The Beatles made a massive cultural impact; even living in suburban London, it trickled down to us. We were real aware of their presence and the excitement that surrounded them."

THE FIRST CONCERT I EVER WENT TO: "I think it was a David Bowie concert back in '73 at Elscourt in London. I was about 13 years old. The show was a bit of a shambles, actually, because I remember there was this massive rush to the front of the stage and the show got held up somewhat, but it was wonderfully theatrical and colorful and the music was glorious."

THE LAST CD I BOUGHT: "I don't know the last one I bought, but I saw Ryuichi (Sakamoto) in New York and he handed me a whole pile of his recent recordings that weren't released in the states. That's what I've been listening to. It's wonderful."
