@tanguatlay,
Quote:(indirect question) "Can you remember what was the first record you bought?"
Is the indirect question correct?
Yes, it is mostly correct, although you need to change the verb order
"Can you remember what the first record was that you bought?"
An indirect question is a politer form than a direct one, and starts with a phrase that signals that an implied question is following: Can you tell me... I was wondering... Do you know... I was wondering if perhaps you might be able to tell me... (extreme example!)
Also the verb/noun order is generally changed compared with a direct question:
What was the first record you bought?
Where is my hat?
What are you doing?
Can you remember what the first record was that you bought?
Can you tell me where my hat is?
Could you tell me what you are doing?
