Join but populate only first match

Hi, I am working on an engagement that requires me to join multiple tables, however, I wish to populate only the first match and not the entire data. For eg:

 

Tab 1 

Record ID   Name

1                 Charles

1                 Charles

1                 Charles

2                 James

2                  James

 

Tab 2 

Record ID Income

1                  200

2                  300

 

Desired Output

Record ID   Name      Income

1                 Charles     200

1                 Charles

1                 Charles

2                 James      300

2                 James

Any suggestions, please?
