Yes it has been done but it's nice to do it again! Mine was Just One Look by the Hollies
I went to see the Hollies KatyK

We saw The Hollies twice; the first time was brilliant but the second time was very disappointing

I only saw them once, not in a concert but at a dance at Trentham Gardens, a very large venue.

Walking back to Happiness - Helen Shapiro

these boots are made for walkin Nancy Sinatra approx. 1968

Didn't Helen Shapiro have a great voice, and she was so young!

To know him is to love him The Teddy Bears.
Followed by Cathy's clown

I saw Helen Shapiro with Humphrey Lyttleton in 1997 roses still a great voice!!

The first record I bought was an Anthony Newley one - but I can't remember the title.

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, in 1959, but not the original, it was a Woolworths cover version, by Paul Rich, and I`ve still got it! Didn`t even have a record player when I bought it, used to play it on my friend`s, at her house. My first LP was Elvis`s Blue Hawaii, in 1961. Hubby, my boyfriend at the time, destroyed it out of jealousy, but I got another copy, many years later.

Grand Coulee Dam, Lonnie Donegan, but can't remember the year. Got it in Woolworths.

Pst!( my first LP was Tchaikovsky's swan lake) sorry!

I used to get a new record among my Christmas presents - all 78s of course, and usually by Spike Jones and his City Slickers.

The first record I actually bought was also a 78, Weary Blues by Bunk Johnson, an old New Orleans veteran who had been rescued from obscurity by enthusiasts, given a trumpet and a set of false teeth and set to recording with a band of other old-timers.

My second purchase was Tito Gobbi singing Largo al factotum (Rossini - The Barber of Seville)

First single was Without You by Nilsson in 1972.

First album was a Top of the Pops compilation about the same year.

I used to buy jazz records feetlebaum
Bunk Johnson, Jelly Roll Morton etc

I still have a Bunk Johnson EP somewhere under the stairs, but not the Jelly Roll Morton 78

So many of these records bring back memories but I never owned them as I had no money or record player.

My first record was bought for me by a very close (male) friend and it was 'The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter' by the Incredible String Band. On the sleeve he wrote 'I'll buy you a record player when I'm rich.' Sadly we parted ways when he married (due to jealous wife) and I never saw him again. It was many years before I was able to buy a Midi- system and play it. I have now downloaded it from u-tube and I still love it. I have never heard anything like it before or since (though I am sure it is not to everyone's taste).

Loved Without You Wilma I often play the old black and white version on YouTube , what a voice Harry had.
Can't remember what I paid but my first single was All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople. Felt very grown up and sophisticated walking home with it too.

The Kinks - You really got me. (about 1964?)

I played it over and over again. Still a big Kinks fan.

Think my first personal single was It Takes Two Margin Gaye and Kim Weston, followed by Billy's Bag by Billy Preston on the Sue label.

David Cassidy, Looking through the eyes of love xx

Frankie Vaughan's Tower of Strength. I think my mum liked it, too!
