First record you bought

The first one I remember was The Yes Album. I borrowed the money from the man who became my DD's father!

Creedence Clearwater Revival's album called Cosmo's Factory.

Needed to bring records to school for a class fun day but didn't have any records. Went to the shop and asked for "a record" and was recommended Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman". Great days!

Elvis singing "I just want to be your teddy bear" and "Oklahoma." I bought a Dansette on the never never, at the same time. My father was outraged and made me take everything back. So sad!

I think the vinyl i first bought was "Love, love me do" by The Beatles.
Vinyl is becoming very popular again.
I had to take about 50 LP's in my suitcase to America, for my eldest Son.
Also i have posted numerous parts of an old record deck,from the 70s, to America.
My Son is now obsessed with buying Vinyl and Record decks and doing them up.He has quite a collection and they all look fantastic.
My Son has good taste and listens to Lou Rawls etc.

Were the Wollies cheapo records cover versions? Can't remember now but do recall the first was 'Wipe Out' - "De de DING de de da... " Found first Stones' purchase - 'It's All Over Now' - when clearing family attic, 50 years later!

Tchah. Woollies, not <sounds like gesture> Wallies!

Blue Angel by Roy Orbison.

My first record was "Move it" by Cliff Richard....second one was "High Class Baby", also by Cliff.

Bought them in A1 Stores, Walworth Road, S.E. London. I can still remember how excited I was !

When a Man Loves a Woman by Percy Sledge. Still love this song now.

Don't treat me like a child. Helen Shapiro

Stardust, Nat King Cole. My last one was I wanna know what love is. The Eagles.

Memphis Tennessee- Chuck Berry. It was also released by Dave Berry and the Cruisers but I preferred the Chuck Berry. Still know all the words to it and other songs of the 60s.
It's fun when an old song is released by a new new singer and you can astonish the DGC by singing along

Rock with the Caveman by Tommy Steele - and a boyfriend sat on it! First LP was soundtrack of King and I

Harry Belafonte - Scarlet Ribbons, probably showing my age.

I'm a Believer - The Monkees.

Garden of Eden by Frankie Vaughan

Are You Lonesome Tonight by Elvis Presley. We used to be able to go in a booth to listen to the records before we bought them. We bought them at Brian Epsteins family shop in Liverpool

Those were the days, by Mary Hopkins. Still love this song.

First purchase was 1961, "Frightened City" by the Shadows.
Adored the Shadows till fickle me discovered the Beatles.
Farmor51,"Pretty Woman" means a lot to me, spent lots of my student grant playing it on the jukebox in the caff near college.
Another meaningful record (do I feel a new thread coming on??) "Bohemian Rhapsody" was number one when daughter was born in 1975 so they are both nearly 40! Ha ha!

One of my first 78s was Diana. My parents bought me a radiogram for my birthday - it was cheaper than a record player. A massive wooden box with a lid on.

I chose Diana, an Elvis record, and three others, can't remember which.

Happy days!

Return to Sender by Elvis. Played it so much on my Dansette record player that I think I wore the needle out.
