First record you bought

Strawberry Fair by Anthony Newley in 1960. I got my first record player for Christmas I was nine years old.

Sugar sugar

All or nothing by the Small Faces.

'Tammy' but I can't remember who sang it - it goes 'whiporwill, whiporwill, you and I know....Tammy, Tammy, you love him so....etc.' anyone remember it? The B side was by the Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band and it was actually my Dad who bought it because my pocket money would not stretch that far.

Jim Reeves:"Distant Drum"

Downtown by Petular Clark

Tammy was by Debbie Reynolds.
A record that I never had, but loved, was played loads of times on Family Favourites. It was Deck of Cards, by Wink Martindale. Anyone remember it?

Just remember, I was just a kid!

Raw Hide!

numberplease - thank you for that (Debbie Reynolds). I don't know why the Bonzo Dog-doodah Band was on the B side, in that case. I wonder if I've remembered that wrongly.

"Anastasia" by Pat Boone. I still have it, and still love it.

The LP of The sound of music.

FBI - the Shadows.

NotTooOld I saw Bonzo Dog at a concert at UMIST once - must have been 1968 or 69. They were amazing!

Did you jane? That must have been an experience. At the time I preferred Debbie Reynolds but I have wised up over the years!

Jailhouse Rock and Heartbreak hotel by the King. I thought the 78 would be worn through because of the number of times I played it. Still remember the words!!

I saw Peter and Gordon at a concert once
'A World Without Love' - remember that?
They were terrible, everyone walked out.

Pat Boone - yes, my friend and I loved him.
Love Letters in the Sand.

You've lost that loving feeling. The Righteous Brothers. Still love it.

First record I brought was a '78 'called 'on the street where I live' sung by Vic Damon. Does anyone remember it ?

On The Street Where You Live was from My Fair Lady - wonderful songs!

Jamjar1 I played Without You on repeat and drove my family bananas. I used to lie on my bed and sing howl along to it!

My first record player was my Grandad's old one. He gave it to me when they bought a stereogram. We didn't have a record player until then and it sat on my little dressing table completely covering the top. I thought I was the bee's knees!

WilmaK I could listen to that song so many times over.
Does anyone remember the song "In the year 2525"? It used to depress me no end, I was pre teenage and convinced we were all going to be wiped out by a nuclear bomb as I was living near two American air bases.

I remember the record JamJar, but can`t remember who recorded it. I would dearly love to get my hands on a copy of Elvis`s The American Trilogy, the whole thing, not just the one single, I seem to remember it wa in a black sleeve, with gold or silver lettering.

I'm pretty sure the first record I bought was by Ricky Nelson, but I can't for the life of me remember what the song was. I've still got all my 48s somewhere. One day, like an idiot, I decided to chuck away all the covers, which totally wrecked any value they might have had now.

Oklahoma with D'Oyley Carte singing

Debbie Reynolds "Tammy" in 1957 but it was Paul Anka's Diana that led me to fall in love with him! I was thirteen.

Ooh, yes, Sue162, Diana was another of my favourites. I didn't actually buy it, though as any money I had at that young age (not much) I spent on clothes.

Does anyone remember 'Born Too Late'? I can't remember who it was by. My DH has Radio Caroline on a lot and they often play it on there.
