First record you bought

Born too late, was released in 1958 by the Poni-Tails.

Thank you, HMHNanna. 1958, was it? Well, I would have been.......er.......very young indeed! Probably still in nappies...................

A girl like you, by Cliff Richard....played it on my mums radiogram, as we didn't yet have a record player!

Absolutely, Not Too Old , me too. They were the proper terry nappies then, not the clutter up the bins ones that they use now!!

Sorry for losing the plot, but I just had to tell you about my first E P which was Tommy the Toreador in 1959. I still have the cover but not the record.

Blimey, I`d forgotten EPs existed! My first one was from the Elvis film, Follow that Dream.

Sibelius Fifth Symphony and Karelia Suite. I've forgotten which orchestra but I'd been to hear the Hallé playing it in Manchester. Thinks... that would have been in 1973.

1961 Bobby Vee's Rubber Ball.

Blimey bags that's a bit classy!

Yeah, well, I'm dead classy, me

bags I could have been at that concert. I went to the Halle a lot at that time.
I have an LP of Sibelius Symphony No 5, the Karelia Suite and Finlandia. Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra Eric Tuxen/ Thomas Jensen.

There was a large paperback reference book available at the time, a guide to classical LPs, a bit like a musical Good Food guide.

Les Paul and Mary Ford, ''How high the moon.'' Still love it.
