We didn't have a record player, we had a reel to reel tape recorder. We used to set up the microphone and record Top of the Pops. When we did eventually catch up with everyone else and get a record player the first one I bought was "It must be love" by Labi Siffre. I still like that song.

I don't remember the first single but my first LP was 'Tommy' by The Who

Lonnie Donegan's 'Lost John' - a 78rpm. I still remember the purple Pye label!

Sealed with a kiss ( Bryan Hyland, I think.)

Yes it has been done before, but we love to reminisce!
Mine was Lonny Donegan's Battle of New Orleans on a 78rpm.

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

See Emily Play, Pink Floyd [even though I didn't have a record player].

Bits n Pieces by The Dave Clark Five

That was 1957

Apologies if this has already been done! Mine was Paul Anka's 'Diana' - 'I'm so young and you're so old ...'
