Lurkers' week: what's the first single you ever bought?

We bought a record player/CD and tape player 3 years ago Fran when we moved. We were going to dump our extensive vinyl collection but are really pleased we kept them all.

Substitute by Clout

First album was Standing on a Beach by The Cure

I still have both although I don’t have anything to play them on; I’ve since downloaded both the single and the album and still listen to them.

I can’t remember the first one I bought, but the first single I remember playing was Penny Lane by the beetles. I think my Mum bought it when we first got a stereogram, I was about 10, can’t remember if we had a record player before that!

David Cassidy every single and LP and still have them.

The first single I bought was one by The Sweet. I can't remember what it was called but I bought it about 1972 ish.

Bobby's Girl by Susan Maughan

It cost me 6/8d and I bought it from the record department at the Co Op.

Another long time lurker raising her head above the parapet!!!! I was about 7 or 8 and my lovely Nan bought me Mott the Hoople's Roll Away The Stone. First proper LP was Meatloaf and Bat out of Hell. I'm loving this thread as I love music.

looking at some of the titles a lot of you are really young!

I was given a record player for my 11th birthday, combined with a present for passing the 11 plus. This was 1958 and I bought 3 singles:

Apple Blossom Time by Rosemary June
The Little Drummer Boy
Slow Boat to China by Emile Ford and the Checkmates.

Next was Baby Face by Little Richard and then Are You Lonesome Tonight by Elvis

'Antmusic' by Adam & The Ants.

My first was "Where Do You Go To My Lovely" by Peter Sarstedt.

Oh wow! It was Sunshine of Your Love by Cream in round about 1968!

It was in Manor Park at the bottom end of Church Road

Itchycoo park was the Park bear my Nans we was always over there as kids

Telstar by the Tornados, wore it out.

Is was either Working in a coal mine by Lee Dorsey or Stop Stop Stop by The Hollies still love them

'Zabadac' by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich. No, really!

These boots were made for walking Nancy Sinatra. I bought it with my first ever gift of a record vouchet!

I think it was "I was made to love her" by the then Little Stevie Wonder. I still like his music.

It was Uptight Outasight by Stevie Wonder. It was the start of a life long love affair with soul music and it’s still one of my favourite songs.

Saturday night at the movies by the Drifters

Itchycoo park was a park in Dagenham/Barking where you could buy drugs. Which is why none of us understand what it's about

Itchycoo park by the Small Faces when it was re-released in 1975. I loved the song, didn't understand what it was about !

Sorry radancer! Went too quick!

Crocodile rock by Elton John and marmalade radiance! Just got my first danessette and thought I was the bees knees!
