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

'Sugar, Sugar' by The Archies 1969. I was 10.

Was given it (minus the middle) from my uncle who had a pub. In fact I had a large collection of middle-less singles that were past their sell by date!

Fats Domino, but can’t remember which song.

First album Frank Sinatra

Poetry in Motion by Johnny Tillotson, I used to dance round the living room, happy days.

The Foundations Baby now that I've found you.

My first record was Love me Do by The Beatles.
Marydoll I had a Charlie Rich LP which had The Most Beautiful Girl in the World it was played so much I loved it,I have it now on disc and it gets the occasional outing.

The theme to Z cars

First LP "The Buddy Holly Story". Fantastic!

"Three Steps to Heaven" Eddie Cochran!

MattJo, I loved that too! My first album was also Bridge Over Troubled Water .

I had just bought a record player with my first pay packet as
student from a summer job in the Knorr factory.
I still have it in the loft somewhere. Happy memories.

The Battle of New Orleans by Lonnie Donegan - on a 78rpm record! Makes me feel very old.

The theme to Van Der Vaalk! How random is that? First album was Bridge Over Troubled Water (The Boxer is the song currently going round in my brain in wakeful moments through the night).

Mine was , The Most Beautiful in The World, by Charlie Rich.
I was a bit of a romantic!

mony mony by Tommy James and the Shondelles.
Bought with my first pocket money 6/6d in 1967.

I think I must've been a late starter and can't really remember ....but I did have Jilted John just to play "Gordon is a Moron..." over and over!

CariGransnet I still know all the words to Puppy Love, one of my first singles. I think it was Say A Little Prayer by Aretha Franklin, aged 8.

Meant to say much to my mothers disgust?

Mine was Cliff Richard EP You Must Remember this.
Soon moved on to the Rolling Stones though?

I can`t remember either but I too bought Puppy love.
And i remember the b side was rubbish I`m` pretty sure it was called Let my people go.

Blondies union city blues from Woolies, i still have it

African Waltz by John Dankworth and his orchestra.
From Woolworths, having spent months and months flipping through their counter top display hoping my parents would one day buy a record player!

I can’t remember the first one I bought. My dad had to buy a record player when I won a record in a competition. It was Everlasting Love by Love Affair.

It was ‘ Hoots Mon’ which I thought was hilarious, bought from a market stall for sixpence in about 1960.
