What was the first single you purchased

I feel fine by The Beatles

Cathy's Clown by the Everly Brothers.

Chewbacca: I’m sure I saw a post on Facebook yesterday saying that Susan Maughans’s birthplace in Birmingham (?) was deserving of a blue plaque and that Bobby’s Girl got to no 3 in the hit parade. I’m going to google it now.

Honeycombs, "Have I the right to hold you"

Sweets for my sweet by the Searchers - 1963

Sunday Afternoon by the Kinks. And, yes, I too know all the words to “Band of Gold”. Similarly with “Build me up Buttercup” by The Equals. Those were the days!

I'm singing all of these as I'm going through the list. 'Young Girl' is a real classic and a favourite of mine.
The only one I don't know is 'Elusive Butterfly'
The first record I bought was 'I Only Want to Be with You' by Dusty Springfield. 1964. I would have been 9 at the time.
I didn't have a record player but my brother did. It was one of those you could stack about 6 records on at a time under the arm.

Wooden Heart by Elvis. I listened to my DSis records but I really loved that song. I must have been about 13. It's very sentimental and has a verse in German. So sophisticated..
Muss i' denn, muss i' denn
zum Staedtele hinaus,
Staedtele hinaus
Und du mein Schatz, bleibst hier?

Without you by Nilsson. Still gives me goosebumps when I hear it.Great song.

Yellow Submarine, by the Beatles.

I was 10 yrs old, I bought a picture of you’ by Joe Brown and his Bruvvers! Played it on my Aunties wind up Gramophone.

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

Woolworths copy version of Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, I think the singer was called Paul Rich. Still have it in a cupboard upstairs. I didn`t even have a record player, took it to my friend`s house to play it.
When I did get a record player, aged 19, my first single I bought was Cliff Richard singing When the Girl in Your Arms is the Girl in Your Heart.

My mother and father were always buying the lastest music but the first one I bought was It might as well rain until September by Carol King.

Don’t Treat Me Like a Child. Helen Shapiro

Cliff Richard - The Young Ones

As a family it was Big Bad John.

For myself Percy Sledge. He still figures on my iPod along with Michael Ball.

Snap bluebird! My first record was also Poetry in Motion.

Black is Black by Los Bravos. I think it was 5s /11d

Puzzler we saw Brian Wilson at the Glastonbury Extravaganza about 3 years ago. He played the keyboards, but had to be helped onto stage.

David Cassidy: Could it be forever/Cherish

Elusive Butterfly by Bob Lind. Moves me to tears.

Ruby, don't take your love to town

Mine was Joe Brown and the Bruvvers - A picture of you.

Living Doll (Cliff R)

Poetry in Motion: Johnny Tillotson

Went on to follow and see at gigs all the Liverpool groups, Beatles, Merseybeats etc. also Hollies, Animals, Stones etc. Exciting times.
