Hello Everyone
Mine was 'Once Upon a Time' by Simple Minds (an LP).

It was 1985 and I was 13, so quite old really. It was the Summer holidays.
It cost £4.50 from whichever shop was WHSmith before it became WHSmith in Stourbridge.

I've no idea why I chose it. I think that I might have thought it was cool.
I was quite young for my age then. It must have been a bit of a quiet period for my mom and dad, just before I became a bit of a parental nightmare! ?

What was your first record?

Me and my fanatical Beatles fan friends used to order the Beatles records before we'd heard them!

Heartbreak Hotel by the one and only Elvis Presley.
I was fifteen and madly in love with him! Hmm that takes me back.

Travellin' Light by Cliff. I was twelve and had just been bought a record player.

Val Doonican !
I wonder why buying our first record was important enough for us to remember?

Children of the Revolution - T-Rex, 1972. I was just about to turn 10 years old.

I said in a pp that it was probably She Loves You, but I think it was actually Telstar, released 1962. I’d dropped massive hints at Christmas, no joy ?, but bought it with birthday money a month later.

Just found it on YouTube. An instrumental classic - it reached No.1 in both the U.K. and the US charts.
I still love it! Ditto so many mentioned by others.
