What was the First Record that you Bought?

I didn't buy it, it was my Christmas gift from my parents, a record player and an LP of Elvis, just called ELVIS PRESLEY. I WAS 14. 1956

Streets of London - Ralph McTell

Laughing Gnome by David Bowie...I was about 5 and had no idea it was about drugs, and neither did my family!

I remember the first two but not in which order! They are very different:

- Let's Stay Together by Al Green
- Bend Me Shape me by Amen Corner

Catch the Wind, loved Donovan, still do!

I ordered 'The Sounds of Silence' Simon and Garfunkle from a record shop in Mexborough S. Yorkshire- formerly West Riding. I had heard them on my Perdio radio on pirate radio in my bedroom. I got that radio for passing my 11+!

Love grows where my Rosemary goes by Edison Lighthouse
I can’t remember the year I think it was around 1969

Take 5 by Dave Brubeck. My offbeat musical taste was already showing at 12.

Snake in the Grass by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch

My Guy by Mary Wells.... and all these years later, I still love it !

Cathy’s Clown

Ride A White Swan by T-rex

The first record I bought was from Sandie Shaw puppet on a String I was 13 !

Bad Penny Blues, Humphrey Lyttleton.
Aep I went to see Guy Mitchell in Manchester when I was about 13. With a friend we stood outside the stage door hoping for a word or autograph. He swept through all those waiting with a busty blonde on his arm and drove off. She was the then-current Katy Price and was called Sabrina or Sabina. However I loved the show and went on to buy many of his records.

Swords of a thousand men by ten pole tuder,
Everytime i hear it i reminisce and it brings a smile to my face

"Leaning on the Lamp Post" - Herman's Hermits 1966

The Chirping Crickets an early Buddy Holly LP, still love Buddy Holly.

It was an Anita Harris record but I can’t remember the song ! Can anyone remember titles of her songs ?

Are friends electric... Gary Numan and tubeway army. 1978 I think?

Ellianne

Nilsson " I can't live if living is without you." 1972

This was my first record too. We didn’t have a record player but I played it to death at my friend’s house.

I don't remember the first single I bought but when I was 11, my parents bought me The New Seekers, "I'd like to teach the world to sing," album at my behest as a reward for passing my Grade One Piano exam. I played it to death.

I had a cassette player for my birthday when I was twelve and this was my first tape.

Sugar sugar by the Archies and Black Night by Deep Purple. (not sure why as I was not into Rock). He's gonna step on you again by John Kongos. Still like this track and still have all the records.

I've got rhythm by The Happenings, about 1965. Funny how you remember your first record.

My mum took me to the cinema to see Tommy the Toreador! I loved that song!

Little White Bull by Tommy Steele!!!

It was before I was a teenager though
