What was the First Record that you Bought?

MrsJeeves I had Johnny Tillitson’s record but I’m even older than you, mine was Pat Boone I’ll be home.

Return to Sender by Elvis

The first single I bought was Hold Me by P J Proby. I spent every Saturday morning listening to it in my local record shop which had those listening booths, until I had saved enough money to buy it It was 4/6d I think I was 13
The first LP I bought was Tamla Motown Greatest Hits. I still have it, and also have the CD version too.

Those were the Days by Mary Hopkin .

Mendelssohn and Bruch violin concertos with Perlman and Previn and the LSO. I was 10.

Back Home - 1970 England football squad! I was 10!

Walk right back by the Everly Brothers, it has the very sad Ebony Eyes on the B side. About 1962 I think.

My Nan bought me my first record ... Theme from A Summer Place by Percy Faith. Not really my choice but I liked it. My first record I bought myself was probably a Cliff Richard one .... I loved him but with hindsight I preferred Elvis ....

"Delta Lady" by Joe Cocker
Still love it

Telstar by The Tornadoes.

I wanted to buy “I’m the urban spaceman baby” but The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band but they were sold out so came home with ‘Where do you go to my lovely “ instead but Peter Starstedd. It cost 7 shillings and sixpence!

If I’d had enough pocket money the first record I bought would have been He’s a Rebel by the Crystals.

either The Beatles I wanna hold your hand or she loves you - I can’t remember but I recall it was 4/6d

Oh Scottiebear I love my Bread album. Going to have to have a listen now.

Bread. The album. Bought it with my first pay. Still have it, though I've got the CD now.

An LP of the film 'The King and I'.

First single - 'King of the Road' - Roger Miller.

Cathy's Clown. Everley Brothers.

Thieving Magpie Overture by Rossini. Second one was Red Sails in the Sunset, but I cannot remember by who.

I love this thread! I’ve just gone through singing along or being reminded of places or times. Brilliant.

My first was Ben by Michael Jackson, still have it, along with a few others although once again nothing to play it on. We didn’t have a record player until I was about 15, given to us by my mums friend, but we did have a tape recorder and taped the ‘charts’ every Sunday.

I'm a Believer.. The Monkies 1965

Elton John Your Song, but I love Ewan Mcgregors version from Moulin Rouge

Gosh you're all a lot younger than me! I think my first was Cliff Richard's Living Doll. Who else remembers his film Expresso Bongo? It was an X film (wouldn't be nowadays!) but we were 16, my friend and I, so we tottered along the Kings Road in our best clothes to the Essoldo cinema and got in no problem.

I bought two - "I believe" by the Bachelors and "A world without love" by Peter and Gordon. Much thought went into spending any of my precious pocket money.

Mine was Elizabethan Serenade by Ron Goodwin and Orchestra (I think), bought in 1957, chosen for me by my Father, I was 10. My Brother had Diana by Paul Anka at same time. He was 7 and obviously had more modern taste even at that age!

Bohemian Rhapsody ,Queen.
And i still love it.
