What was the First Record that you Bought?

John Travolta's Sandy, Grease had just come out in the cinema.

The House of the Rising Sun, by The Animals.

Elton John’s Elton John album

Adam Faith- 'What do you want?'- it was for my Mum though!

I think my first for me was Rolling Stones 'Not Fade Away.

I bought A Little too much by Ricky Nelson, in 1959. I'm glad to say my musical taste became a bit better very quickly. Everything at that time was American. Reading some of these posts makes me feel very old!!

Seven little girls sitting in the back seat.. The Avons

'Girls' by Moments and Whatnaughts, 1975. I still have it.

Bohemian Rhapsody ,Queen.
And i still love it.

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!

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.

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.

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

I'm a Believer.. The Monkies 1965

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.

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

Cathy's Clown. Everley Brothers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Telstar by The Tornadoes.

"Delta Lady" by Joe Cocker
Still love it

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 ....
