What was the First Record that you Bought?

"My sweet lord" by George Harrison.
My first album was Carly Simons "No Secrets" from moneys earned from my Saturday job at Tescos.

Dowah Diddy Diddy by Manfred Mann. I had it for all of half an hour. A friend borrowed it for the evening and wouldn’t return it. ?

Girls Girls Girls by Sailor

Ferry cross the Mersey

I Remember You .. by Frank Ifield in 1962. My first ever 45 record, I nagged my mum to buy it. How I loved his yodelling, made me go weak at the knees!

Lemontart

Girls Girls Girls by Sailor

I used to like the one about getting together.. the two of us over a glass of champagne.

it was in 1956 so probably either heartbreak hotel - elvis or
bebopalula - gene vincent.

"Let's Get Together" - Hayley Mills from the 1961 film The Parent Trap.

Propaganda by Sparks was my first LP and Without You by Harry Nielsen my first single. I still have and play them

CrazyH I had The Young Ones EP too.

I would have sworn I had the Beatles "She Loves You" first but google tells me that was released in 1964 and The Young Ones was 1962. Unless copies were still around in the shops and I got it later.

I seem to remember singles were Six Shillings and Thruppence. Old friends of Dad always sent my brother and I a record token each at xmas.

My first record was Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony ( Pathetique)
I don't know where I first heard it, but it's been one of my favourites for more than 60 years
After that I bought Buddy Holly albums

Please don't tease by Cliff Richard 1960. I was 11 so would have had to save up my pocket money to buy and play on my Dansette record player.

I want you back - The jackson 5

'Sealed with a kiss' by Brian Hyland about 1963/4. Better than the later version by Jason Donovan.

My first record was an LP - 'Please Please Me'. I still have it - hopefully, in mint condition, it might realise some funds one day.

I can’t remember my first single but I do remember my first LP ‘With the Beatles’ I felt so grown up carrying it back on the bus home. Still got it although nothing to play it on nowadays! Spent hours listening to it in my bedroom, probably drove my parents mad!

First single was Rolling Stones Hey you get offa my cloud in 1965. First LP was Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik in 1967 and it cost my dad 21/- for my 11th birthday.

It might as well rain until September by Carol King - cost me 6/8d!

Kate and Grandmajean thank you.

I think that I need to make a playlist after reading this thread.

"Born Too Late" by the Poni Tails. It was 1958, I was 15 and had a schoolgirl crush on the man who was playing my father in a play put on by the local amateur dramatic society!!!

Russ Conway. Side saddle!

Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys. It cost 6s 8d from Boots! Would that be about 65p now?

Me too and I still love The Monkees today.

Gosh, I remember so many of those. I think my first one was ‘Halfway to Paradise’ by Billy Fury. I loved him. He would have loved me too, but we never met!
I think Last Train to San Fernando Was by Lonnie Donegan.
I feel my taste was quite mainstream compared to some of you cool chicks!

I loved Billy too, so did my friend Jean. We went to The Radio Show at Earls Court because he was appearing. We got there early and were right at the front. Before he came on Jean fainted and was lifted up and taken back stage. I went to find her and she was in The Green Room being looked after by Mandy Miller the actress. While we were sitting there Billy came in and sat opposite us. We were trying to pluck up the courage to go and ask for his autograph but he was announced and went on stage. Talk about a missed opportunity. I went to see his statue at Liverpool’s Albert Dock last year.
