What was the first LP or single you bought?

First single was opy of Ride a White Swan by T Rex which came out of my uncle' s juke box in his pub. I had to have an adapter to replace the missing middle part on an ordinary record player.

First LP was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John. It cost £3.99 as it was a double album and I earned 22.5p an hour in my Saturday job ( 4hrs in factory!) so it looks month to earn enough to pay for it. I played it for years.

The first record I bought was 54321 by Manfred Mann . I was 11 and my parents bought my brother and I a record player for both of us passing the 11 plus .

Mine was Little bit me by the Monkees -also in love with Davy Jones! x

Everlasting love by the Love affair

Mine was Buddy Holly and the Crickets, bought it from my mum's Kays catalogue and paid weekly. The first single I bought was Cathy's Clown by the Everly Brothers, but I already had 78s tthat had been given to me by my aunts, including Paul Anka, Tommy Steele and Elvis.

Rock Around The Clock. A 78, broken long ago. The actual song plays in the car, and has been useful in teaching grandchildren to count. They ask for the "clock song".

My first single was "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John. It was my first pay packet from working in Littlewoods and I went to the Record Rendevous to listen to it through headphones!

I also recall my parents purchasing "Je t'aime" which I thought was quite raunchy at that time. I used to get embarassed if they played it when my brother and I were around (I was about 11 at the time)

First ever single Love me Do by the Beatles i was 7
First LP Motown Chart Busters Vol 2.

We used to have a teens disco here once a week, and when that time came on, all the rock and rollers would get up and dance - even the boys!!

The first single I bought was At the Hop by Danny and the Juniors. I still think it’s a terrific record and have to get up and dance whenever I hear it.

Not sure.
Might have been Cliff Richard but more likely Tobacco Road.

The first single I bought was "Do you mind" by Anthony Newley in about 1960. My first LP was the first Shadows LP which was a Christmas present.

Loved the song, but as a young adolescent Rosemary it was excruciatingly embarrassing 😂

That’s supposed to be a reply to whoever liked the song!

Neil Diamond 'Hot August Night' (Double LP) bought in 1973
Loved it, played it every day after work, still play it now. Small scratch on one side now, it is so upsetting, no idea how it happened.

Oh, Marc..

One of my best memories was of when Tyrannosaurus Rex played at our small local Jazz Club in 1970, and Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn came over to the bar and chatted to me and my best friend for the whole of their interval, and bought us drinks. They were both incredibly good-looking, and I’m pleased to report that they were also absolute gentlemen, and so kind to us naive little 15 year olds. I think Marc probably chose to join us because he was wearing purple velvet dungarees and I was resplendent in my purple velvet hot pants!
