What was the first LP or single you bought?

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.

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

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.

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!!

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

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)

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".

Do you still get embarrassed?

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.

Everlasting love by the Love affair

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

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 .

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.

Snoopy and the Red Baron. It was a toss up between that and a Cat Stevens single.

First album rod Stewart Atlantic crossing. First two singles ra dancer marmalade. Crocodile rock Elton John.

1st single was Petula Clark...Downtown..saved up months of pocket money..It was for my dad's birthday present. I was 9. Think mum probably gave me some money towards it...6/8d if I remember. First album Electric Warrior... T Rex

The first record I bought was an EP (remember them?) It was The Universal Soldier by Donovan, and the first LP I owned was his Fairytale.

The first LP I bought with my pocket money was Sgt. Pepper by the Beatles. I bought it as a birthday present for my sister and remember being impressed by my own generosity!

“What do you want to make those eyes at me for” by Emil Ford. It was a 45 rpm record purchased for 4/6d in late 50’s I think.

I LOVE that song!
