What was the first single you purchased

Sugar Baby Love by The Rubettes

Mine was "sugar sugar" by The Archies. I remember it had an orange middle . Bought from Woolies too.

2468 Motorway TRB

Oh I love Sugar Baby Love and Young Girl too. Happy memories

Guitar Man Duane Eddy.

Susan Maugham Bobby's Girl. I can remember going to the record dept at the Co Op on a Saturday morning straight after getting my pocket money.

Everlasting Love by The Love Affair which I shared with my twin sister as we didn't have much pocket money, probably from the Co-Op. We would have been about 14. They were also the first group we went to see at the Danse de Palais (known as the 'Pally') in Nottingham which is no more.

Oh stop it !

I love 2,4,6,8 Motorway too Scentia

In fact I pretty much love everything from between the late 60's and the early 80's .

Livin' Doll--Cliff Richards. I still have it somewhere and its middle is green.

If I remember rightly it was 6/9p.

Then it went on to Lonnie Donegan, which mum liked as well

From a jack to a king......

Mine was The Most Beautiful Girl In the World by Charley Rich.

I got a summer job in the Knorr factory and bought a record player from Comet with my wages, but had nothing to play on it! .

I loved all those others mentioned. Happy days indeed.

Although I became a mad Beatles fan, the first record I bought was Just One Look by The Hollies. I still love it now.

Mine was -Leader of the Pack by Shangra-Las and Terry by Twinkle myself and friends bought them when we were at school. I played them over again and again until my mum took them off me telling me I was too young for that sort of music. She could have been right it was about teenage drama and boys.

Those were the days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ride a White Swan, by T.Rex

Terry by Twinkle!

I thought I was the only person to have heard of that song.

Over the years I've mentioned it and people just looked at me blankly!

Fabulous song!

Kate1949 I still love that song and have just added it to my Spotify list. . Thanks for the reminder.

King of the Road - Roger Miller

It's lovely Marydoll I loved The Hollies. Tony Hicks was one of my (many) teenage crushes. He still looks good now.

Oh I loved Terry. Our neighbour is called Terry. Every time I see him that song goes through my head!

My first 45 record was “Cottonfields”, The Beach Boys in 1969.
I think Brian Wilson is still alive and nearly 80.

Puzzler, I had forgotten that one. Off to add it too. I could be here all day.

What a gentle, uplifting thread. Thanks TrendyNannie

Mine was Lonnie Donegan's Battle of New Orleans on a 78 rpm record.
