Reply With QuoteMy first was a 45 single bought in 1964 - the Beach Boys 'I Get Around' b/w 'Don't Worry Baby' 8)
Still got it & it still sounds great :lol:
Singles were 'six & eight' then :wink:
Prompted by Eddie's recent post re 80's music for sale on eBay described as "vintage".
My first record (a round black plastic disk played with an old version of the laser called a "needle") was "Bad Penny Blues" by Lionel Hampton on a 78, c.1955
Yours?

I first became properly musically aware in about 1976. This was just a few years after the Beatles had split, but the sixties all seemed like ancient history. I can clearly remember album releases in the late seventies, almost like they were "yesterday". All that is 30 years ago. 30 (thirty). However much I say it I can't absorb it. I think I'll go and hide somewhere dark.
My first record was Two Little Boys by St. Rolf, bought for me by my parents. The first record I bought for myself was My Coo Ca Choo by Alvin Stardust, on 7".
I can't say for certain which was the first but Del Shannon's "Runaway" on vinyl 45 was amongst the first. 1961, I think.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
My first music purchase was the 45rpm single Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere by The Who in 1965, though I had been recording music from the radio onto a reel to reel tape deck for many years prior to that. I also had a number of reel to reel tape LPs which my parents bought me; including Out Of The Shadows, (The Shadows), and Please Please Me, (The Beatles), which they bought me after I went to see The Beatles live at the Gaumont in Doncaster. :)
Great times, great music - and the bands actually played their own instruments in those days too :wink: :lol:

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
"Please Hammer Don T Hurt Em " from MC Hammer, released in 1990. It was actually a cassette which
costed about three weeks pocket money...
I just started learning English so i was singing along like i thought it sounded right:
"käänt tatsch zis,oohh... " :D
( imagine little German boy jumping around like Hammer and singing completely wrong - i would love a tape of that )
Two LP albums, "The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden and "In Visible Silence" by Art Of Noise.
"Aftermath" by the Stones and Bob Dylan's "Freewheelin Bob Dylan" - 1965

Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold As Love

Then when I started buying records properly, God save the Queen by the Sex Pistols. Countless thousands of Pounds later I still collect vinyl & CDs! :o

Fireball XL5 on EP when I was a lad. Can't remember what the next was.
Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon on LP.
c 1975, I would have been 11, my (much) older sister's influence. Still got the album, wish I still had the poster and stickers...
Still love all that type of music, but of course a year later was into punk rock too :D
:)
Amazing...
same for me!My first record was Two Little Boys by St. Rolf, bought for me by my parents
Cheers,
Not quite sure. Early in the 80's. Jefferson Airplane or Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young...
On a 33.
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
When I was very young my parents bought me a set of 78's that contained a voice recording of 'Babar the Elephant". The first I bought for myself was a 45 recording of "Mr Sandman" by the Chordettes, sometime in the early 50's.
I remember being given a couple of vinyl singles for a birthday. Adam Ant's Goody Two Shoes and House of Fun by Madness which means 1982...
First Single - Can't buy me love -Beatles
First Album -GI Blues - Elvis
Devil's Answer?
First record; 45rpm "Tell me when" by the Applejacks...1964.
First for me (I was about 4).......
An EP by Paddy Roberts - The Ballad of Bethnal Green
BUT I was not allowed to listen to it because of the other tracks on the EP
"The Englishman With His Usual Bloody Cold"
"Love Isn't What It Used To Be"
and
"When I Was A Little Wolf Cub and You Were A Brownie"
-all "risquee" ditties full of inuendo (especially the one about what wolf cubs got up to with brownies!!)
Funny - I can still recite the lyrics perfectly more than 45 years later!!!!
Reckon we have an age profile emerging :D :D :D
...mine was the album Fog on the Tyne by Lindisfarne. Still plays well...but I dare not think how long ago 1971 or 2 was!!
Steve
Thought that myself. :roll:
