Do You Remember The First Record You Ever Bought ? This Was Mine.

[Bazile]

Or was it the Shaft ,album

[FoxLee2]

My first record after we got a Dansette record player was Kewpie Doll by Frankie Vaughan

[tonyav]

Frankie Vaughan

He opened a youth club ( grand opening, cutting ribbon etc ) near me when I was a nipper, he left with a Black eye !

[Theland]

R. Dean Taylor - Gotta see Jane, (single).

Rolling Stones - Aftermath, (L.P.)

[Mozz71]

Gotta See Jane is a great song. In fact, all three of Taylor's big hits were great.

[Theland]

Special bonus for me. I asked out the girl in the record shop, and it went well. It went very very well :-)

[Caran]

Not the first record but the best ever. Albatross by Fleetwood Mac.
I remember playing this on a dansette with the arm back so it played constantly for hours.
This is also on my funeral list.

[tonyav]

Great record that, Caran.

[FoxLee2]

tonyav - who gave him a black eye?

[tonyav]

One of the local tough guy's at the youth club, if you knew the area that it was in then you wouldn't have been surprised.

//Bobbisox1, I used to love Francoise Hardy Songs//


I just loved Francois Hardy as a young lad. I never actually listened to her songs. First time I saw her was in Grand Prix.

[FoxLee2]

That's awful - he was such a nice guy and grew up in a tough area of Liverpool and wanted to make a difference. What was his reaction?

[theshedman]

Jeepster by T Rex was my first record.

[johnk]

Have I got the oldest? Lonnie Donegan Cumberland Gap 1956

[emmie]

i bought my mum Glenn Miller recordings, in about the 1960's

[waterboatman]

Tommy Steele, Singing the Blues.

[murraymints]

my first..from Woolies 4/6d

[davebro]

We must have had a fairly limited selection of recorded music back in the day - I recall Unchained Melody "charted" several times in 1955 with different artists.
And Eddie Calvert (and his golden trumpet) was a big hit around then.
Hernando's Hideaway also got played a lot.

[murraymints]

for Caran...I love this too

[DTCwordfan]

they appeared down here in an old small school hall used as the village community centre - Mylor - and holding about 400 max. And we're not talking the tribute band! Albatross was on their play-list....
