Records were on their way out when I started buying music and the new fangled modern tapes were all the rage. :D

It's the summer of 1964 and my folks have just bought a new Dansette record player (with automatic disc changer, no less!). Immediately, I rush downtown, into Woolies and there it is...the LP I've had my eye on for so long..."The Greatest Hits of Elvis Presley", complete with a moody black-and-turquoise drawing of the King on the cover...and unbelievably, it's only 12/6 (60p), unlike most LPs which are 32/6 (£1.60) at this time. I hand over my money and proudly set off for home with my new purchase. As I'm walking along Blackburn Road, I can't resist taking the record out of its cover and then I notice something strange...it's on some obscure label called Embassy (El's records are all on RCA-Victor) and suddenly I notice the words on the label "recorded by Danny Storm & the Tempests" and I realise that I've spent my money on an album's worth of cheapo cover versions. Not for the last time, I walk home sadly, reflecting on the ways of this wicked world!

Re: record
 

SUCKER, embassy was real crap cover Wynonie, but never mind ya soon learnt the differance music wise.:D;)

Re: record
 

Think it was Joan Baez 'there but for fortune', a special order from Marys Music ,
As wynonie says , 32/6d ........don't think we had inflation in those days LPs were allways 32/6d and a gallon of 2stroke mix for my lambretta Li150 was 5/-

note ...the record disappeared during a 50/50 divorce settlement with a pevish ex-wife :D can forgive but never forget :D

Re: record
 

Lambretta!!!! :eek:
Own up - you were a 'mod' ;)

Re: record
 

12" centre vent , dark navy blue pin stripe, indigo blue 'silk' lining ......I was smoooth, none of this modern day football shirt, trackie crap ....we knew how to dress in those days .;)

relating to another thread about a football game in Manchester , what is it with the modern day Brit males , guys in their 20s/30s/40s overweight guys with beer guts and shaved heads, wearing football gear ? surely that belongs to 12/13/14 year olds , who have football idols and not a bunch of guys who have latent gay tendancies , maybe 'Glasgowguy' and 'comeonstanley' (now that sounds gay to me ) have an answer . :D :D

Re: record
 

My first LP was Elvis Gold Records, bought from Mick Sturzaker,for 10 bob, at a tanner a week. My first 12'' centre vent suit, McKno's .

Re: record
 

The first album I bought was Plastic Letters by Blondie, purchased from a little record shop in Ambleside. It was Easter 1978, and we were up there water skiing for the weekend, and I really couldn't wait to get home so I could listen to it.

I thought it was great...and still do.:)
