1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Back in the mid 60's I think it was "Beach Boys Greatest Hits" or "Simon and Garfunkle, Sounds of Silence" Mum told me if she heard "Hello Darkness My Old Friend" one more time, the 1st day and night that I bought it, she would kill me. Didn't think she would, it was 4 in the morning and she had to get up for work soon!!!! :theband:

Plastic Letters by Blondie.

Easter 1978.

Cost £3.99.

We were up in the Lakes water skiing, for a long weekend.

It drove me potty, not being able to play it for five whole days. Though it was never off the stereo, once we were back home, and I still love it.

That was the first L.P. I bought myself. Though I'd grown up playing my parents albums, which were mainly Elvis and jazz. Again two areas of music I still adore.

thank god for mp3's iv been listening to that album since childhood although not as much these days iv just got too much choice now

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

I couldn't afford LP records......but I drove my dad daft with 'Love me do' by the Beatles.
So much so that he cut the plug off my Dansette record player....and I tried to put a new one on and nearly electrocuted myself.

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

That'll Be the Day- Buddy Holly think was his last album before he died in 59, but was around 60/61 when i collered it. think i got it from Marshalls but aint certain.:confused::)

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Don't think so, mate...Marshalls didn't open until until '68. Possibly Mary's (Blackburn Road) or the Co-op in Abbey Street?

Mine was "The Angry Young Them" by, predictably enough, Them. Played it until it was knackered...couldn't get enough of their singer, some surly looking sod by the name of Van Morrison.

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

musta been marys wyn cheers fer that, Twas marshalls that got me n even older record, that musta been very late 60s then.:)

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Is that the really rare 45 on the London label that you told me about - The Penguins I think?

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Nah mate was "Twilight Time the "Platters" had left my copy on window bottom one summers day n was desparate to replace it, took her about 5/6 weeks but she got it fer me, still have it today.:)

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Mrs Marshall was a good 'un. She knew she had a fair bit of competition, with Mary Mort a few doors down and she'd go the extra mile to get the record you wanted! :)

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

The first LP I bought with my own money was either a Bowie or a Slade ..already had a few Beatles and stuff..

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

I was just wondering if anyone remembers a second hand record shop just down from the Black Horse on Abbey St that sold records in the early 70's?

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Elvis Golden Records, bought second hand from Mick Sturziker we sat together at holy family paid him back at a tanner a week.

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

That would be Disc @ Tape Mancie, corner abbey st / little blackburn rd, nah don't remember it.:D

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Top record shop - sold both new and used records. Accyweb member and Clayton End habituee Uncle Mick was a permanent fixture there in the 70's.

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

The Disc and Tape was the best record shop in the late seventies.

At that time most albums were about four quid. Which if you take into account inflation, and the cost of buying music today, was relatively expensive, in relation to today's prices.

Was worth every penny though.

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

The first LP I bought was Billy Haley and the comets Rock around the Clock and I still have it, bet it sounds awful today:D

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Scrittie Politti's first album Songs to Remember and my Japan album, Assemblage were the most frequently played. I used to play them over and over and over again.

But, my Mum used to do the ironing in the room next to my bedroom and after an hour or so of my 'suicide music' as she called it, she begged me to play my Bat out of Hell album. It was never, ever cool to admit that I liked Meat Loaf at the time, but I guess it's ok now.

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Another record that drove my parents daft was, Billy Fury.....Once Upon A dream.

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

This shop was not on the corner of Little blkbrn road and Abby St but was directly across from the Duke of Welly pub...maybe it was only in business for a few months.. I might have to accept that it was never there.. or only existed in some sort of parallel dimension. :confused::)

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Well mate if yer owt like me ya were probably stoned or lashed up around that period.:D

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

It was one of those two shops with a common entrance, next to the ginnal, I think it was the left hand shop very narrow. Formerly a butchers It was swallowed up in the refurbishment that created the 3 shop fronts that sold kitchen and household utensils.

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Lets try albums that changed your listening habits! Mine was back in 1976 and I was around a friends who was the front man for one of the groups that used to sing live at the Mecca, remember them? He put on an album he had just bought that blew me away. The White Album from The Average White Band! AWB. Still one of the best albums I have ever heard and have it in the car to sing (badly) along to!!!! Before any cracks, the CD not a great record player on the back seat!!! ;););)

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Didn't like um myself G they were only average really:D

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!

On the night:D

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Not really an Album that I bought, but best part of the Lads in the unit did (Back in 1985) was Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms", you could hear the whole Album if you walked the length of the singleys Accommodation block. After so much exposure I didn't really feel like buying the Album. :) For me personally one of my favourite firsts would've been "The River" by Bruce Springsteen.

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

Far from me first but 2 great albums Dave.;) Transformer - Lou Reed wasn't my first by a long way, but was certainly inspirational.:)

Re: 1st LP you bought and played it until your Mum wanted to kill you!!!!
 

I've still got Transformer on CD!...Great!

I cant actually recall the first LP i bought but can remember my first Single it was called "To Whom it Concerns" by Chris Andrews, who had previously recorded "Yesterday Man" it would have been around 1965 or 66 so i was 8 or 9 yrs old! I got it from the shop under the viaduct on Blackburn Road!
