record

erm i can remember the first ones i got bought for me they where Michael Jackson BAD and Bros PUSH :D, infact i still have all my LP collection :D
 
now this is from the past,the first one i got ,was jonny kid and the pirates, shaking all over.
 
Records were on their way out when I started buying music and the new fangled modern tapes were all the rage. :D

However I do remember buying one of those small ones.....were they called 45s or something? :confused:

It was Frankie by Sister Sledge. :)
 
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!

Frank Sinatra - Songs for Swinging Lovers
please note 'swinging' has a different meaning now than it did then :)
 
The 1st LP I had bought for me as a child was Beatles for Sale, my father bought it for me. He fetched it home from a trip to Hong Kong, he was in the merchant navy at the time...early '65 at a guess.

Think the first one I bought for myself was Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
 
I may be wrong but i think it was showaddywaddy........ i remember the first cd i bought, it was right said fred, i'm too sexy (dont ask!!!! )
 
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

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
 
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 .
 
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.:)
