My first single was Ma Baker, which I still maintain was pretty cool of me.

If my memory serves me right it was 'Please Mr Custer' by Charlie Drake
The shame that i feel is unbearable. redface
First album was Rubber Soul - The Beatles
Paul
I didn't mean to leave it. I put it down lovingly, retouched the masses of teenage make-up. Inspected the latest and most hideous of zits. Asked my friend if she thought my bum looked big in my new attire and then ran out hoping to catch a glimpse of the equally spotty youth I was in love with.
Once I had realised I had no longer got my beloved single, I hot tailed it back to the loo only to discover it had vanished.
C'est la Vie ! sad

My first was actually two, saved up my pocket money I guess...
Sailing - Rod Stewart
If You Leave Me Now - Chicago
Still got them after all those years (about 30?) and, yeah Steve, I think they were about 70p!!
Ah memories....
Sorry I missed the mass log on, couldn't get near the net for my 9 year old playing The Sims!!

Now there is a name that makes me weep. I loved Charlie Drake. (I was very young at the time) I remember vaguely the show he had and he used to sing at the end...... goodnight sweetheart... or something like that. It has very fond memories for me but also makes me sad.

Wow - I think alcohol over the years has knackered my brain - but I do remember his TV shows and at the time thought they were incredibly funny. But can't remember what he sang to close out the show. I must have been around 10 at the time.
As a total aside (must be because Wilma has now made me think of my formative years) my son asked me a few years ago (when he was about 10) and I quote
' Dad, did you have toys when you were my age?'
I reply ' Yes Marcus, of course I did'
' I suppose they were all made of wood'
It amused me at the time

Where are the 'highbrows' on this site?
My first record was the Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor by Borodin. The music was later plagerised by some Yank and brought out as a pop single called Stranger in Paradise. If I remember correctly it was one of the first 'Classical' 45's made. Cost me 2/6d brand new. That's about in funny money.

Showing my age here I think. lol
First record was Hang on Sloopy by The McCoys. I can still see myself dancing around the sofa to it!!! Ah, the good old days of flexibility and suppleness - lol :lol:
Higbrow stuff came later - am listening to Scarlatti's 'Sonate per Clavicembalo right now. Early stuff is good though I do have a very soft spot for Mozart's Great Mass in C minor and have been known to sing along to it. Love it, love it, love it.
First single was Knocked it off by B A Robertson.
First album (I think) was one by The Smiths, dont think i ever played it - only bought it to look trendy in the record shop in front of my friends!
First record I was given was a little 5''-'The Minstrel Boy': fitted on a small plastic 'Kiddiphone'. I swapped it for a 'Johnny Seven' gun (anyone remember them?)
First records bought was 'Apeman' by the Kinks and Cracklin'Rosie-Neil Diamond-about 1970ish. Took me a week of lugging hay bales to afford them. (The balance went on a 'Brutus' shirt-remember them: rounded collars,all the rage. I'd fancied one for ages but had no money till then. First saturday night I wore it, at a Young Farmers dance, got in a barney about a local farmers daughter and had it ripped off my back by a baying hoard of drunken locals. Quiet life in the country.)
First album was Virgin001-'Tubular Bells' which I still have.
First classical-Vivaldi's Four Seasons-now have several versions.
Sappho is right, we're all having a good old wallow in the mudhole of nostalgia. Nice though isn't it.

Hi all, Slim. Children, Children, the first record in the collection, Lonnie Donnegon Cumberland Gap, followed by the one and only Bob Dylan, Times they are a Changing, and then of course after going to see all the groups to see if they had it or not, I'm pleased to say they are still considered the best in the game. Sad to say not all are still with us, but there music will always be. So endeth the sermon.
I'm still considering this younger women scene.
