My first single was Lets Hang on to what we got by the 4 Seasons.
It was a prize in a competition on a smiths crisps packet. I correctly counted the number of triangles in a geometric design
My first album bought with gift token was the Voice of Scott Mackenzie
My first cd (when I had to replace albums I lost custody of in marital breakup....gggrrrrrr) Best of Van Morrison
My first single....Puppy Love - Donny Osmond ........and I had the big 'Donny' poster on my wall until my big bro scratched Donny's eyes out after a squabble!
.........then I graduated to better music like Bay City Rollers!! lol
hmm dnt laff.. first 45 was...Rose Garden... Lynn Anderson!
First album I think was a Pickwick compilation Top of the Pops, had a predominantly blue cover with an Anna Rigg lookalike on the cover..prob still got it! First artist on Vinyl album would have been Elton Johns Dnt Shoot Me...a great album. the track 'teacher I need you' shoulda been a single! Sold all my singles at a boot fair and now sorry.
Have no idea it was that long ago.... I remember I liked buying the 'Top of the Pops' albums and still have them.
Funny looking at them now with my idol's names scrawled all over the covers!
I remember my Dad sending me up to the record shop in 1973 for Leader Of The Gang by Gary Glitter
I was only 8 awwww
It wasn't until i heard Bat out of Hell on the radio in 1979 that i saved my paper round money and bought the album
I wore out the grooves by playing it over and over
Gone were the days of Mud , Showaddywaddy and the Bay City Rollers after i heard Meatloaf .. i'd been converted
First single was the double A side reissue of Bohemian Rhapsody / These are the Days of Our Lives that was rushed out after freddie died.. Lost that tape in a car fire years back, I was gutted!
First album? Pretty sure it was the London Philharmonic's interpretation of Holst's : (the) Planet's Suite..
I've just bought my first ever set of earphones in my whole life. Tested em out on 'knockin on Heavens Door' Guns n Roses followed by 'Civil War' Yeahhhhhhhh they work !!!!
