It's great to see the diversity of Music tastes amongst us Gooners! and it got me thinking and remembering about the first records I bought...
What was your first single 45RPM (r CD Single for those to young to remember vinyl)? And what was the first album/CD you bought?
Single: "Reach Out (I'll Be There) by The Four Tops - I've still got it and I still get shivvers down the spine when I hear/play it... - had my first grope as well ! aaaah (sigh) them was the days eh!?
Album: Axis Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix Experience (for my Eleventh Birthday) - Got my parents totally worried
Come on Gooners dust off those grey cells and 45's !!
Great question, I couldn't afford to buy records until I started work in ..... errr... 1980, so my first chart single I purchased was Pulling Muscles from a Shell, Squeeze...
First singles actually as it was a trip into town late 60s (fuck that makes me feel old!). That day I purchased Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheepy by Middle of the Road and Me and You and a Dog Named Boo by Lobo!!
Album? It was one of the compilation albums by K-Tel, again circa 1970.
Thanks OneBard, you've gone and made me totally pissed off reminding me that I'm not young anymore!!!
