First record you bought

The LP of The sound of music.

"Anastasia" by Pat Boone. I still have it, and still love it.

numberplease - thank you for that (Debbie Reynolds). I don't know why the Bonzo Dog-doodah Band was on the B side, in that case. I wonder if I've remembered that wrongly.

Just remember, I was just a kid!

Raw Hide!

Tammy was by Debbie Reynolds.
A record that I never had, but loved, was played loads of times on Family Favourites. It was Deck of Cards, by Wink Martindale. Anyone remember it?

Downtown by Petular Clark

Jim Reeves:"Distant Drum"

'Tammy' but I can't remember who sang it - it goes 'whiporwill, whiporwill, you and I know....Tammy, Tammy, you love him so....etc.' anyone remember it? The B side was by the Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band and it was actually my Dad who bought it because my pocket money would not stretch that far.

All or nothing by the Small Faces.

Sugar sugar

Strawberry Fair by Anthony Newley in 1960. I got my first record player for Christmas I was nine years old.

Return to Sender by Elvis. Played it so much on my Dansette record player that I think I wore the needle out.

One of my first 78s was Diana. My parents bought me a radiogram for my birthday - it was cheaper than a record player. A massive wooden box with a lid on.

I chose Diana, an Elvis record, and three others, can't remember which.

Happy days!

First purchase was 1961, "Frightened City" by the Shadows.
Adored the Shadows till fickle me discovered the Beatles.
Farmor51,"Pretty Woman" means a lot to me, spent lots of my student grant playing it on the jukebox in the caff near college.
Another meaningful record (do I feel a new thread coming on??) "Bohemian Rhapsody" was number one when daughter was born in 1975 so they are both nearly 40! Ha ha!

Those were the days, by Mary Hopkins. Still love this song.

Are You Lonesome Tonight by Elvis Presley. We used to be able to go in a booth to listen to the records before we bought them. We bought them at Brian Epsteins family shop in Liverpool

Garden of Eden by Frankie Vaughan

I'm a Believer - The Monkees.

Harry Belafonte - Scarlet Ribbons, probably showing my age.

Rock with the Caveman by Tommy Steele - and a boyfriend sat on it! First LP was soundtrack of King and I

Memphis Tennessee- Chuck Berry. It was also released by Dave Berry and the Cruisers but I preferred the Chuck Berry. Still know all the words to it and other songs of the 60s.
It's fun when an old song is released by a new new singer and you can astonish the DGC by singing along

Stardust, Nat King Cole. My last one was I wanna know what love is. The Eagles.

Don't treat me like a child. Helen Shapiro

When a Man Loves a Woman by Percy Sledge. Still love this song now.

Mine was "Move It" by Cliff Richard....second one was "High Class Baby", also by Cliff.

I bought them in A1 Stores, Walworth ~Road, S.E. London. I can still remember how excited I was.
