i remember we inherited a record player,it was a red box with a white stripe......and you had to put 2p on the needle arm to stop the record jumping...ah the good old days.....singing with hairbrush in mirror..

I'm not sure I want to admit to any of this, could be quite embarrassing but I was very young! My first record bought for me was by someone called Trini Lopez!!! and the first record I bought was Andy Williams.

I am not quite as old as these might suggest though!

I can still hear the sound of a record playing................all the crackles and jumps................remember the fluff clogging on the needle? Or did I just have a dusty house Yip and I did the hairbrush singing too...............no singstar for us

First LP: The Beatles "Let It Be" 1970. I had picked the winners of a double that my nan put on for me. It paid $38 for a 50c outlay. I only saw $10 of it though But from that I got the record.

I was never much of a collector of 45's, preferring the LP's instead. My first album on CD was Bob Dylan's "Masterpieces". I got that early 90s (had had it on vinyl before then.)

Pass de dutchy by some family type band,or it might have been Pink Floyd-Brick in the Wall.

First single - A Good Heart by Feargal Sharkey. Mmm, vinyl. Still have it somewhere!
Couldn't name my first album or CD though

The first single I bought was Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen in 1975. I got it from John Menzies in St.Helens for 45p. I think that shows great taste for a 10 year old but then I'm biased .

My first LP was Abba's greatest hits, bought in 1975/6 period I think.

hi everyone

my first singe was by Toyah, sorry cannot remember the name but i remember her hair on the front was all multicoloured, and my first album was by spandau ballet, closely followed by ultravox.
i cannot remember what my first cd was,
singing in mirror has just reminded me of me and some friends making up dances to the songs,, now that was a long time ago

with regards
