The first record you ever bought...
 
This was mine. I used to rely on my older brother to buy the top tunes of the day, but he went all hippy and got into progressive rock so I had to buy my own.

It was on the Trojan label and I still have it somewhere.

I bought "Spirit in the Sky" Norman Greenbaum because I liked it and took it round to a mates to play as I didn't have my own record player at the time. In fact I think she still has it :ohmy:

It had a terrible C&W style ballad on the flipside called 'Milk Cow' if I remember rightly.

An LP called Blues from the Gutter by Champion Jack Dupree.
Even if you don`t like blues, listen to it for the classy Piano, sax and guitar playing in it .

First single "It's all over now" by the Stones, first album "The Five Faces of Manfred Mann" with the Paul Jones lineup. Around 1964 I think.
And can somebody tell me how Paul Jones just hasn't aged? Cos believe it or not.....he's 66 this month!

It`s not off the record but all I could find on youtube that was similar, it was a lot more modern performance than my LP back in 1963 or so. ;-))

That song always reminds me of my motorbiking days. They always seemed to have it on in the biker cafes i visited. :cool:

Splish Splash by Bobby Darin along with King Creole

Dad bought em really, to play on the radiogram he bought me (is that the right spelling -doesn't really matter does it as they do not exist now). He had just bought or had been given the said radio... It had the old metal needles that dug an even deeper groove every time you played the record.
