First Single Bought

[Neeranam]

Mine was aged 11, on a trip to London(1977)  - Something Better Change by The Stranglers. And how music did change - the flares were immediately cut to drainpipes and long hair to spiky. I did have Bohemian Rhapsody(1975) but I think my mum bought that for me.  -

If it's Wombling In The Rain, nothing to be ashamed of. Mike Batt wrote some great songs.

That reminds me; do you remember Max Bygraves's "I'm a Blue Tooth Brush you're a Pink Tooth Brush", same era. I must have been around 5 years old.

[Chivas]

Get it On by T.Rex who had a very dodgy keyboard player as a session musician.....watch and yes it is him !

Must have been 1971 ish

mine too, it was a Christmas prezzie from my folks. I never knew there was a free UFO - reckon folks must ve half inched it.

I loved that album though - "Big Wheels" and "Wild West Hero" - outstanding
