Growing up in the early 80s, we didn't have anything as old fashioned as a record player. My parents had fully embraced modernity with their mono tape deck for playing their Perry Como and Frankie Valli cassettes. 

 

Once I grew out of NOW (a UK top hits franchise that seems still to be going), the first proper band cassette I bought was either Eponymous by REM or Doolitte by the Pixies.

April Wine - "Harder.......Faster", it was an 8 track I bought in 1979. Played it in my first car on the Pioneer 8 Track player I had.  The Favorite song I had was "I like to Rock"...

I knew Annie as she lived near me in Aberdeen!  

 

Saw the tourists live with few people there. Ah, makes me homesick ????

I used to watch that too. My first love also . What a doll Maria was !

 

( not much of an actress though. Her performances were a bit wooden )

And I'm pretty  sure she'd  string you along too!

Bought my first car - 57 Chevy - for $35 bucks

Worked on it for 2 years, just about to turn 16 and get a drivers license.

A 'Friend' from school used to supply tape decks - for a price

Ordered one. 2 days later it came, along with a beer case full of 8 tracks

In that box was Led Zeppelin 2

That album changed my life. Hair got longer, smokes got greener.

Was fortunate to have supper with Jimmy Page in Pattaya years ago.

Thanked him for it in person

Those were the day, when if the radio didn't work the car was broken.:smile: By the way, 1957 was a good year , though I am sure there are some like my ex wife who will not agree.

I was born 06/07/1957

The average age of the TVF posters on this thread must be around 70 judging by the old music listed 555

 

Sex Pistols - The great rock n roll scandal, 7in single, 1979, when in junior school. Although it might have Sham 69 - Hersham Boys also from 1979.

Mungo Jerry........Lady Rose

Also Mungo Jerry - but, 'In The Summer Time'.

 

First album was Monty Python's Matching Tie and Handkerchief. I played it dozens of times before I found the 'hidden' track on the B side.

My folks bought our first record player, a Dansette, around 1960. I was a Shadows fan back then, so my first single was possibly Apache.

 

My dad tried to counter my vulgar taste with someone called Jimmy Shand.
