Bridget The Midget by Ray Stevens … 1970 I think!

 

 

 

Seen the movie... ????

First single was Teenage Kicks by The Undertones (1978)

 

The first album I bought (after lots of pleading to my mother to cough up the cash) was One Step Beyond by Madness (1979)

Just as important is what did you play it on? Who was rich and their parents had a radiogram. A wooden piece of furniture containing the record player and radio.

my minds eye, small faces. great band, they played in salisbury a few times in the 60's.

saw humble pie and met stevie when he played in "a packet of three" in verdis weymouth, 85/86?

A small aside...

 

Sad news about Florian Schneider from Kraftwerk who passed away yesterday.

 

One of the greatest and most influential bands ever.

Come on....Rolling Stones, when, a long long time ago .the good times,,,before the Virus????

When I need to get some serious work done, I put on Autobahn.

Darkside of the Moon in '73 right when it came out.  Still have it in plastic, thicker vinyl than my other records.

Mid 50's and most likely Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock.

1968.  Loving You Has Made Me Bananas.  Guy Marks. 

 

 

 

How Come - Ronnie Lane

Peter Gunn, Duane Eddy 1959?

Eddy did release his version of Henry Mancini's Peter Gunn in 1959 as a single. The original Mancini was also released in 1959 though it was actually recorded in 1958.

I saw this thread last night and thought back - I spent all night singing it in my head - arrrgghhh!

 

 

I think it was on Pye or Phillips records - I think I played it non-stop back in the day. 

Can not remember ever buying one......... I do know the 1st 8 track I bought 'The Monkees' guess about 1967 or 8, for my car.

"Apache" The Shadows, 1960, I was 11 then.

T-rex .Ride a white swan

Blues Brothers also did it

 

It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, a half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses." "Hit it!"

1963. Swinging Blue Jeans... "The Hippy Hippy Shake". B side was "(I hurt you so) Now I must go"????????????????

Madness

House of fun.

 

Still got it in a box in the uk along with lots of albums . Might have to buy a record player again one day.

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.

I once took the Magic bus from Brussels to Felixstowe and the driver played Max Bygraves all the way - a nightmare I still remember 60 years later!

I hope you are not suggesting that Felixstowe was a nightmare ?   ????

Goodbye T’Jane - Slade ( 1972 ).

My grandad gave me a mono record player which was pretty neat ( for ‘72 ???? ) the lid doubled as the speaker. 

Wore it out in my bedroom........... and the single ????

Rock Island Line by Lonnie Donegan (1956 ish)

There yer go.  I was waiting 'till the end to say  Cumberland Gap  , Lonnie Donegan about 1958. Although it may of been Jack of diamonds , same chap , same year.

Who's Next album not a single.

 

I never owned records until.....during my second year at Uni (mid 70's) I distributed flyers for a Record Club(remember those?).  The flyers had my code on them and when someone joined the club using my flyer I got either 1$ or an album.  I took albums every time.  I think the first one was Who's Next.  It was an excellent first choice.  Since I didn't own a record player I had to wait until my landlord was out to use his.

 

When I left Canada for the USA a decade later, my friend inherited my "free" collection because CD's were available by then.
