Mine was 'Don't stop me' now by Queen - although I have no idea when that was - maybe 1977?

the first I bought by myself was , (I am so ashamed now) Ringo Willy Cat , Elle je ne veux qu'elle

The first record I ever bought was for someone else.

As A kid, the Parents gave me a few bob and told me to buy "Little Sister" by Elvis, for my older sister's birthday.

Funnily enough my first record was also by Queen.

It was 'bicycle'.

I must have been about eight I suppose.

I can't say that I'm much of a Queen fan and never bought another of their records after this.

I bought The Best of Jim Croce in 1972

the first I bought by myself was , (I am so ashamed now) Ringo Willy Cat , Elle je ne veux qu'elle

late 30s nidge ?

First big one was "John Wesley Harding - Bob Dylan" (about 1968).

First small one was "Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles" (not long after).

First record was for my mum. Tom Jones "The green green grass of home" 1966.

For me I think it was (LP) The Who "Live at Leeds" 1970. I did buy the single "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath around the same time.

I was a romantic teenager. My first was probably a Roger Williams piano single like "Autumn Leaves" or "Almost Paradise." But as a radio DJ I played Elvis songs and Sheb Wooley's "Purple People Eater."

Now, those were some lyrics:

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line

He said eatin' purple people and it sure is fine

But that's not the reason that I came to land

I wanna get a job in a rock 'n' roll band

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater

Pigeon-toed, under-growed, flyin' purple people eater

We wear short shorts - friendly little people eater

What a sight to see - Ow!

first single was freddie cannon ... way down yonder in new orleans.

first lp was john mayall ... the blues alone , (which is still on my playlist)

I thought this may be interesting if no ones asked it before,. mine was Eden Cane ,Boys Cry, circa 1964 ( i think ) ! his brother was peter sastard of "where do you go to my lovely " fame

1954.....Eddy Calvert...O Mein Papa. The B side was Mystery Street and on the parlophone lable and cost 5 shillings.Bought it at Allens in the Arcade in Bristol. Of course it as an 10" shellac record and my wind-up gramaphone needed a new needle often.

My second record was Frankie Laine ..The Kids last Fight..the B side..Long Distance Love. On the Philips label and cost 5 shillings and five pence.

Being a teenager money was scarce and these 2 records were constanly being played until some more were bought.

Memory is strange...I can recite the words of Long Distance Love even now 54 years later.!!

"I cried a river of ink and a mountain of paper

but that couldnt save my long distance love

I met an old friend from home and he promised to tell her

to tell her I craved for my long distance love"

Ahhhhh, first LP, 1978

Boris Pickett and the Cryptkickers.

No they don't write them like that anymore, they actually manage to write worse.

My first records were songs from Winnie the Pooh and narrative stories told by Danny Kaye.

That was a long time ago.
