Old Croc Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garro Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Mine was 'Don't stop me' now by Queen - although I have no idea when that was - maybe 1977? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHarries Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 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!

gennisis Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
