Your first 7" single

[jim8flog]

The only one I can remember buying was Pink Floyd - Arnold Lane. Prior to that I used to save my money to buy LPs
Shortly after buying it my parents sold the gramophone and bought a tape recorder.
I did have a good collection of Tamla Mowtown and Stax around the same time but they were donated to me.


I had a brother and sister older than me and they bought all the pop stuff.

Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson

"Snoopy vs The Red Baron" by The Royal Guardsmen.

I had a childhood, did no one else here have one?

Yup. Little Donkey. Although it was recorded 4 years before I was born so not sure why it was my choice!

You are not alone.
Mine was also The Shadows - in this case Shazam! Must have been about 7 years old.
Curiously, I just looked it up and it seems that Shazam was the B-side to Geronimo, but I always thought it was the A-side.

"Shazam" by Duane Eddy was the first record I ever played on a juke box at the fairground at South Shields

Don't think I ever bought singles. First album was probably Joan Jetts I Love Rock n Roll

Anyone Who Had A Heart by Cilla Black. Good grief!

My last was a version of Jersey Girl by Bruce. My preferred version. Still got it but nothing to play it on!

I have a stack of singles and LP's in the garage but haven't had a record player for years. One day I'll get rid of them.

[rulefan]

The first record I bought was a Vocalion 78. Pinetop Smiths's "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie"

 

[Steve Wilkes]

I remember it clearly, 1973 50p from a record shop in Deptford High Street during school lunchtime - Going Home by The Osmonds, It's on a playlist in the car and comes up every month or two, What the people in the cars around me must think, I couldn't hazard a guess.
LP was a few years later 'The Incredible Shrinking Dickies' by The Dickies, an 100mph punk classic
