Morning! Hmmmmm...If I can remember that far back, I think mine was Black Night by Deep Purple (influenced by my big bruv😊)
Happy Saturday ☺
Oh dear..... that was soooo long ago. Possibly Duran Duran in the eighties!!!! 🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶
morning Sylvi, this is great gets the morning cobwebs moving.
I'm not sure which was first, it was either 'So you win again' by Hot Chocolate or The Real Things ' You to me are Everything' 1977 I think. The charts then were on a Tuesday lunchtime Radio1, I use to be ill on that day, sit with my oh so huge radio cassette recorder taping pressing stop,rewinding, press play stop press pause and GO tape the next one repeat. Then Id write them down, next day go to school and tell everyone,lol. Makes me laugh now,I was 13/14.
Aww hot chocolate i see them at the maltings in Ely when i was oh so young and Errol brown well what can i say about him,he is the most sexiest man i have ever seen on a stage.xxxxxxx
Sylvi he has the most gorgeous glint on his eyes
He could give you an orgasim just watching him on stage.xxxx
Oh you are naughty.....but I like you!
If you have seen him live you would understand Cathy he oozed sex darling.xxxxx
Ooooo that's a hard one at this time in the morning, I think it was ' The young ones ' by Cliff Richard around 1965 . It was a record to play on my dander record player.xx
Ops that should have been danset record player!!!!!!!!
Hi good morning mine were Jimmy osmond long haired lover from Liverpool and Lena zavaroni mama he's making eyes at me! Lol x
Dare I say The Bay City Rollers.....I was VERY young and I live in Scotland! 😂😂😂
Nice one...think mine was Butterfly Ball along with Simon & Garfunkel yikes does that give me away too much!!
OH I love Simon and Garfunkel still do.
Waiting for 'sound of the 60's' to start at 8am on radio 2. I listen every week and it sure does bring back memories.x
I love Sounds of the Sixties 😊
Also listen to Graeme Norton (he makes me laugh) and Love Songs -Steve Wright on a Sunday....Yay for Radio 2 😀
Morning playmates!
It would have been around 1970/ 71 and I got myself a Saturday job helping out in my aunts catering business.When I had saved up enough I went and bought myself a little record player and the first record I bought to go with it was "me and you and a dog named Boo" by Lobo.
As it was the only record I had at the time it was played over and over and over and over-you get the picture. Much to the annoyance of the other occupants in the house.Mum then went and bought me another record - it was something by the New Seekers - can't remember which one it was now.
But I still have all my old records and my little red record player up in the attic after all these years.- probably explains why our attic is bulging at the seams .I am a proper hoarder.
Have a good day all.

I loved me and you and a dog named boo. Oh happy days.xxxx
Weren't they indeed?
I then went on to buy a new record every week with some of my wages much to everyone's relief,as they didn't have to listen to "me and you and dog named Boo"about 50 times a day anymore.--lol

My Mum bought me a Shirley Bassey record [fantastic artist] but for a teenager!!! xx
May have been a gentle hint Smithfield.Had you been incessantly playing the same record over and over ?
How are you feeling today?

The pushbike song by Mungo Jerry...now that takes me back to being a teenager once more...lovely days
Bridge over troubled water.
Hi All. I remember my first single purchased was by the Bee Gees - Massachusetts. My first LP was Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich Greatest Hits - I wonder how many of you are old enough to remember their songs Zabadack & Bend It!!
What lovely memories we all have,and how we have an idea of peoples generations. I'm in the older category, Lily the pink by Scafold went to number 1in 1968. I also remember trying to tape the top 20 on my radio cassette and getting annoyed everytime my dad moaned saying " this isn't real music " and spoiling my recording! I'm sure over the last 20 years I've said the same thing to my children about their music tastes, something I swore never to do in the 60s/70s . Hope everyone has a lovely weekend Linda
Ha ha ha - mirrors my memories to a tee.
At one point I even took my tape recorder out and sat in the car to do recordings,I thought I had got it licked but the radio was crackly and it started to get cold by the Autumn so that soon stopped.
I'm sounding more like my mother every day,as a teenager something I swore I would never do.

Do any of you remember Juliet by the Four pennies. I went out for a while with the drummer of that group. X
"Friday on my mind" by the Easybeats
Hi all, lovely to read everyone's memories. My first record was Pass the Duchy by Musical Youth, I remember sitting in front of my record player paying it incessantly, much to the annoyance of my brothers 😂😂
The one I remember going out to buy was Tracey by the Cufflinks! Played it on a shared by my sister, Dansette record player, which was orange. Happy days.
Buddy Holly and the Crickets (That will be the day) does that really age me ?
Regards Mike
Hi Sylvi, good morning to you, the first record was She Loves You by the Beatles. I bought it in Liverpool after bunking off school with two friends to go and see the Beatles come back to Liverpool. It was July 10th 1964, it was wonderful, thing was though, I didn't have a record player.
Not had chance to read your other replies but mine was All Right Now by Free.
Aww i loved that record and hawkwind silver machine.xxxxx
Mine was Sunday Girl by Blondie.
Cannot remember. But I do remember the excitement of going into the record shop with friends and all these boxes of records you could flick through then choose. It felt so grown up and part of a crowd.
Like Dillydriver I got a Danset record player for Christmas.
Nice on Sylvie. xxx
Along with the lovely records memory. Does anyone remember lying in a bath for ages to shrink their jeans.
Cannot even get in a bath these days.! x
I can so relate to that!!! Xx
Oh yes, then lying on the floor & employing the use of a coat hanger to help pull the zip up, happy days. Our bath is redundant now too!
Reply probably because we abused them in our teens. But it felt reckless and certainly something the parents would never do or never understand.
Ah those were the days my friend.

I feel so old.........Bachelor Boy by Cliff Richard in 1963!
Morning all
Mine was either Blondie Heart of Glass or the Specials Too Much too Young. Think it was Blondie.
Both still top tunes! Quite pleased because if I had been able I probably would have bought something like the smurf's song (Father Abraham?) or something by the Baron Knights.
And to this day I had never realised the play on words that Baron Knights is. Oh the innocence of youth.
Happy days.

1959 I think. Cliff Richard and the Shads Living Doll. I was so in love with him. One day I annoyed my younger Brother and he flushed all my pics of Cliff down the toilet😭 Still bitter to this day😀
That was mine as well living doll and I felt so grown up though I still played with my dolls though I was 11 year old memories x
The first record I bought was She Loves You by the Beatles, in 1964. I was 9 - I think I used birthday money to pay for it.
Gosh I feel late to the party but mine was This flight tonight by Nazareth 
xx
This is such a lovely idea so many memories have flooded back reading all the replies. I was a bit naughty with my first record. It was getting near christmas and after having a snoop around I found a record player in the cupboard in my parents bedroom, I knew it would be for me as my two brothers were too yound. I save all my pocket money for a few weeks and bought 3 records! Jesmine by the Casuals, Eloise by Barry Ryan and The Good The Bad and The Ugly by Hugo Montenegro ! By the time it was christmas I had eight records Have a lovely Saturday everyone.
Wow so looking paid off. You naughty girl.x
Morning, or should I say nearly afternoon! My first single was Iron Maiden - The Evil That Men Do 😀..... It was 1988 and I was 13 at the time. My first love of getting into rock music at the time - much to the annoyance of my parents xx
Well I had to think a bit but I can remember being very young and there was a duo called Peter and Gordon. They sang this song called 'please lock me away'. It made a great impression on me and was only about 6! But my absolute group was the Walker Brothers and I was in love with Scott. I still get goose bumps if I hear 'The Sun ain't Gonna Shine Anymore'.
WOw i am surprised at the reaction i have got today,isn't it nice to have something feelgood.xxxxxx
Certainly brings back memories. I always associate music with certain people or situations. For instance the theme from Shaft still makes me feel sick as I was going through morning sickness with my first son!! Bit like Pavlov and his dogs I suppose!
Hi all I'm going to show my age now. The one i remember buying with birthday money was Little White Bull by Tommy Steel. That was back in the late fifties I believe. The next one was sang by George Fame But cannt remember the title It was his first record, and my mam said i didnt think you would buy that one but couldnt give me a reason why.
Hugs to all. XXX
Chris
I remember little white bull
I remember little white bull and the locomotion by little eva i was a little girl at the time.xxxxx
Hi, my first record I bought was The Beach Boys... Barbra Ann, if I remember rightly. X
Why the BayCity Rollers "Saturday Night" 1974. I was 8 yrs old, and I was in love
I'm going to show my age here - Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon (when it was first released)
Mine was a Billie Holliday that doesnt reflect my age though. I think one of the first really contemporary records I bought was Jimmy Cliffe something out of Harder they Come -
Hi sylve, I must be really old. Harry Seacombe On With The Motley( not really a lover of classical music).Then my mum and went to see Grace Kelly in High Society and my Dad went in the front room and learnt all the words to True Love. Anyway Sylve I heard a little story yesterday. A young girl got married and when she came home she rung her mum and said the honeymoon was great, but please come and get me because he keeps using 4 letter words. After her mum kept asking why she pleaded, please, please come and get me I cannot stand the 4 letter words. What words said her mum. Wash Iron and Cook. Good, thought that might cheer you up. Take care
I was away on Saturday so missed this. My first RECORD was Mat Munroe, Mona Lisa. On second thoughts it was something to do with Around the world. I am probably so much older than most of you 70 in June but only just diagnosed with this awful disease. I love this site as you are all so helpful. X
Cuts & scrapes - what antiseptic can stand up to all these drugs?
Don't give up get help
I am wondering what else I can get? 
Can we stop this madness
having a catch up day :)
