Mine was Lola by The Kinks and it was 6/8 which meant in old money you could get three for a pound! Nostalgia!! |

I bought a Four Tops record off my mate at school. It was an import Motown single "That's the way love is". I think I paid 6/- or 30p
It was around 1972/73
I think singles then were around that price in the shops.
I remember the birth of the Glam Rock era and bought Slade, T Rex and Sweet singles too.
I soon moved onto Led Zepplin though and from there onto the electric blues scene  |

Yes mate and I'm happy to have experienced the changing times, both from the music point of view to the fast pace that technology has moved on. Great times |

Why? Is it of any consequence? Are you totally truthful in your missive? |

Honesty is important to me. I don't like being lied to. And yes, I am absolutely truthful. In fact I've been encouraged to take information that may put some people off out of my profile text but I've left it there because it's true.
Why should I not be honest? I'm a great person so I have no need to lie. People can take me, the real me, or leave me. I'm not going to tell lies about who I am. |

My first single was also by David Essex. I asked the woman in Woolworths "Hold Me Close, please". She came from behind the counter and hugged my embarassed 8 year old bones. |

lol 81 i think =-O"
They're actually up to No 83!!!
My first album was Now That's What I Call Music 3, cost me £2.99, but I then bought 1 & 2, thinking they would stop at 4. I actually had 1-20 on vinyl and the rest up to about 70 on CD, then when I left my ex, he refused to give me any of my music collection of over 400 CDs and 100 vinyl albums back (amongst other things), so it seemed pointless continuing to collect them after that.
My first single was Run Around Sue by Racey (late 70s?) cost me 39p.  |

The first record I bought was for my Mum. It was the VanDerValk theme by the Simon Park Orchestra and, if I remember right, Wollies used to sell 45rpm singles for 39p in 1972 (again, I think...).
But..... that was in return for me getting two years earlier - and after a previous two years of pestering - .... Sgt Peppers! When it came out, my sister got it and I was mesmerised as a 6 yr old, hearing 'Within you and Without you' wafting from her bedroom.....Right on Man!!!

10cc - Rubber Bullets.
I was 11 (I think) and that was 1972. I remember it well, as my Dad wholly disapproved of me wasting money on 'them fancy music things!' and he smashed in in temper......

First album I remember buying was Adam and the Ants - Prince Charming.
Already had the previous album, but I didn't buy it personally.
First single I had bought me was Bay City Rollers - Bye Bye Baby, I was a toddler and apparently shut right up no matter what I was doing as soon as I heard it. |

First single I bought myself was Turning Japanese by The Vapours, think it might have been 79p or 99p.....
First albums I had bought for me were Christmas pressies, Boomtown Rats - Fine Art of Surfacing, Blondie - Parallel Lines and Police - Regatta de Blanc
Could get a good half dozen singles on my record player before they started to slip and slide round |
