As a child i got into music at an early age and loved to listen to the charts each Sunday.
I finally got a record player (god i feel old) one christmas with Slades epic legendary Christmas song.
What was your first single?
I was told i would be bought a single each week and i requested 'Friggin in the Riggin' by the Sex Pistols only to be bought 'Brown girl in the ring' by Boney M lol
Have fun |

It was Benny Hill - Ernie, the fastest milkman in the west. Bought for a Christmas present by my parents along with my all new, super dooper hi fidelity, record player. You know the kind, with the speaker in the lid and the stylus that flipped over from LP to 78. 
The first single that I actually bought myself was My Coo Ca Choo by Alvin Stardust. Cost me 45p and it was on the 'Magnet' label - hows that for a good memory ? |

I love that song still - know all the words too - how sad is that!  "
Same here! My street cred went down a few notches when my Mother bought that for Christmas!
I cringe now when I hear it!  |

"The Skids, Iona, my sis scratched it when we fell out and I cant track down a copy now 
I found it straight away on a 'Best Of the Skids' album  "
Yup so did I but would love to have the original single, to replace the one the witch scratched. |

"Rock On...David Essex
When my mum died we found out she had kept it all those years,its now a cherished item in my memory box."
That was mine as well, well it was the first record i officially bought for myself with a record token i had for christmas.
Before that my mum went to a second hand shop and bought a record player that looked like toaster and it just took singles (dont know what happened to the other one cause we had other records as little kids)
Anyway armed with this record player we went to the shop to buy a record for it and it was T rex sold gold easy action |

I Hate to admit this but its was
The Bare Necessities (Jungle Book)
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard
And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
