I must have played it ten times when I got it home but left it on a chair and my dad sat on it, breaking it in half. He did buy me another one though.

I redeemed myself by buying 'Get outa me 'Ouse' by Hustler in 1974.
Bought you another one?! He did you a favour sitting on it!

Re: The first single you ever bought

I will never forget. It was "River Deep, Mountain High". Had been waiting for the record shop to get it in, paid my money, went off happily, went to buy a stamp at the post office, and walked out without my precious single. Only walked a few yards, flew back but it had gone forever.

With a Boots gift voucher but I didn't have a record player at the time.
My mate's parents had a radiogram though

You are correct rhosyn, it was Embassy. They did cover versions of the originals. Well done for remembering. I had forgotten until you mentioned the name.

I was just getting settled in my secondary school and feeling very grown up. We used to put on records and dance around the back room.

Re: The first single you ever bought

I think I beat you all, The first single record I bought was a sound track of the " Le.Mans 24 hr Race" of I think 1956 ,:

I hear the deathly silence

A soundtrack of a motor race, Norway? What does that consist of then....speeding cars, screaming wheels and burning rubber noises? The mind boggles
