What Was The Very First Record You Ever Bought?

What Is The First Record You Were Bought Or Given?


Can You Remember…

For me,it was back in early 60′s, i was very much a new Beatles’ fan. I remember their first hit record, actually both sides of the 45 were hits. My father took me down to the record store, and knowing how much i loved this group, and i was only about 14 yrs of age, well anyway dad bought the record “She Loves You” flip side being ” I Wanna Hold Your Hand” for me. I must have played that record at least thousand times! Never forgot that time, but now to this day, i’m not really sure which of my siblings has that record. But, at least i have my memories of this time on my life, and even now, being a zoomer, i still get a thrill when i hear these songs on the oldies station.
And, i often think of this time in my life when dad bought me my first record.

Hi Dee, I'm not certain but it might have been Bill Hayley's "Rock around the Clock". I remember playing it at full blast with all the windows open. It's a wonder the neighbours didn't complain !

All I can remember about it is it was on a cylinder!!

Re: What Was The Very First Record You Ever Bought?

I am ashamed to say the very first record I ever bought was Cliff Richard's "A Girl Like You". It wasn't even my favourite record of his but I had the money and I was determined to buy a record and that is what I ended up with.

Love me Do....by the Beatles. But I did have 3 big sisters so I used to play their records all the time before that.

I was mad on Elvis Presley and I think the first record I bought was One Night With You. Gave me goosebumps because it seemed such a deliciouslly sexy song and it made my dad cross every time I played it. "I ain't never did no wrong" - thats a double negative and there's no such word as ain't, he moaned. He was a stickler for the detail.

The first records I actually bought (as opposed to recorded from Top of the Pops) was Creedence Clearwater Revival's Up And Around The Bend and I also bought, at the same time, Young, Gifted and Black by Bob & Marcia - good old Woolies

Elvis - superb voice

Cant remember my first record - but, it would have been Dusty or Tamla Motown...

Re: What Was The Very First Record You Ever Bought?

Love that Elvis one too and all his music. Strangely enough I never bought any of his records. Maybe because I didn't appreciate them then as I do now. Made up for it since.

I cannot remember the first one I actually bought but I was given a pile of records and LP's when I bought my first record player second hand. Amongst them was a Bobby Vee LP which included The Night has s Thousand Eyes. Loved it.

I was always buying records after that. Creedance Clearwater was one of mine too.
