Mine was The Platters, The Great Pretender. I bought the 45 and then when the 78 albums came out I bought it and actually wore the record out to nothing. I do have a CD that I am playing right now.
My Great Grandmother had a record player that you had to wind up, up in her attic. I would go there for 2 weeks in the summer and play the records.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES !!!!

Venus by Frankie Avalon or Pat Boone can't remember the title it was soooo long ago

"I heard it through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye. My sisters and I wore a hole in the living room carpeting dancing to this song.

It was a 45 RPM record of He's So Fine by the Chiffons (doo lang doo lang) lol! O my gosh, showing my age...must have been early to mid 1960s :).

I can't really remember the first record I bought, but I have 3 popcorn tins full of memories, both originally mine & flea mkt / yard sale finds. :-P

Well, in 2nd grade I received my first record player. I played Rock around the Clock on a 33rpm. I think these were birthday gifts. Don't remember when or what I first purchased.

"That's Why" by Pat Wayne (John Wayne's son) never made it big - but boy was he a good looking teenster!
Second one was Van Cliburn playing Tchaikovsky

I got love in my tummy...lol

OK...mine was a Brenda Lee album called Grandma What Great Songs You Sang! On it were old songs like..Pennies from Heaven, Baby Face, I'm Sorry and Crying Time Again!


I wore that album out completely!

Aw :-)
