The first one I got was "Go Now " by The Moody Blues"
What was yours ???

RkayD 08-05-2011 01:12 PM

I'm not sure it was the first one I bought but it definitely was the one I loved the most. I played my Donny Osmond album every night before I went to sleep..my mom would come in and turn off my record player.. =) I still have it. I really wanted to take it with me to Vegas and have him sign it. How cool would that be??

It's My Party- Leslie Gore. You know, this is going to show how old we are LOL Still love the Golden Oldies. Of course they weren't "oldies" when I was listening to them. They were trash that was going to corrupt the younguns occording to the older folks.

My first thought was my Donny Osmond album as well - "Puppy Love"

texpat45 08-05-2011 01:21 PM

Oh, I loved the Moody Blues! My first were Elvis Presley records..."Heartbreak Hotel", "Hound Dog". I had every 45rpm record and every long play album he made!! Then, the Beatles came along and I was hooked on just about anything British! Rolling Stones, too. Then my very favorite band ever - Led Zeppelin! I always said I would leave home for Robert Plant...still would...we're about the same age!!!

sweet 08-05-2011 01:31 PM

My first 45 that I bought with all pennies was "White Room" by Cream.

sweet 08-05-2011 01:31 PM

Dating myself....Teen Angel 45rpm

3incollege 08-05-2011 01:38 PM

It probably was the Monkeys. can't remember the title.
I remember though saving my money to buy "Jesus Christ Superstar". I could walk to National Record mart. So my collection really got big. When I moved out, my Mother sold most of them.

I guess I must be too old to remember. :oops:

katier825 08-05-2011 01:43 PM

Queen - Bohemian Rapsody. I still enjoy those songs 35 years later. :)

zennia 08-05-2011 01:44 PM

Elvis- Hound Dog. Played it over and over

donnajean 08-05-2011 01:56 PM

I'm almost 68 & have no idea. I know I was in my mid 20's before I bought a record.

dkaz 08-05-2011 02:13 PM

John Denver-Back Home Again. I think that was the name of it...

Debbie in Lodi

AlwaysQuilting 08-05-2011 02:14 PM

My first was "the Three Bells" by the Browns
And I still love hearing "Go now" by the Moody Blues.

hobo2000 08-05-2011 02:15 PM

Oh boy, this will date me. Bill Haley rock around the clock

annyroony2 08-05-2011 02:25 PM

Elvis' "Love me Tender"

Kimkankwilt 08-05-2011 02:27 PM

The Beatles - Lady Madonna 45....

crafty_linda_b 08-05-2011 02:28 PM

I think Simon & Garfunkle "Homeward Bound" because it reminded me of my DH when he was in the Navy. He would ride the bus home on weekends from the base when they were in port. Geez..I loved the Supremes too..."Baby Love" was my favorite. I know I still have a box with all the 45's my DH bought me when we were dating. They are antiques now *L*

Does anyone remember 78's????????
Rosemary Clooney----Come on to My House???
Still have them......

dogpursemaker 08-05-2011 02:31 PM

My first "big girl" record was a 45-"Puppy Love" by Donny Osmond. I remember playing it hours on end-with my door shut! I of course had many other children's 45s.

My kids love the oldies! They beg me to play the Malt Shop CDs in everytime we go somewhere! They live again :lol:

The Four Tops version is the one I remember - I loved all Tamla Motown - But it was written and evidently a hit by a group called The Left Bank but I don't remember that version.

I think it was Deep Purple “Machine Head.” I ended up swapping it for a Sean Phillips album.

I remember 78's, although I never had any myself. Can't remember which was my first record. I do remember in the summer, walking 3 miles to downtown to browse and finally decide which 45 to get, and then walk back. I lost 10 lbs. that summer. Boy, that was back in the day! I still love the walk, but my back won't let me.

sylvia77 08-05-2011 03:05 PM

Mine was Machine Head by Deep Purple.

blueangel 08-05-2011 03:08 PM

Elvis Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel. That was the start of a huge Elvis collection.

0tis 08-05-2011 03:15 PM

Records? Just saying that dates us - I don't remember when I bought a record but the first one I remeber listening to was the Monkees - I used to sit for hours and listen over and over again. In fact, now the song is running through my head.

I go To The Sea To Breathe 08-05-2011 03:42 PM

Hound Dog for me also, my record player shorted out and started smoking and mt Dad came running in and took the record off and threw it in trash. He said he never wanted tosee an Elvis record in his house again. My next sister of course had all of his albumns. She was 7years younger. The next sister was 12 yrs younger and shewas a real hippy. Elvis was so much nicer than the next ones that came along. than the baby sister, 15 yrs younger did whatever she wanted.LOl

My DH has a collection of over 4200 albumns, and has them all sorted and knowswhichones he has etc. our kids grew up listening to all the golden oldies and singing along with them.

akrogirl 08-05-2011 03:49 PM

My first record was the album "Black is Black" by Los Bravos. My parents let my brother and I pick one record each the day we got our first stereo system.

Bueniebabe 08-05-2011 03:51 PM

Soldier Boy sung by Little Peggy March. I still have all the 45's I bought in the 60's. All the Beatles records, Elvis. Then there were the LP's, 8 track, cassettes, and now the cd's. The Ventures, Herb Albert. I remember you could buy a 45 for a dollar. Stupid me did not keep the paper case they came in with the artist picture on. Memories Memories Memories! My mother always called it Jungle music. I am 62.

samifel 08-05-2011 03:55 PM

Can't Buy Me Love by the Beatles

leaha 08-05-2011 03:57 PM
