Egluntyne Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Fab Lesley. The first record I ever bought was the Hippy Hippy Shake by the Swinging Blue Jeans. Funny how this sort of detail sticks in your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Ultravox's Vienna must have been out in my first year at uni. We used to sing "This means nothing to me ...... Eeeeconomics" - must have seemed funny at the time . Wow, I remember The Bump - not heard that for a long time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Always amazes me how lyrics to songs you haven't heard for years and years are still in there as soon as you hear it again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Some great laughs there - I can just imagine Christian dancing along with his choice My favourites so far are also Hotel California and Vienna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Some great ones there We always used to have Hotel California as one of the slowies at school hops (disco). This was my first ever record I was about 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 My parents or my friends bought me my first records - parents bought the New Seekers album for me (nice safe stuff) and my friend bought me Gary Glitter Rock & Roll Parts 1 and 2 (more like it). My Dad's boss bought me Yes - Fragile - he was much more in tune with what I liked. The first record I bought for myself was Alice Cooper - School's Out The first CD I bought was Rumors - Fleetwood Mac The first download I bought was How You Remind Me - Nickelback I think I'm probably a bit of a "rocker" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 This was the first single I bought. According to Wikipedia it was released in 1984 which is a bit odd as I was 2 years old then Now either Wikipedia is wrong (surely not!) or it was re released later in the 80's. I reckon I was about 8/9 when I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your son has excellent taste Lesley I have all of those, two on 12" I can't remember my first single There's a bit of confusion at the start of my record collection between some Bee Gees stuff, ELO's Turn to Stone and Nick Lowe cracking up. Then it descends into heavy metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
