vWhat Is The First Record You Ever Bought Or Were 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.

That very same record, Dee, was my first record, too, but my mother bought it for me. It was some kind of promotional offer. Maybe they were even giving them away. This would have been about 1962.

After that, I always bought 45's from the used (from old jukeboxes) displays. Of course the more popular they were, the more worn they were.:)

There are two very memorable songs early 70's. I got in a world of trouble for using one of the songs, in a dance audition for a show from my school. I'm not sure if I bought it or my dance partner bought it, but, innocent good girl me, (back then), was never looked at the same again, at least for a while. Sigh. The other was a Stevie wonder song which I did for sure buy, Superstition. . Anyway, the song was along the lines of the Donna Summer Love to love you baby, I guess it was the moaning sounds that set people off, well the dance didn't help either, but, I was just into the beat, not the words, I was young hadn't any clue how utterly wrong that music was for the situation. Though sometimes I did just want to act up a bit ever so often. LOL!

 
My first record was same as Dee's..a Beatles 45. My girlfriend and I took a bus downtown to a little hole in the wall record shop. The man woukd play records on a turntable for you. I think singles were 99 cents.

That was the first record I bought too. And then every Beatles album after that! I was so crazy about them I was sure Paul was going to come to the US and marry me. Awww...to be young and believe anything is possible again! th (4).jpg
