Mine was Band of Gold in 1970... and equally I played it until it was smooth... I still have that same 45 today in the loft...

Walk Like a Man, 45.
Flip side was an obscure artist, Johnny Cash singing Burning Ring of Fire. Quickly discovered I liked that a lot better than the main side.
Great choice Alli

Hold That Tiger! The LSU band used to play it at the beginning of our football games, the crowd went wild! Mike the tiger, the mascot, a real tiger sadly caged was paraded around and prodded to roar into a microphone.

Growing up I was very lucky. I never had to buy a record. My Dad had a friend named Romeo who filled jukeboxes. When he had to put new ones in he gave me and my sister all the records he had to replace, I still have hundreds and hundreds of 45 records.

My first husband threw away most of my 45 collection (to be mean) but I salvaged at least 300 of
them and play them all the time.
Every week since I was a young teen, I bought the top five of the "Hit Parade".
The first record i bought and played over and over and over was:
Buddy Holly: Side 1: Peggy Sue Side 2: Everyday

My dad had juke boxes…wish we had kept some of those records. We used to spin them at our fence and they would split in half….I actually do’t remember a time without music
Me too, hundreds, all bought by my sister who is five years older so I have the whole rock & roll spectrum!

My first album was Elvis. Was going to buy the Beatles first release, but my Mom talked me into Elvis. Didn't really get into buying many records until I got in the Navy, and had a little disposable income.

After I bought "A Hard Days Night" my brother and I ( well me ) wanted the new Monkeys album so bad I stole it with the other record. At check out they didn't notice, but he store cop had saw us, and began to chase us. We crossed a four lane highway and hid in a supermarket. We saw him come in so we ran out. My brother panicked and gave up. The cop started taking him back to the store so I gave up. Then i told my brother to run. We broke away for awhile until my brother gave up again. That was it. We were with my Grandpa, and he talked the management into giving us a warning rather than sending us to juvenile hall. I still enjoyed the album. A LOT! Crazy!

I certainly do Charry.. and the Boxer which I played over and over again... I had a S&G 8 track Bridge over troubled water, OMG that was played to the death...
I've just been up in the loft and taken photos of my old Red Record box and the 45's in it from 50 years ago..these are all well played originals from when I was a teen..must be 50 or more singles up there.. I never thought to look for Band of Gold .. I should have, but it's up there.. 52 years after I first bought it..
There's not much room up there and even with the light it's still pretty dark so the pictures aren't great..

So, here I am dating myself as per usual since my first record purchase was Glenn Miller's Moonlight Serenade on a 78.
