ND...that reminds me of an ex boyfriend who told me that his father used to moan at him for playing the Beatles in the 60's...he would say..''She loves me yeah yeah yeah''?. call that music..at least music was music in my day...then my friend discovered that his grandfather used to moan at his father in his youth in the 40's for playing......wait for it.... Bing Crosby!! ''Too-Ra-Loo-Ral too -Ra - Loo -Ra''.... ''Call that music , that's not music'' :D

I was shocked when my dad said he liked one of the Beatles songs. It was an early one 1964 or 65 but I can't remember which one.

My parents listened to the crooners like Sinatra etc.
 
Downtown by Petula Clark. It was my brothers record who was in the service at the time, and he bought it when on leave. Wasn't suppose to touch his things but of course I did.
Ended up sitting on the record and breaking it, therefore buying another. He never knew.
 
I'm sure the first record I likely bought was something you could dance to, I just still can't think what it was, my thoughts go to this song though. It wasn't my first, but, it was the first that came to mind when the thread went up.

 
The first 45 record I ever bought was this one. I think it cost 6s/8d in 1964 (or 3 for a quid)


The first LP I bought was this. Costing, I think, 19s/6d in 1966

I've still got the LP but not the single.
 
My first Stones album.

This is a tough one - I can't quite remember exactly which one was my first. I'm pretty sure it was a 45 ...

Probably a toss-up between "Wedding Bell Blues" (5th Dimension) and "How Sweet It Is" (Marvin Gaye).
 
Oh cookie...another LC Fan...I adore his music..soo many of my friends really dislike it..pagans that they are LOL...

This is my verrrrry favourite..


 
Phil I loved Wedding Belle Blues..a member of 5th Dimension is a personal friend of mine...and even tho' the band doesn't exist any more, i still love to listen to Marilyn and Billy singing it...

Here's a relatively recent version...


 
I bought my first record in the late fifties , from a second hand record stall in the local market. It cost sixpence and was called 'Hoots Mon' ( hope all you Scots appreciate my buy) now, I think it was by a band long forgotten called something like Lord Rockinghams (does this ring any bells with anyone?) Anyway, I certainly thought it was a hoot at the time.
