Roxanne - surely one of the best singles of the 70s

First one I bought was Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys. It is still one of my favourites (not the 45 rpm that I first bought).

BIG BAD JOHN

Goodbye, Cruel World by James Darren - 1961, I think. It cost the equivalent of 33p.

I actually have that somewhere on tape. Not sure where it is mind you, but I am sure it is around somewhere.

Hiya ruthloss, welcome to senior infants. Frankie goes to hollywood....let's see, 2012, take away 1983, equals.....29 years ago. Why, that's only yesterday! :eek: So you're going to be the cheeky kid then?

Hi Jelly1, nice to be here.
I'll just lurk for a while. and pretend to be all coy, O.K?
.:o

Jellybaby1

Lurk away. We have a Lurker's Lounge here somewhere, we've all been in it at some stage but one by one we dipped our toes in and we all seem to have survived. See you around the threads.

Hippo

T.Rex's Electric Warrior, £2.25 in Pat Egan's Sound Cellar, 1971. Still sounds wonderful.

Hermans Hermits-40p, only because I was a kid with 40p and a second hand record player that my dad had got but no records...lol

In the sixties I used to tape John Peel sessions on a reel to reel tape recorder which cost me a fortune.

Worst thing was the tape deteriorated over time and are inaudible now:(

Thanks for the link, nice site.

Got a recordplayer for my 15th or 16th birthday and bought an Edith Piaf LP! Can't decide if I was precocious or pretentious but she's still one of my all-time favourites.

Did you ever have any regrets about buying that LP?

Berckoise

Not a one! Either I'm consistent or haven't improved at all at all in 50+ years

holy guacamole

Michael Jackson - Bad

Can't remember how much it cost but it was on tape rather than record, never had a record player sadly and most of my early music was on cassette.

Still a great album and arguably his last decent release.
