Beatles. Capitol 45 record: "I Wanna Hold Your Hand".

This, of course, makes me approximately 397 years old. :D



OMG! Same 45 for me! Flip side was "Saw Her Standing There."

First album was Beatles "Meet the Beatles" - wore that sucker OUT!

Boomtown Rats 'The Fine Art of Surfacing'. I loved 'I Don't Like Mondays'. it might have been ELO's Discovery though. One i bought new, the other from a friend and I can't remember which came first.

yes, they were vinyl, but i'm only 347 years old.

I had two older brothers so I seldom needed to buy any album or 45 until I was much older, say a teeager. But back in 1964 (I was 9) my mom bought me an album. I forget the name of the grouple, but underneath their name it said "with the BEETLE BEAT" :ph34r: Dudes looked like the beatles and sounded vaguely like the Beatles. My poor clueless mom was trying to buy me a Beatle album. God bless her!B| I miss ya mom! (been deceased since 1983)

Holy crap! It's been so long ago... I'd say, it's a toss-up between: a 45-RPM of Carl Perkins: "Blue Suede Shoes" or a 45-RPM of 4 Gospel songs by Elvis Presley. I bought them both with money froum my paper route. :D
I always thought, Elvis was a better Gospel singer.;)

I remembered another one- my dad brought home Joy to the World (Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog) for all of us kids! Funny- he really was more of a classical music kind of guy but he took me to my first concert and brought our first "rock" music home!

My first 45 I remember buying was the Dukes of Hazzard theme song. B| I was a little annoyed the record didn't end with the "Yaaa Hooo!!!" like on the show.

I still remember the B-side was a song called "Come with me" by Waylon Jennings.

First record I remember listening to was "Happy Birthday Randy" it was one onf those paper thin ones you had to put pennies on and they said your name in the song. I was so impressed my parents made me a record. ;)

When I was 8 years old, my parents gave my brothers & me The Beatles "She Loves You" 45, and it was da bom. Some years later we got the "Magical Mystery Tour" LP for Xmas. With my own money, I bought "Cheap Thrills" by Janis Joplin when I was 12 years old. Saw her live about 8 months later, just that one time.

I had the "Ghostbusters" record (the single, by Ray Parker, Jr.), and the "Jump for my Love" single by the Pointer Sisters. I wore them both out. :D



Are you even old enough to have listened to those? I think I was in 4th grade when those were on the charts.

First 8-track: Dumb Ditties
First 45 - Ghost Stories
First cassette: Can't remember, but it was either a copy of Inner Sanctum (old time radio show), Pronounced by Skynard, the first Heuy Lewis Tape or No Jacket Required. Before that I just made mix tapes by placing a tape recorder up against a speaker and taking stuff off the radio.
First CD: (I refused to go CD's until college) Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Operation Mindcrime and Ride the Lightning all on the same day.
