kingbunky 3 #27 September 21, 2005 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."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

StevePhelps 0 #29 September 21, 2005 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" 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! I miss ya mom! (been deceased since 1983) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #41 September 21, 2005 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. I always thought, Elvis was a better Gospel singer. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #44 September 21, 2005 My first 45 I remember buying was the Dukes of Hazzard theme song. 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. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

tbrown 26 #48 September 21, 2005 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. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasingBlueSky 0 #49 September 21, 2005 QuoteI 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. 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._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
