Great idea Pooh ........ 8)

I think, it was a hell of long time ago, but I think it was
Telstar by The Tornado’s.

It would have been 1962 and I would have been a carefree 10 year old

 

[chris.ph]

mine was kung fu fighting by carl douglas

 

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

Ahem... Donny Osmond "Puppy Love"

 

[Tonyblack]

First (and only) single was Greg Lake - I Believed in Father Christmas.
First album - Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Tarkus.

First album I ever owned (was bought for me) - Songs from Winnie the Pooh.

 

[Kladivo]

I'm not that bad when it comes to singles, as I was already 15 and got myself Dancing With Tears in my Eyes - Ultravox

First record - Afterburner from ZZ Top.

But there were cassettes before that although you wouldn't know the artists so I'm safe anyway

 

[The_Discworldaholic]

cant remember the name of the record but i do remeber i brought it cause it had a picture of alice in wonderlands tea party with alice and the mad hatter on it, dont even know what the name of the label was, but i was very young.

 

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

First 45 Donny, of course

First Album bought FOR me: The Chipmunks sing The Beatles

First Album I bought: The Partridge Family

 

[Dotsie]

I know that my first single was Prince Charming by Adam and the Ants (I still think Ant music rocks ). Have no idea what my first album was. Probably something grungey (I can only hope).

 

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

Not only is AdamAnt very Johnny Deppish in his own way, I love his music too. It has a beat that just forces people to wiggle in fun even if they don't particularly like it. heheheh

Rolf Harris wasn't happy about Prince Charming as the tune is actually pinched from Rolf's 1965 song "War Canoe".

All together (Don't you ever)
All together (Don't you ever)
Lean on the paddles (Stop being dandy)
Lean on and lift out, silently (Showing me you're handsome)
All together
All together
Lean on the paddles
Lean on and lift out, silently

War canoe can
Creep along can
Glide along when
When there may be
Enemy near

All together
All together
Lean on the paddles
Lean on and lift out, silently
All together
All together
Lean on the paddles
Lean on and lift out, rapidly
All together
Lean on the paddles
Lean on and lift out, rapidly

War canoe come
Flashing towards us
Crashing towards us
Now we see the
Enemy clear

All together
All together
Fight to kill the
Fight to kill the enemy

Come on and kill the enemy
Come on and kill ...

All together
All together
Lean on the paddles
Lean on and lift out, easily

All together
All together
Lean on the paddles
Lean on and lift out, silently

War canoe can
Splash along can
Sing the song
We know we kept the enemy clear

All together
All together
Lean on the paddles
And bring the war canoe safe home again

mmm mmmm mmmm mmmmm

All together
All together
Lean on the paddles
And bring the war canoe safe home again

mmm mmmm mmmm mmmmm

All together
All together
Lean on the paddles
And bring the war canoe safe home again

Thank you Tony.

Rolf you are forgiven for bastardizing Stairway to Heaven and for the Wobble Board and seeing as I’m in such a good mood for The Stylophone as well.

Listen to this......

First thing I bought myself was only in 1990: very best of elton john.. and i guess i was lost forever after that

 

[Morty]

I thought this was for singles
My first LP was Please Please Me by The Beatles in 1963

And in Sterio as well 8)

Really? you're saying "first records" means only singles? if so it's me who have to

It's says records plural - so it doesn't matter at all, especially as the sizes don't get mentioned

Reading my own quote back you could be forgiven for thinking that married couples were not allowed to reply to this thread

I wasn't feeling myself when I wrote that post.

Probably best not to pick up on that comment either Jan

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Who? Me? Comment? About picking up? :twisted:

No worries on that score - I don't pick up after anyone. I do however subscribe to the Quentin Crisp method of dusting - don't do that either

Waking up in cold, wet, rainy and tonight freezing Manchester for over half a century only leads me to think that I have got all so wrong and you have it oh so right. You’re a lucky Guy Pooh
