    In the early 60s
    I remember winding the gramophone
    Playing poetry in motion
    Then my first record was bought in the early 60s
    I feel fine by the Beatles

    First single i actually went to a shop and bought was Don't Cry For Me Argentina by Julie Covington. My Mam sent me up Charlie Butt's in Concord to get it for her.

    First record I bought for myself was the Black Sabbath album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Think I bought it in 1978, and cost 89p.
    Still got it, still play it, and still my favourite Sabbath album.

    The first single that I bought was 'Rubber Bullets' (10cc), which has 'stood the test of time' and my first 78 was the iconic 'Band on the Run' which needs no explanation (I've got it on yellow vinyl) . . . . my 2 favourite songs on that are 'Bluebird' and 'Picasso's last words (Drink to Me)' which some may not have listened to before, so here it is :emoticon-0148-yes:

    First 2 CDs I ever owned were 2 Unlimited 'No Limits' and Bitty McLean 'just to let you know' which I got for Xmas as part of my 'big present' which was a ghetto blaster! One of those albums stood the test of time, I'll let you guess which :emoticon-0136-giggl.

    First CD I ever walked up to the counter and bought with my own pocket money, from Chester-le-street Woolworths, the single of Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex. Definitely not one I still listen too!
