Oh dear. Mine was The New Seeker’s, I’d like to teach the world to sing. Me and my older brother bought LPs together. We bought Hunky Dory and he went to University and stole all our collection.
Turners in Brid was quite a place years ago. Remember when little old lady Tina, big fan of Ronnie Hilton (the pillock born in Hull who showed how proud he was of his roots by being a Leeds United fan);and a leader of his fan club, used to let us sit in booths all afternoon listening to things we had no intention of buying. Remember spending all one Saturday afternoon listening to a Big Bill Broonzy album with a mate who was a blues fanatic and then Astral Weeks which confirmed my opinion after liking Them that Van Morrison was a great singer. It was owned by Bramham who owned half the shops in Brid centre.
"Diana" by Paul Anka. Superb sax embedded in the piece.
I was long gone from Driff by the time that came into existence but as far as I'm aware it was off middle St where the abattoir used to be(central Driffield).I'll ask my Cousin,later today,as he was there at the time and it was him that actually told me about that album(was it bummed)?
GFAW will maybe know as he's from Driffield.
My cousin told me a story about Bez,outside the studio,getting in between some Driffield youths and some squaddies from the nearby barracks(always went on).Told them all to calm the **** down and passed some 'chill pills' around...My cousin says to this day he has no idea what it was but he's never experienced anything like it since....
I think the guy was called Sugarman.
Bought for me - She Loves you. First album bought for me - John Wesley Harding, Bob Dylan.
Cannot remeber exactly the first single I bought, like many on here i had moved to albums, in my mid 20,s I bought My Baby Just Cares For Me, Nina Simone. First Album, one of Bowies but not sure which.
One I wish I had kept, this charming man 12" single. The morning after I was asked, awww please can I keep this?

Crazy Horses by the Osmonds - bit embarrassing
I think my fist album was actually a compilation thing from Grandways, but I can’t remember what was on it.
The first proper album I got myself was The Clash, by The Clash, which inspired me so much I got a guitar and learned to play every song on it.
This was followed by Scream by Siouxsie and the Banshees and Another Music In A Different Kitchen by The Buzzcocks.
The first single I remember buying was Lovely Day by Bill Withers, which I bought as a present for my sister, from the market.

The story is in line with this Ric, 1988 second summer of love and Tony Wilson got the drugged up Mondays away from the Hacienda to record but they needed a supply of the new ecstasy tablets, ibiza now directly connected to Manchester, New Order recording Technique in Ibiza that summer etc, Tony Wilson shipping the new tablets in his briefcase on the train to Driffield so through Hull Paragon, Shaun Ryder, Bez, Martin Hannett et al, raving on Driff high street!I was long gone from Driff by the time that came into existence but as far as I'm aware it was off middle St where the abattoir used to be(central Driffield).I'll ask my Cousin,later today,as he was there at the time and it was him that actually told me about that album(was it bummed)?

I got a selection of singles with my first ever record player (a fidelity portable) - I can't quite remember them all but they included Lucille (Everly Brothers), Dreamin' (Johnny Burnett), Bad Boy (Marty Wilde), Only The Lonely (Roy Orbison) and The Night Has a 1000 eyes (Bobby Vee). There was an EP - Heartbeat by Buddy Holly and two LPs - one was an Embassy compilation of Elvis Presley songs which was OK but some of the singers weren't up to much. The real killer in this group though was a 10 inch LP by...........Dickie Valentine! Obviously my mum's choice. I don't have the LPs now but all of the singles and the EP are still with me. First record I bought myself was an EP - Please Please Me by the Beatles.
We used to buy all of our records from the Crescent Library in Hessle where the man in charge was called Colin - he seemed quite old, was nearly blind and had an encyclopaedic knowledge of music. A lovely man.

Say you’ll be there by the Spice Girls , before you judge me , remember I was 13 and go watch the video …
You are right about the slaughterhouse / butchers shop link, but it was back of what is now Hotel 41 (previously Lances, Hooters night club).I was long gone from Driff by the time that came into existence but as far as I'm aware it was off middle St where the abattoir used to be(central Driffield).I'll ask my Cousin,later today,as he was there at the time and it was him that actually told me about that album(was it bummed)?

Was owned by Russell Webster.
Interesting googling it and reading some of the stories!
He probably didn't like you gobbing on him.
Best album bought by me...So many, but 'Who's Next' has to be right up there at No 1.
Absolute classic, though I say it myself...

Remember the guy well. Him and his son. The old fellow always checked the quality of the Vinal like he was on the antique roadshow. Had good chats with his son whilst we went through the punk/new wave box. Remember coming across the Pork Dukes , telephone masterbater single. Son said “ don’t let my dad see that one…
First single Sparks “ this town ain’t big enough for the both of us.
Album i think was Slade by Slade
First band I really got into The Jam
