Do you remember what was your 1st LP (12" vinyl) and single (7" vinyl)?

I was so uncool…(and copying my older cool sister who had just left for college)
1969, maybe?


played on an old AR turntable that an audiophile down the road was getting rid of

It couldn’t stack records!, and had to place/lift the arm myself. so sophisticated

or else the whole forum will be mad at him :grinning_face:

Lots of nearly forgotten (by me) things come up in this thread. 70s music often by groups that were popular for a few years.

Ah, thanks for reminding me - I liked Sailor and they were quite popular in Germany (but during a rather short time)

My first single… I was foremost a Beatles fan (maybe 10 years old?) and just wanted any Beatles disc and I just grabbed what was there at this moment “Get Back” / “Don’t let me down”. A whole LP would have been too expensive at this moment.

An album probably came arpound two years later, but I’m not sure which of those was my first: The Police: Outlandos d’amour", Dire Straits (debut) (I loved “Water of Love” instantly, but the rest took me a bit of time to warm up with, Or Manfred Mann’s Earth Band “Angel Station” Have them all still at my father’s house (but probably in bad state). Listen to the digital counterparts still.

Oh, forgot - my mum once brought me the “Highway to Hell” LP Maybe this was even the first LP I got. At that time, “Touch too much” was played around here in the radio quite often and I loved it.

Because of this thread, I went looking for an original copy and print of the first albume I got. I described it high up in the thread. Its the Devo New Traditionalist LP. Well I found one, the Devo 12" LP that I got when I was a kid. I was actually suprised when I found one with all the extra stuff that came in with the purchase. It even had to original plastic and price tag. I actually did decided to buy it, much my wife chagrin I should mention. :laughing:


!
It was not 5.99 any more. :rofl: I wish.

Cool poster and totally DEVO style. Its crazy the poster by itself was silly expensive.

All the cool extra that came with the LP. A sticker, a single, an order form for cool merchandise and that poster from the photo abover

So cool. I was excited to recive ot all. It will hang to poster and my ticket in a frame.

My first 7-inch single was The Sweet - Funny, Funny. I think I was in the 4th grade of primary school at the time.

My first LP was a double LP of Jesus Christ Superstar.
My Grandma let me buy an LP in town; my aunt went with me, along with my cousins. I actually wanted to buy Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, but my aunt claimed my Grandma wouldn’t like that.
I’ve worn out the grooves on this record and sung along very often.

This Just Chatting is really fun; it really brings back memories here and there of music I used to listen to.

It’s funny, I used to have the single “Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - Tonight, Today” and I could never find that song again; I didn’t even remember the title. Now it can just be found on Spotify. Found it again thanks to this thread.
That bassist’s voice is so great, heavy and low.

I have never heard of them. Had to look them up.

How about thre 1967 coats. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I think I saw cool photos of Kieth Moon and Jimmy Page in Fur. You have got to be rock star status or a super rad pro athlete to pull off wearing those.
:laughing:

They have great music.

Edit: 1967 not 1997 derp. Haha

Me neither. Apparently a British group that didn’t make any splash in the USA during the “British invasion” years.
