The first single you bought?

[shirlthegirl43]

I must confess, it was the Bay City Rollers - Bye Bye Baby. My friend and I must have been fans, I think we even had the chopped off tartan trousers

I remember my cousin (from Glasgow) having her hair cut the same way as Eric (or was it Woody?)

We couldn't afford records, but the first LP I got of my own (I nicked it out of my best friend's bedroom) was Kings of the Wild Frontier by Adam and the Ants ... still got it, loaded on the iPod

I still have it in it's original form (plus some added scratches) loved Adam and the Ants!!

Sorry to hijack your thread Beefy but...

Can I ask if anyone happens to have a copy of Big Rock Candy Mountain on 78 - by Burl Ives? I am desperate to find a copy - also Champion the Wonder Horse (can't remember who did that one) and Little Brown Jug (again can't remember who by) all on 78. If anyone has them and is prepared to part with them I would be interested.

[Flummery]

Been asked this one before and, rather embarrassingly, it's Remember I'm a Womble - my excuse being that I was very young at the time!

Try this out also www.hit40uk.com/birthday and see what was No 1 when you were born. Was Elvis for me, but unfortunatley fat, burger eating Elvis, not the slim, hip swerving one!

OO-ER! I pre-date the dating system. I think I'm neolothic!

[johnty greentoes]

Tried www.hit40uk.com/birthday and found out that for me it was "I want to hold your hand" by those overrated Liverpudlians. Ho hum.

Oh happy days, The Wall, I saw it live in London when the album was first released, with the love of my life - and still have the programme!

Where were you Tony I went to Earls Court I think it was as well ..... I seem to remember they thought I was ill at work

But you can hijack one of my threads anytime Shirl as I have probably hijacked one of yours.

Cant remember my first ever record - but I do remember that every year bought whatever was 1st and 2nd in the Erovison Song Contest.

Have I really wrote that in a public place? Too much sun today

Do you remember Dirk wears white sox? Just before the album came out. Every girl at school seemed to have it and then all us boyfriends had to suddenly get all New Romantic along with them. Bloody hilarious. I remember getting a ridiculous Phil Oakey wedge thing. Would be totally impossible nowadays!
