What Was The First 7" Vinyl Single You Bought?

[Davidc]

This Wheel's on Fire - Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity (1964/65 ish)

 

[dellzeqq]

'She Loves You' by the Beatles. I'll get my coat.....

 

[Headgardener]

I didn't actualy buy it but my first 7" record was The Ugly Duckling, it was bright orange so very distinctive. I must have driven my parents nuts because I had been trusted to operate the record player (under supervison) on my own and I played it all the time.

 

[Aperitif]

'She Loves You' by the Beatles. I'll get my coat.....

...it's in my 'collection' too.

you know it was most likely "Zerox", Adam and the Ants, cause of the B side Whip in my Valise, either that or "Lady" on the B side of Young Parisians.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

Relax - Frankie Goes to Hollywood


Mainly because it was banned, and the cover was rather risque... didn't know what it was about though at the time!

Sadly, my first vinyl purchase was "My ding-a-ling" by Chuck Berry
Guess I've always had a penchant for smutty humour

 

[ianrauk]

Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody

 

[Soltydog]

I'd love to say it was something else, but my first single purchase was Under The Moon Of Love - Showadawaddy

 

[Greedo]

Ant Music - Adam and The Ants

Wonderful Baby by Don Maclean.

I was about 5 years old and obsessed with it. The record shop in Yate didn't have it but one of the staff brought in his own copy from home for me. What a nice guy!

I still have it and have played it to both my kids, and sing it to my little one even though she's not a baby any more.

 

[John the Monkey]

Mantronix' "Simple Simon" I think.

 

[Globalti]

As kids we had all kinds of brightly-coloured 45s including the now deeply un-PC Little Black Sambo (still got the book) and some Thomas Tank Engine stories, also the Gerald Hoffnung story about the bricklayer and one bizarre 45 given to my Dad, a GP, by a medical rep in which a bladder operation was described in fascinatingly graphic terms.

I hardly bought any pop 45s but I think I did buy Another Day by Paul McCartney.

Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall". I think it was pink, or coloured vinyl too - probably worth a bit now.

I Die You Die - Gary Numan
