Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
T-Rex. Children of the revolution.
Further to the Record Store Day thread, and as a search reveals this subject hasn't been done for 10 years - what was the first record you ever bought? No cheating for the sake of credibility, all you Bay City Roller fans .
This was mine....... (In my defence, I WAS 7 years old!).
First record I ever bought myself with my own (pocket) money was:-
While real rockers bought this:Technically it was a present rather than bought myself, but was what I wanted, so almost the same thing. In the late '60s as a little boy I was fascinated by the Apollo landings and wanted the signature tune, which I understood to be The Planets, especially given this album cover.
Of course, the signature tune wasn't The Planets at all but Richard Strauss Also Sprach Zarathustra which I didn't get till decades later. Planets is still pretty damned good, and was perhaps the begining of my exploration of (so-called) Classical music
Still a favourite of mine.T-Rex. Children of the revolution.
I think i was either 4 or 5 at the time and bought it from the 10p pile at Boots in AirdrieNow THAT is commendable honesty! Especially when you were 19 at the time .
Too much credibility going on here! There must be someone else who bought something naff as their first raecord. Don't be shy!
Good; but not in the same league as Pinky and Perky!I won a record token when I was about 5, my Mum "helped" me choose "A Scottish Soldier" by Andy Stewart. Naff enough?
I love that. Listened to a load of Thunder on my iPod today.Thunder - dirty love
