samhexum Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 *** note to our 35 year old members (who think they are old): record (noun) a large round black piece of plastic containing music or other sounds Mine was a 45-- Dizzy by Tommy Roe. I was 7 years old. There was a variety store across the street from me and I bought it there. I took it home and it skipped. Exchanged it and got the same result. 5 times. On the 7th attempt it worked. I probably still have it on a shelf in my closet. thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhexum Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Mine was an Elvis Presley 45, but I don't remember which one. The only Elvis 45 I ever bought was Suspicious Minds, though years later a friend gave me her copy of Burning Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastbayMike Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Diana Ross & the Supremes Join the Temptations. I was about 7 years old and liked the album cover so begged my mom to buy it for me. She said no at the time but I found it under the Christmas Tree that year. (So technically, I didn't "buy" it, but it was my first 33.) samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first Abba number I remember was Waterloo, and in recent years the Australian tribute group Bjorn Again has been prominent here. I think that the first LP I bought was of another battle, it was Tchaikovsky's 1812.
