First single bought with your own money. No lies, excuses and apologoes are welcome, but no lies!
My first single was probably 'How much is that doggie on the window?' but this is the first one I saved up for with my pocket money. Three of us went into Golden Discs in Cork. We bought U2 - 3, The Specials' Gangsters and this one, which was mine. I loved all three and ended up swapping with them for the other two as well.
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
mine was brought from a long since departed record shop in green street ,upton park.. 1975 i was eight. still remember the artwork on the disk below.
by the time i was nine i was going into woolworths every pocket money day and selecting two singles from the wall of delights and wonder that displayed the top 75.
they really were marvelous times ladies and gentlemen.
no 'minecraft' in sight, thank fk.

I remember breaking my vinyl virginity well. Walked into Magnum records on Northfields Avenue all furtive and excited, couldn't find Baggy Trousers so settled for this one.
I was hooked. Since then I've spent many a happy hour flicking through vinyl bins and that thrill of finding a track, taking it home and placing it lovingly on the deck and that first crack and hum of stylus on groove just cannot be replaced.
It was a sad day when Magnum shut and the Magnum Force were no more. Then Vinylmania appeared to quench the thirst of the house buying 12" record massive and my days did I spend some wages in there?! I still have the craic with Steve D the owner when I see him now and then.... another sad day when he sold up and the place is a cab office now
Music was my first love, and she shall be my last.
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

disco, was looking at this single just the other day - not because I like it but when I looked it up he was the keyboard player in Nazareth and I commented on his rather impressive haircut the other week. Read an interesting interview with him in that he didn't seem to recall a lot from that sort of era with the interviewer prompting him on who he worked with. I would imagine the first records I bought were Gary Glitter which is now unacceptable so delving back as far as I can recall it must be this one which I've mentioned before

"Telescope" aka Andy Clark.
1959 and a young and impressionable Blob bought this with a record token.
From memory, I had a vague recollection that I wanted to be a punk and a bit rebellious. The clincher was that it was on orange vinyl, which I thought was akin to discovering gold at the time. The next single I bought was The Police - either Roxanne or Walking On The Moon, so I didn't really know what sort of music I was into!
"Thank you for supporting Queens Park Rangers Steep Staircase"... and I thought I'd signed up for a rollercoaster.

Wizard - Are You Ready To Rock .....what a load of shite, but I was only 10!
I wonder what ever happened to the DJ signing off at the end?

Bought with vouchers from WH Smiths at Brent Cross. In my defence, I was six at the time and my older brother wasn’t much help on the guidance front.
