First records 45 or 33 RPM 09:04 - Feb 1 with 372 views

Showing my age now.
As I wrote on a previous post about songs which summed up your teenage years.
I thought what and when did you buy your first vinyl ??
As I’ve said for me was New Rose by The Damned and either Give ‘Em Enough Rope by The Clash or Requiem by Killing Joke were my first albums. I think it was around 1980 as a 14 year old i started buying records. I would also say early Cure get a mention too.

Sadly im a few years ahead of you, I think my first 45's were Jeepster by T Rex, Take Me Bak Ome by Slade and bizarrely Meet me on the corner by Lindisfarne.

First albums would be some of the following

Electric Warrior & The Slider by T Rex, Slade Alive & Slayed by Slade also Never a Dull Moment by Rod Stewart

Satisfying The Bloodlust Of The Masses In Peacetime

I remember dancing to Tiger Feet as a nipper, still like the song 😬
I also remember in the late 70s , 10 years after its release MC5 and “ kick out the jams, muther fukka”. They were so ahead of their time.” Looking at you “ was also a song which could of been released 10 years later..

I bought some shite as a young kid but the very first 45 I bought with pocket money was a classic that I still love today - This town ain't big enough for both of us by Sparks. This might have been because I had to share it with my brother, so we had to agree which one we bought, as that was the only way we could afford it. I was 12.

Sparks are still going more than half a century later and touring the UK this year (tickets available in B'mouth)

They too was far ahead of its time.
Weren’t they brothers, with the one on the keyboards looking like Hitler.
About 20 years ago I went to a rave (as you did then) and they played that 00 style.
It was epic….

MC5....Talk about wack jobs...in the 60's they were one of the originators of the word "underground".

They had a guitarist who was married to Patti Smith. His name was Fred "Sonic " Smith.

If I ever get an urge to change my name by deed poll, that's what I'm going for.

Don't worry Mr Kernow, i've got your back when talking music from the Stone Age.

Single...never bought one in my life...in the late 60's we used pirate radio for that stuff.

Albums....First Jethro Tull (This Was ). Their sound was dictated by Mick Abrahams back then, before the mad Jock flautist took over.

First two Doors albums

East-West by Paul Butterfield Blues Band.

Here's a tester for the elderly on here. Has anyone heard of an album by a band called Pete Brown and his Battered Ornaments called " A Meal You Can Shake Hands With In The Dark". A mate lent it to me in 1969 and I never gave it back.

No, but I saw Pete Brown at a university gig. He certainly had a way with words. My favourite album title of his was, "Things May Come and Things May Go but the Art School Dance Goes on Forever".

Poll:

How many Pompey fans post on here, pretending to be Saints fans?

Nice shout Mr D. That album was by his next band project Piblokto. Both groups featured Chris Spedding on guitar who was pretty good,

Brown wrote all the lyrics for Jack Bruce's songs with Cream.

Ahh...carefree days.
