First record you ever bought?

[nw42]

One of my all time favourite Soul music songs was this.Brings back memories of the Bar Kays,Donny Elbert,Ramsey Lewis,Mitch Ryder,Sam & Dave etc,etc.

Love Donnie Elbert, Little piece of Leather, Sweet Baby, Can't help myself, brilliant brilliant singer, non smoother.

First one I bought with my own money was an LP of live steam train recordings with descriptions of what was happening on the sleeve notes...

Do you mind. I have a morbid fear of train spotters.

It's known as Anoraknophobia.

From memory, my first record was Nut Rocker by B Bumble and the Stingers.

As much as I love Tamla, I prefer his two versions of Where Did Our Love Go and I Can`t Help Myself.Little Piece of Leather was another wonderful hit but my all time favourite is Sweet Baby.A class act and he certainly was lost at a youngish age,in his early 50`s IIRC.

That yodelling Aussie way back in the early `60`s was something I don`t miss mate. ;)
Ah the Monkees,every school girls clit ticklers at that time,with Likul Davie from Wythenshawe was it ? We had some great bands from Manc in those days with the Hollies,Dave Berry,Hermans Hermits,The Mindbenders etc.

From Gorton actually. My late wife was a (ahem) massive Monkees fan, and knew where his parents lived.

Did you know he also played the part of Ena Sharples' grandson in Corrie?

Yes I`ve seen that one and as you say some wonderful stuff.Have you seen the We Two Can Have A Party ... Tammi Terell.Probably my favourite video.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

No surprise that's what you bought.

I don't remember what the first single I bought was but the first single I owned was definitely Jeepster by T.Rex, which was a Xmas present.

Edit:

Fair chance that the first single that I bought was Telegram Sam by T.Rex.

What you trying to say mate?

Shall I mention you used to wear spandex pants! ? Lol
