The first single you ever bought?

[lancs blue]

I must have missed this thread first time around.

1964, bought the 45 from Woolworths in Sale with my pocket money. As hard as it may be to believe, a single record cost more than getting in to Maine Rd back then! 6s 8d for a 45, compared to 5s adult or 2s 6d concession in the Scoreboard End.

Maggie May.

And despite it being overplayed a bit like Beethoven's fifth it still sounds good to me.

Sorrow, Bowie, with the magnificent Port of Amsterdam on the flip side. From Dolphin Discs in Henry St.

Bacardi and coke. Having said that, it might have been Pernod and lemonade.
