CF11JamTart Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I also got Kings of the Wild Frontier as the first record I got myself. Looking back Kings of the Wild Frontier has stood the test of time, whereas Price Charming sounds dated, and Adam Ant focuses more on the first two records live now. Spot on. And it was my first LP to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonlegions Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I was not that bothered by music when i was a child until i heard this and then scrapped enough pennies together and bought it,this record and the generation it ignited was to influence my future taste in my preferences of what listened to, Punk was born and i came alive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtUH2YSFlVU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cow Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 All the Young Dudes still pisses over it mind. Bowies best ever song and he handed it out. Heard Bowie singing it a few times live , he sang backing vocals in the Mott single , he would have been as well releasing it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However my first vinyl single brought back great memories of 19 May Weirdly enough, I pointed my 20 year old step-son at this very video last week. He wasn't impressed. My 1st single bought was the delicious Kate Bush, The Man With The Child In His Eyes.

I don't think they would have bought it for me if they knew what a dutchie was!! It's a doughnut Pass the Duchie was a cover of Pass the Kouchie which was very much about "recreational drugs". All references were changed to food items for the cover though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statts1976uk Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I know it was about a "Jamaican cooking pot" but I think we all knew what was implied especially as the original was about a kouchie! Still don't think my parents would have bought it if they knew what it was based on! ETA just watched the video on YouTube and it hasn't aged as badly as some songs from that era.

Ribble Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Tape would have been Wacko Jacko - Bad album from woolies in dalkeith after getting a ghetto blaster for my birthday, would have been about 12 I think!

I P Knightley Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Long haired lover from Liverpool - Jimmy Osmond I didn't ever have that single but one of my early singles was definitely an Osmonds one, probably Crazy Horses. Bought from Sweet Inspiration in Morrison St. If memory serves me well, my first ever independent single purchase was Honky Tonk Women but might have been The Byrds' Mr Tambourine Man. First album without doubt was Out of the Blue (ELO) on blue vinyl - also out of Sweet Inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalMac Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 First single? I have no idea.

Robbo-Jambo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 New World Record by ELO 1975/6 ? Cracking album. Tastes changed very much a couple of years later with punk/new wave arriving but still got a soft spot for ELO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
