This thread just shows you how much of an impact Slade had on the youth in the 70's.Superb singles and live band.How many kickbackers wrote Slade with a felt tip pen on their hands like one of their album covers.

"The Buddy Holly Story" an LP (remember them) in April 1959. I didn't have anything to play it on and had to go to a nearby auntie's house to listen to it on their Dansette. I've still got it and it still plays, though not as well as it once did!

Class album, that was one of the first I bought too and one that got me into the Rock genre I think. Them and Linkin Park.

Did it have a basement? I remember it had upstairs and the rare records where on the back wall behind glass. I used to go in everyday to see my mate davie when i was 16 and worked in chambers street. Do you remember all the second hand records at greyfriars records too? I remember buying a snare drum from the drummer of the Valves in there. You have brought back some happy memories dode!

Im sure it had a basement (late 70's early 80's) I recall buying some Madness pictures from downstairs.

 

Anyone remember the name of the record shop in Newington, it had Space Invader machines at the back of the shop.

First vinyl single was 'It's My Party' by Leslie Gore, which I bought as a birthday prezzie for my big sister.

 

First album I bought (for me, not my sis) was Sgt Pepper. Still have it, and it's going with me to the cremetorium....

First record was 'Prince Charming' and first album was 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' both bu Adam and the Ants and both purchased in Trax on Gorgie Road.

 

 

Not a bad start but then some of the first records I ever bought included 'Evory and Ivory' and 'The Frog Chorus'!

 

 

 

 

Buffalo Bill

 

I confess to owning a 45 Double A - The Ying Tong Song/I'm Walking Backwards to Christmas. A gift from some strange family crones. They were known in the family as "the three Aunties fae Leith."

 

I suppose they were Great Aunts and I think a couple of them were married and widowed and then converged in a flat near the bottom of the Walk. Never met them, never even knew their names. The cards were always signed "The Aunties." One day the gifts just...stopped. Wasn't too upset tbh as they were rubbish.

 

Heard later on that one of them actually retired to bed where she stayed for nigh-on twenty five years, passing on when the other two got rightly fed up waiting on her hand on foot and presumably shuffled off earlier just to spite her.
