You forget the 45s!

Unless you describe those, some of these youngsters won't even know what you are talking about.

lmao

:D :D

Well, the first 45 I ever received was far earlier than anything I ever bought. It was a touching rendition of all of the songs from the movie Lady and the Tramp.

We are Siamese was my favorite, but a certain satisfaction could be gained by playing the 2-3 minute "song" of the dogs howling. It made our own dog join in every time.

[Kooperman]

My first album was Meet The Beatles, back in 1964. My first 5 albums were all Beatle albums, a string finally broken by a Dave Clark 5 album.

My first 45 RPM single was by The Chiffons (He's So Fine). That's right.....I'm older than dirt.

[DudeAsInCool]

Which single was "She's So Fine" the flip side of, old codger? And welcome aboard, Kooperman :)

How about "Oh, My Lover"? Betcha didn't think I'd get that, eh? However, being an old codger, I reserve the right to forget anything at any time, although I'm relatively certain I remembered to put underwear on today.

[rainbowdemon]

A clean pair too??

<_>

[Kooperman]

Hmmmm....well, that's where the senility thing comes in, ya know.

Nope, it was the flip side of a Beatles single--was it Twist and Shout?--ol, ive forgotten msyelf which one. I will have to go to the Beatles site to remember...I do remember the cover of the 45--the beatles performing, with a bluish modern set in the b.g. :P

After some Yahooing, I'm vindicated! Check out the paragraph about the Laurie single, "He's So Fine".

[DudeAsInCool]

It would help if i remember to quiz you on the right song title.. lol ...

It was: I Feel Fine. And the song on the flip side of the 45 was:

She's a Woman Capitol 5327 - November 23, 1964.

How was the Laurie single?

Edited November 25, 2003 by DudeAsInCool

[Kooperman]

He's So Fine was obviously a classic....as I recall, the flip was the usual average to below average filler. I think I'm gonna try to search that flip side out, just for curiosity's sake.

[MikeHunt]

Iron Butterfly.. Innagadadaveda (bad sp)

Frank Zappa ....Weasels ripped my flesh..

...'cause i liked the cover of the guy shaving with a little weasel.

3.99 each at Musicland

My first albums that I actually personally chose to buy were Kiss - Dynasty and Foreigner - 4. I got them both from a swap meet shortly after moving into a new home. I recall my parents being disapproving b/c the faces of Kiss on the album looked evil or satanic. I recall that the first song, "I Was Made For Lovin' You" was scratched, but I loved it anyways. I would sing it with the scratch. It is the only album I've had in LP, cassette, & CD. As far as cassette goes, I think my parents gave me an Elton John album. Something with a song that had "paradise" in the title. I don't know what possessed them to buy EJ for me. I never asked for it. Guess they figured it was better than Knights In Satan's Service. lol

And finally, I think the first CD I received was Kiss - Music from The Elder. I don't know how I acquired it, but I know it was a couple years before I even got a CD player.

Aside from the EJ reference, Kiss and Foreigner were the bands I grew up with and basically started me on my path to Rock & Roll. I still enjoy both bands to this day.
