Senior Citizens: Can you remember the first record you bought, and how much it cost?

Yes, in 1956, Softly, Softly by Ruby Murray. It cost 3 shillings and 4 pence, that's just under 17p for the juniors on this channel. Unfortunately the lady took to drink and it destroyed her which was very sad. It was a 78 and it's now digitalised in my computer.

Well, I can't remember the year but a guess would be around 1961-1963. The record was a 45 rpm. At the time you could actually listen to the record in the record shop to decided if you wanted to buy it.

I am pretty sure the first record I bought cost 47 cents with tax. The record was by a one-hit wonder name Buzz Clifford. The A side was called " Baby Sittin Boogie". The B side I liked best and it was called "Driftwood".Mostly a typical early 60's crooner song. Played the thing everyday on my "mono" record player until it was all scratched up.

Had another record about the same time with a title called " Little Cocoa Palm" but cant remember much more about it.

What 'as long you're up' published became into very apt yet we could have somewhat psychological honesty here. 1984 became right into a e book written by using George Orwell who became into, for a at the same time as, a dedicated and lively Left Winger and then He found out the fact on the subject of the Stalinist Regime and became thoroughly dissatisfied by using The Soviet Union. consequently the e book. He truthfully needed to call it '1948' yet his publishers concept that there could be a 'diplomatic incident' and that they persuaded him to alter the identify. What has developed when you consider that the two 1948 and 1984 is State Surveillance in pretty much each and every united states in the worldwide. With uncomplicated acquisition of fatal potential to disrupt or maybe wreck, any State that does no longer take protection measures will pay the cost. What Democracy has to do to maintain what Freedoms are left, is to be the non-end watchdog and observe of what is going on and what's being executed, and carry voices and carry the alarm. Freedom must be continuously guarded or maybe fought for, otherwise it gets taken away all too truthfully.

It was a 45 RPM, or whatever it was called back then. I am sure it was a song by Ricky Nelson because those were the only records I bought -- I could only afford one or two, so chose to buy his. I cannot remember how much I paid for them -- I really wish I could remember. Hopefully someone else will come up with the cost of those records. By the way, I still have them -- don't have a record player to play them on though.

The first LP I ever bought was at a yard sale, it was the soundtrack to the movie "Oklahoma" and I think I paid 25¢. This was in the very early 60's. The first new LP I bought was Simon and Garfunkel's Bookends, and I'm pretty sure it was $2.98. I don't remember the first 45 RPM I bought, but it was probably something by the Beatles or the Monkees.

The ever record I bought was Petula Clark singing Cinderella Jones, it did not even make the charts or top twenty but I like it at the time, and I still have it. As for the cost, sorry no I cannot remember the price I paid.

I never bought records when I was a teenager, as I used to listen to radio luxembourg and juke boxes in the coffee bars. The first time I bought a record was at my son's school fete. I got a Dansette record player for 2/6d and a mono Joan Baez record for 6d, John Lennon's "Imagine" and two Buddy Holly records, but can't remember the prices of the latter ones.

The first record I ever bought myself was by Duane Eddy. The A side was called Guitar Man but I had bought it for the B side, an instrumental called Stretching Out. I can't remember how much it cost though.

I began buying records in 1957 while in junior high school (in the USA). I still have all those 45 rpm records plus many 78s and 12" LPs. But I cant remember exactly the first one at this moment. I have to ponder that and come back to this question.

A 45 record of "I Forgot More Than You Will Ever Know About Him" Davis sisters 1952. It cost 49 cents.
