GUEST,Mike in DC | What was the first record you bought? (179* d) | RE: What was the first record you bought? | 20 Feb 08 |
My first LP was Brahms Symphony No. 1, conducted by Felix Weingartner. I'm not sure about my first 45, but two instrumentals stand out in my memory - Bill Doggett's Honky Tonk, Parts I and II, and Harlem Nocturne (backed with I Hear a Rhapsody)by Earl Bostic. The age of the 78 had passed before I had any discretionary cash, but I more or less distinctly remember a record of train sounds (backed with more train sounds)which I played on a Bozo the Clown record player. |
