my first was a single bought with 12th birthday money in 1964.

Little Patty - "He's my blond-headed stompy-wompy real gone surfer boy" (or was that the first line?)

My first CD (needed in 1997 when I finally bought a CD player) was supposed to be Joan Baez "Five", but the shop didn't have a copy! So I ordered it & bought 4 or 5 others instead.

I needed the CD as my very old copy, taped late 70's or early 80's from a friend's battered record, was on it's very wheeeeezy whirrry last legs & I couldn't imagine life without it.
