First 45s were "Duke of Earl" and "Her Royal Majesty" -- no reason for the "theme", they were just what I wanted to buy and listen to at the moment. Just prior to this (I think) my mother bought me "The Peppermint Twist" by Joey Dee and the Starlighters and "The Twist" by Chubby Checker.

First LP was by Andy Williams.

My primary record player was a circa 1953 top of the line RCA given to me by an uncle. It only played 45s. I had to wait (even after buying that first LP) to get a record player that would play 33 RPM -- and it, of course, also played 45s and 78s.

I'm old, right?
