First record I bought:- "A Hard Headed Woman", I reckon I must have been about 10yrs. It was a 78 of course and got broken along the way. I still know the words by heart now.
When Jailhouse Rock came out I managed to persuade my mum to take me. It was an 'A' rated film, so I couldn't get admission without an adult. It was on at the ABC Cinema in Cirencester.
