Thread Name: What was the first record you bought?
Subject: RE: What was the first record you bought?
Thrilled someone else like '26 miles' - Four Preps - the only pop track I liked for years.
Also Johnny Standley's It's in the Book, a funny analysis of Little Bo Peep. Got the 45, had no idea there was an LP.
First record, not my money (well I was ill in bed) Alfven's Swedish Rhapsody, arr. percy Faith. The BBC has been using it as the signature tune for a children's tv prog, c.'53. Blowed if I can remember the prog.
Ist LP, an Ace of Clubs of Grieg's Peer Gynt Suites - still got it - after I was bought my first record-player by an uncle.
