First LP

This was mine:

[Serial_Apologist]

I'd heard it live at the RFH and fell inlove with it. I did have lighter stuff on old 78s including a lot of Spike Jones and his City Slickers

Saly - I love the name of one of the slickers - Horatio Q Birdbath - the Q being Quinine becausevhe was hard to take! They must have been a massive influence on one of my 60s' favourites the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.

[Parry1912]

My word, you were a cultured lot with your Bachs Stravinskys and RVWs.

For me - Motown Chartbusters Vol. 6.

Altogether now: "Indiana wants me, Lord, I can't go back there ..."

It was good or maybe "It was just my imagination"...

Shamefully to give it its full title
It's Fab, It's Gear, It's the Searchers
First mild culture
Poet and Peasant and 1812 (second hand) Music For Pleasure LP

[PJPJ]

As a very small boy I was given my first LP - Peter & The Wolf with Basil Rathbone and Leopold Stokowski. First pocket money bought Kodaly Hary Janos complete and Brahms VC Grumiaux/van Beinum.

The first LP I ever heard was Bill Haleys "Rock around the Clock" at my cousin's, when we eventually got a player my first purchase was "Songs for Swinging Lovers"; Sinatra and the amazing Nelson Riddle who extended the bounds of accompaniment into recomposition on some of the tracks and never went as far on subsequent Sinatra LPs as far as I know. I was fortunate to be in the audience for the two shows he gave at the Hammersmith Odeon on his World Charity Tour when (1962?) he still had breath control and "edge", it was fantastic!!

I clearly remember my first single.........but that is for another thread.(singles were my preferred medium for a long time).

First album I think, though I am not absolutely sure cos I bought a lot of singles beforehand, was Quo's "Piledriver".
A decent enough disc, still spin "Don't waste my time" and "Paper Plane" from time to time.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

My first EP was a Fontana 7 inch recording of Berlioz's Roman Carnival Overture. I first experienced the annoying phenomenon of groove jumping with this disc.

[verismissimo]

Count Basie around 1958/9. Loved it.
