record

(noun)

a large round black piece of plastic containing music or other sounds

 

Mine was a 45-- Dizzy by Tommy Roe. I was 7 years old. There was a variety store across the street from me and I bought it there. I took it home and it skipped. Exchanged it and got the same result. 5 times. On the 7th attempt it worked. I probably still have it on a shelf in my closet.

Mine was an Elvis Presley 45, but I don't remember which one.

The only Elvis 45 I ever bought was Suspicious Minds, though years later a friend gave me her copy of Burning Love.

Mine was probably "Blue Suede Shoes."

Diana Ross & the Supremes Join the Temptations. I was about 7 years old and liked the album cover so begged my mom to buy it for me. She said no at the time but I found it under the Christmas Tree that year. (So technically, I didn't "buy" it, but it was my first 33.)

Of course! Dancing Queen. In a manly way ... Yup.

 

I guess Fernando would be about a cowboy on the Rio Bravo del Norte.

The first Abba number I remember was Waterloo, and in recent years the Australian tribute group Bjorn Again has been prominent here. I think that the first LP I bought was of another battle, it was Tchaikovsky's 1812. How boring am i?

Okay, Blondie, but what was the first record you ever bought?

Bridge over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel

A better version:

 

Was in the audience when this was filmed at Cadagon Hall... and a few months later during pride a few dozen members sheltered under a bridge during a passing downpour, realized the acoustics were perfect, and sang until the rain cleared...
