OT ...another music related question;

[yankeesince59]

...do you recall what was the very first musical recording you ever bought with your OWN money? (record or cassette or CD)

...I remember mine vividly...after seeing this American Bandstand show I talked Mom into buying me this 45 rpm from a J C Penney store while she was buying me school clothes. (I think it was about $.40 back then) I played it over and over and over on a record player someone had given me...and I quickly became forever hooked on music.





...but as far as using my own money, I also remember it clearly...after wearing out the grooves on Maybelline, I scraped up enough allowance, and Coke bottles to allow me to buy this hot tune at the time;

...I also remember playing the "flip side" occasionally... ("Don'y Worry Baby")

My very 1st Vinyl's all came around the same year; The 1st 45's I vividly recall buying, with my own money, (coke bottle scavenging as well)- was: "Pretty Woman",
and -
the 45 of "I Want To Hold Your Hand", not for that tune, but for its B Side- "I Saw Her Standing There", a nice 45 for young puppy love "pre-pubers"......

1st LP, 33 1/3 was Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire", but I didn't have to buy the LP, I was in Sears with my Dad, while he was looking at TV's, I was checking out that LP, my old man liked Johnny Cash, and bought it for me, and He played it as often as I did.....
