It was either Andy Gibb's "Shadow Dancing" or Kiss' "Rock And Roll Over"

I do remember that the first bit of music that was all mine that wasn't a kiddie record was an 8-track of "Kiss Alive!" - strange thing for a 6 year-old to be listening to, I know.

Monkees

"I'm A Believer"
b/w
"(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone"

i think

well, i always say that the first record i bought was the beatles 45 -
i wanna hold your hand b/w i saw her standing there, when it came out... because i really imagine that...but if i want to be totally accurate and honest, i have to confess that the FIRST record i bought when i was 4 years old or something was "hello muddah hello faddah" by alan sherman or someone...

single
In Summer Billy Fury early 63

ep

Twist and Shout Beatles


album

The Animals and The Five Faces of Manfred Mann ,


I don't remember exactly when I bought the 2 albums 1963 late or 1964 early but I bought them both at Boots in Liverpool one Saturday while on a school trip to watch a football match . the teachers supported Everton so a trip was always to Liverpool from North Wales where I was brought up and went to school.
They were both out before the Rolling Stones first LP.
I still have both of them though I have a cd version of The Animals , but haven't managed to find The Five Faces of Manfred Mann on cd yet.
The first single oddly enough was also the first casualty it melted ,but by then my tastes had changed so it was never replaced.
Shortly afterwards you know who came along , and thing changed forever.
Bizarrely The Stones were on Decca who's singles were the same price as everybody else 6 shillings and 8 pennies meaning you cold buy 3 for £1 ,but the EP'S were eleven shillings and 2 pennies, whereas the other labels were only ten shillings and 6 pennies,and the LP's Thirtytwo shillings and 2 pennies ,compared to all the other labels costing thirtytwo shillings only.

Cosmo's Factory by CCR was my first one - I thought a grown-up rocker on bike was so funny

Beggars Banquet. It was an end of the aisle display. I only bought it because my sister and brother wanted it (they had already bought theirs). My parents were buying us each an album.

So, I have sibling rivalry at the age of 10 to thank for my love of the Rolling Stones.

1st LP : Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
1st Stones LP: Sticky Fingers

I still love them both!!!!

February 1964, I was nine years old. I had heard a song on the radio by the jazz trumpeter Al Hirt, called "Sugar Lips," and had mentioned to my dad that it was sort of an interesting song. He told me that he was going to the record store the following week, anyway, and that if I came with him he'd buy the 45 for me.

The very next Sunday was the debut of The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. I suddenly, much to my dad's displeasure, didn't give a hoot anymore about Al Hirt (a Hoot about Hirt!). I insisted he get me "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" b/w "I Saw Her Standing There," and the long hit parade of rock and roll record purchases began.

My first two Stones records were the singles of "Tell Me" and "It's All Over Now." I remember it was quite a bit of time before "Satisfaction" came out, and by then I was a diehard fan. Friends were saying, "have you heard this new band called the Rolling Stones?" and I remember feeling sort of smug, been there, done that, had a couple of their records for a long time now.....

1st 45 - I saved up planter's nut packages to get a free copy of either The Sweet, Ballroom Blitz or Little Willy while living in Scotland for a few months. That was back in the day of the glam bands like them, Gary Glitter, Slade, and Barry Blue.

1st album - Love You Live. Not really sure why I bought that one. I just had some money and was on a mission to buy a record. I guess that's what got me going as a Stones' fan.

...something was "hello muddah hello faddah" by alan sherman or someone...

Your are correct loochie. The song you are referring to was done by Alan Sherman. I believe it was called Camp Granada. It was a fave of mine too until I came to my senses and discovered rock n roll!

First record I ever bought was "Yogi Bear and the Three Stooges" (seriously!). Recovering quickly, I picked up "Sgt Peppers" - a good first rock album for any young lad.

Michelle - Beatles 20 February 1966 I still remember this because it was on my birthday

First vinyl albums were something called the Contemporary Guitar Sampler (lots of great acoustic stuff from people like Bert Jansch & John Renbourn) and Beethoven's 7th Symphony.

haha, thank god the beatles et al showed up on ed sullivan at some point soon after that record came out :-))

>> the first Stones album I ever had was bought for me by my mother (still can't figure out why -
she hated all that rock n roll stuff!). She gave me December's Children <<

smile: my guardians bought that one for us, totally out of the blue!
i think the title tricked them into thinking the Stones had turned cuddly or something. :E

the first i bought by myself was Queen - the Works

First Stones album was Steel Wheels

Big Purple album, Letters "ABC" across the front, a band called the Jackson 5.

"Songs, Stories & Pictures of the Beatles" on VJ Records.

I think the first album I bought was Led Zeppelin - Presence

First Stones album - Some Girls

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

Worked hard all summer for my grandmother to be able to buy an album with Chuck Berry. Cannot remember the title - it's one of these hit collections. I loved Chuck then, and I still do.

But funny, how I would buy this before Rolling Stones?? ;-)

Which reminds me: the next album was "Rolled" Gold with "you-know-who" ;-)

1st album was Sheer Heart Attack Queen I was 15.

1st Stones album was Black and Blue

1st single cannot remember but it might have been Dance With The Devil by Cozy Powell.

Same here, right down to the Panasonic...except I was ten.

Now I hate that f---ing album. Haven't listened to it all the way through in years...the mix is bloody horrible (even for a Beatles album) and it is way too hippy dippy even for a hippie like me!

Three years later I bought my first Stones album: "Hot Rocks", and it was like finding God, which, in a way, I suppose it was...
