I think the first LP I did buy was a Slade one.

Can't remember what it was called now! Possibly called "Born To Be Wild"
Which at the time I thought was Born To Be Loved!:-D :-D :-D

It had "Darling Be Home Soon" on it!:-)

I wasn't quite sure that I'd picked the right speed either, but I looked that one up! :-D

I've been wondering whatever happened to them! :-S :-S

With respect Jem, 78's weren't Lp's

LP's ran at 33 1/3 Rpm

Bob

I can remember buying my first LPs.

They were 78s that I bought in a jumble sale when I must have been about 10. I loved them. I used to play them on our Radiogram.

I think one of them was called "HOT POT STEW" or something like that. It was a comical one. Obviously with a title like that :-D :-D :-D

I still have my old record player in the loft its a mono one lol :-D :-D

Blinky 'eck!
Just realised that player cost summat like 13 1/2 guineas when I was 16 my uncle had to be guarantor on the never never..........
and I still have it!!!
that's 61 years ago...........
pity I don't have the original 78's that I bought at the time!!

wonder if it still works............???

David Cassidy... How Can I Be Sure

Schools out by Alice Cooper, think 1971 and lamplight by David Essex.

LP was a compilation album around 1973/74 Had rocket man, The in Crowd,Ku Fu Fighting etc but cant remember the exact name of it.
