saturn Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I know some members are too young to have owned 45RPM records. Otherwise known as singles. If I remember correctly, the first 45 I remember owning was this cheeseball hit [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yosCYE4vwlY&feature=related[/YOUTUBE] It was either that or the theme to the TV show SWAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yea, I did have a bunch of kids records, like Disney's Lady And The Tramp, Puss 'N Boots, stuff like that. But I think my first real music one was Cliff Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I didn't have a "First" 45. My folks got me a collection of 45's with lots of different songs on them... "Smokey the Bear", "Git Along Little Doggies" and songs like that. The first non-children's 45 I owned was Grand Funk Railroad's "People Let's Stop the War"/ "Save the Land". I also had Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Lucky Man"/"Kinfe's Edge" as well, and though I don't specifically recall, I'll wager those were hand me downs from my cousin. But, for those waxing nostalgic, here is a little something I ran across as I looked for info this morning: http://www.feelingretro.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dleth Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Mine was livin lovin maid. Zep of course. I still have a slew of them for my 70's Seeburg juke box. Perfect working order. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl M Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 My first 45? "Kung Fu Fighting"- Carl Douglas. 1974, I think. On a similar note to my old school friends here, we had a fiddle player in our band a couple of years back. Nice guy, college grad, good player...who had never seen a phonograph record play. He said, "What if you only want to hear the third song...what do you do then?" Someone hand me my cane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
