charlie brown Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 The very first 45rpm that I actually bought, was "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett....followed later, by "Louie, Louie," by the Kingsmen. But, there were a lot of them, around, from my Mom's collection. Even some "blues!" CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I really can't remember my first 45 rpm but my mother used to buy the old ones from the Juke Box guy when he took them off of the juke box at the restaurant where she worked. I know that I had Beatles and Stones records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepblue Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I know some members are too young to have owned 45RPM records. Otherwise known as singles. If I remember correctly' date=' 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 Oh does that tune bring back memories!

milod Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 ksdaddy Used to do "Are you a boy or are you a girl" in that first college rock band. Barbarians: the only rock band with a drummer who played with a hook hand. My first .45 - my little sis had more earlier - was Julie London's "Cry me a river." I still love it both for the song, her voice, the arrangement in general and the jazz guitar backing... Oh, the little sis thing? Girls got into that stuff a lot earlier than the boys. She's 2 years younger. She's like nine and already talking the folks into a record player for her that she could play .45s on. I just had my big console tube multi-band radio. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Mine were all read-along stories... all of my vinyl music is on 33s. I think I bought my first music 45 last fall, actually. It was a 1970 British re-print of I Want To Hold Your Hand/This Boy. It was a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Retro.... <grin> Naaaah... That's a "point" 45, as in .45. Never had much use for one, myself. (If you may recall the Quigley line...) m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCI Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 And here it is: [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] It's a children's book that is narrated but what's cool about it is that there are real instruments being played instead of using cheap synthesizers like what you hear on modern children's records. They can learn to hear and identify each instrument. A REALLY great recording for this is the narrated recording (by Boris Karloff!) of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. If you have kids and want them to become better acquainted with classical instruments and music' date=' I was enchanted by this when I was young.
