Not sure if this topic has been done before, so apologies if it has.
The very first record I ever bought was actually for my brother's Christmas. He was into the Beatles, as a lot of folk were back then & I bought him a double A side record "Day Tripper & We Can Work it Out". He played it over & over & ..... on his new record player that Christmas. He bought me Pinky & Perky's Runaway Train. Least said about that the better!
The first record I bought for myself though was in slightly better taste, it was the Troggs "With a Girl Like You" which came out in 1967. My taste in music has varied a lot over the years, but hubby was impressed when he found that one in my record collection soon after we started going out together. Unfortunately he barfed at many of my other record purchases, such as the Moody Blues "To Our Children's Children's Children". He was into ELP & Pink Floyd, which I had never heard of before meeting him, blame my sheltered upbringing
and I liked some of their stuff.
