What was the first record you can remeber hearing when you went to your first club(not youth club or school disc)

This was mine at the rainbow Suite above the B'ham co-op circa 1967

Harry bets. My lord! Having said that the quality of some of the sounds over the years at the Palias was quality.

Remember the revolving floor in the room known as the Bali Hai with all those crazy funketeers throwing shapes

I wonder what the average age was at the dayers mind. I was 14 when I first went and didn't feel massively out of place.
