I cannot recall what the first " Club Soul " record was that I bought , but Bud Harper " Mr Soul " , was certainly the first one I paid " real " money for .....

I thought you preferred Aer, er, Lingus, Kev

Anyway, my answer is Jackie Wilson, Sweetest Feeling

Can't stand to hear it these days, but me & my friend Steph used to high kick around me Mam's living room clapping under our knees and stuff. We were rubbish, but we scored highly for artistic impression...

(all together now...!) TOMMY NEAL ON UK VOCALION !

Not counting Motown, I think the next one though was probably Dee Dee Sharp "What Kind Of Lady" (UK Action) - or possibly Bobby Wells on Beacon (white re-issue)

Darrell Banks - Open The Door To Your Heart/Our Love (Is In The Pocket)

1st every big money northern record i bought and i aint got many and dont have it today was Lynne randell Stranger in my arms ( picture cover) in the early 80s cost me £25 which i thought was a lot of money and havnt payed that much for a record since as i am by no means a collecter

Can't remember really, could of been

The Temptation Walk - Mirwood Strings or Strings a go go - Bob Wilson

P

No idea what UK record it was more than likely a Tamla Motown one.

The first import a got was Archie Bell & the Drells "Here I Go Again"

First record for me was Epitome Of Sound, you don't love me. Got it from Derby market,. still my favourite today.

The first two singles I bought were both from 'Greaves' record shop in Rhyl and were:

Dee Dee Sharp - What kind of lady - Action.

Little carl Carlton - Competition aint nothing - Action.

I also bought my second pair of Lee Rider jeans the same day from Horesh's in Rhyl. (see Flasher below)

Stop - Lorelie IIRC

hello im a newbie here, but i bought 3 or 4 at once when i was little armed with my pocket money, and help from my dad,, and my first three were mighty joe young suffering soul, al wilson the snake and charlie rich love is after me i think in all honesty, they were my dads wants really, but with his 'help' in choosin they were my first three bits of vinyl i ever owned and i still love and listen to those three on a regular basis :0)

i have just put them on, and had a little dance in the kitchen, . i cant help likin the snake, and it must be because its one of my first ones, and i was only 6 at the time (1985) and id begged my mum and dad that id wanted some records of my own because they were both into northern and mod stuff, and it was my birthday and amongst other kiddy stuff, i can remember being so chuffed and 'grown up' coz i had records,lol and when we came on, my dad put them on, and he was teaching me to dance and backdrop to them,lol....happy days

* home, lmao, when we came on, now that would have been a feat with me at the age of 6 and especially my dad,

First one I paid good money for, was Hey Girl Don't Bother Me - The Tams.

£7 was a weeks wages for me.

- Kev.

I've never ever bought one...but I did have some...they were either given to or bought for me... I don't have any now and haven't had for years...but wish I had cos they might be worth a few bob now

Hi Lorna

Memories eh...except mine are a little hazy...I remember earning £4 from my Saturday job and that used to fund my Wigan jaunt that night...if I had to pay my train fare that covered it but I had a free pass for the trains as my da worked on the railway so generally I didn't have to pay...then money in, however much that was and 20 fags...if I didn't need to pay train fare I came back with money in my pocket but if I had to then my pockets were empty. Didn't do "naughty things" thank God cos no money for them then!

I didn't drink so that's probably why I don't remember how much alcohol cost back in the day

God I would never have dared go out with 50p cos I was far too coy to blag hitch or cadge.

That Purple Haze track was the only one I had on 7" so no clue as to the elusive third track I'm afraid.

PM for you hun

Working on those pyramids must have been really hard work,mate! ..£7 Must have been before it came out om ABC and made No1....By the way...'How flat is Alberta??!'

Bloody hard work - I was the hod carrier!

Yes, it was before it was re-issued (just ) and was a crap copy, probably G-, but I was just chuffed to own it. In my little world the only copies I knew of were played at the Cally in Dunstable, and The George at Wilby nr Wellingboro'.

Alberta? Flat as a witches tit. Not a tree to be seen for days, and a place fit only for snakes and mosquitos.

One Wonderfull Moment The Shakers, Storm Warning The Volcanoes. Both on same day!

^{NICE AND EASY, "soul Galore" Jackie WILSON - IN 69, ONCE I GOT THIS SINGLE THE B SIDE TO "I GET THE SWEETEST FEELING" IT WAS IF I HAD MADE A DISCOVERY OF A LIFE TIME. STILL SUNDS GREAT TODAY DAVE KIL}

Dance dance dance casualeers, on roulette, they had this copy for £1.75 and a contempo one for i think it was 79p, (didnt like the pink colour and i was flush, it was my birthday money and a record token..) and shame shame shame shirley and co

Again not including Motown I'd say possibly (and honestly....) Derek and Ray - Interplay

Rain - Out of my mind.

Mine was a reissue (boot?) on RCA Victor (or it might have been Disco Demand or something like that) of the 3 before 8, Jimmy Radcliffe, Dean Parish, Tobi Legend on the same 45, came out in 1978/9 and bought in a local record shop that had a tiny box of pressings for sale... or it might have been Coloured Man on Black Magic.

Garnet Mimms- Looking For You . I paid a fiver for a well played copy, it was the first time I brought an US import.

I had been buying lots of UK issues Id found in junk shops round the East End , Jimmy Radcliffe , Jay and The Americans, Sandy Wynns (tee hee) ect ect ect for between 10 & 20 p
