How cool is it buying the Kinks sunny afternoon as your first 45? Nice one Peter.

First record ever purchased was a 45 of Beatles' "Twist and Shout" Can't remember what I paid for it, but something under $1

my sister 1 year younger had all the beatle stuff,i remember her playing "i feel fine" a LOT, and i mostly just had an lp or 2,weird stuff like herb alpert,mason williams,the ventures-i still love the instrumentals! but i do remember two 45"s distinctly that i bought, "love is blue" by paul mauriat,and "ramblin gamblin man" by the bob seger band and wearing them both out,much to my parent's annoyance,esp,the seger record. i suppose this would have been around 1964-66. i really can't even listen to any bob seger record now,even that one.....tastes do change i suppose......

The first 45 I bought would have been a Beatles 45 in 1966. I don't remember which one, as I bought many that year. The first 45 my Mom bought and gave to me was Puff The Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul and Mary. That was in 1963 when I was five.

Woody, wasn't that back when he was calling the group the "Bob Seger System" and opening up for the MC5?
