The first records I ever bought with my own money were 45s. Crocodile Rock, The Theme from Happy Days, and Got To Get You Into My Life. I think that would make it '76...

I can't remember the first I got or bought, my earliest records were mostly 78s.

I remember searching through racks of old 45's in the early 60's.  I think I still have Hernando's Hideaway from that period.  I know I have the TAMLA release of Fingertips with "Little Stevie Wonder" - parts A and B, two-sided.

The first 45 that I ever bought was Ça Plane Pour Moi by Plastic Bertrand :mrgreen:
I remember seeing him perform on a trampoline at some tv show. Me being a ten year old boy thought that was pretty impressive.
I immediately tried to copy his jumping act on my own bed. With my little portable turntable pickup at max volume. My mum wasn't too happy... ;D

I still kinda like the song.
Here's a cool cover by The BossHoss

Hernando's Hideaway? That was a golden oldie by the early 60s.

Yup.  I'm sure that's why it was in the secondhand store.

First one was Last Kiss by J. Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers.

Oh where oh where did my baby go???

I liked the bass line. Sunshine superman was also another early one.

I just bought a Webcor mono turntable and was playing 45's and LP's today, it also plays 78's which is really why I bought it. I have a good Thorens for LP's and 45's.

School's out was the first single I would have liked to have bought, but then went for the AC Greatest Hits album (the one where they are all drawn as thirties mobsters, it sttled my career as an album buyer, singles from then on never had an appeal for me. My first single was much later and an odd choice: "Let's go to San Franciso Part I and II" by limey Beach Boys rip-offs The Flowerpotmen. The single was rumored to feature a pre-Deep Purple Jon Lord and Nick Simper, but it later turned out that they did not feature on the song, joining only the touring backing band of The Flowerpotmen. And I only bought that single because the song wasn-t available on album at the time. My second single was Might just take your life of DP because it featured a non Burn album B side. Which goes to show: Even as an adolescent I already had a collector's itch.
