What's the FIRST record you ever remember hearing?

[The Timekeeper]

Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep - Middle of the road - In my Dads old car when I was about 3, was the first song I remember listening to. Bits and Pieces by The Dave Clark Five also sticks in my mind - Thank God it wasn't Glad all over or who knows what would of happened - Shit that's scary!!
1st Album I bought was Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy - I was 10.
Used to clear out all the old juke boxes for the landlords round the Horsham area and built my record collection up from there, now own approx 7k on vinyl.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

These Boots Are Made For Walkin' by Nancy Sinatra. I've had a 'thing' for boots ever since, funnily enough..

 

[Barrow Boy]

Don't. I was already 21 then!

Thankyou Knotty I'm not the oldest on this thread, I was 15 when 'Sugar Sugar' came out

First thing I remember actually registering was "Bohemian Rhapsody" I can clearly remember ity coming on the radio and my little mind thinking WOW, very very clear memory of where I was etc.

 

[phil1977]

The Model by Kraftwerk c.1981/2 which I believe got to no.1. Very dated now but still sounds good imho.

 

[Barrow Boy]

From out of the mists of time I seem to remember a God awfull dirge by Eartha Kitt called 'The day that the Circus left town', it was on an old 78 and used to scare the hell out of me each time I heard it (I must have been about 3 or 4).

The version by Big Black on "Songs About f***ing" is even better...

Kraftwerk were the first live band that I went to see (can't remember how old, but my brother took me). I do remember falling asleep during it though.

Local band. I believe Mr Sharpe was schooled at Cottesmore Secondary..Or maybe it was De L Salle. Dick Knight's Mum will confirm or deny.

Dunno where this comes from but for me it's Orinoco Flow by Enya.

Also have memories of my dad playing The Beautiful South, Madness and Squeeze on the stereo.
