[Music] What was the first single that somebody else bought you?

[Han Solo]

I remember it like yesterday. Boris turning up outside my door with Ms Svetlana...

Oh.. music single. Dunno, not sure it ever happened.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

My brother bought me Amateur Hour by Sparks on my tenth birthday.

PrIor to that, my sister and I had gone halfers on The Laughing Gnome as my first single.

Still got them….

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

My brother bought me Amateur Hour by Sparks on my tenth birthday.

Great choice! On the old Island label, B side Marry Me.

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

Great choice! On the old Island label, B side Marry Me.

Aye, that’s the feller!

 

[studio150]

An EP rather than a single

 

[BN9 BHA]

 

[brighton terra]

When I was 12 my then girlfriend bought me Figaro by Brotherhood of Man

 

[lawros left foot]

The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde. Georgie Fame.

I can’t remember who bought it for me, but I still know every word of it, and occasionally find myself singing it.

 

[Ethelwulf]

For my birthday number 12 in 1984 freedom by Wham

 

[Anger]

First single? That would have been a Jack Daniels.

I know, I know… all I can say is that I was young and didn’t know the better spirits.

That’s another U.S. brand to strike off.

 

[heathgate]

NOT the first (obviously very cool ) single you bought for yourself.

A friend of my parents bought me If I Had A Hammer by Trini Lopez. I still love it

The night Chicago Died ... Paper Lace

 

[ozzygull]

My brother bought it for me

still love it

 

[Rdodge30]

Daddy Cool by Darts. As I'd just discovered rock particularly Thin Lizzy and The Stranglers that piece of vinyl ended up with boiling water poured on it in an attempt to turn it into an ash tray!

Well daddy who? ……

Loved it.

 

[Mattstrugnell]

A whisky at Piries in Horsham around 1989, might've been a double, can't remember.

 

[Superphil]

Slightly OT, but BBC4 now, DISCO tunes

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Vodka and lime.

As for music singles, nobody has ever bought me one.
That would be weird.

First album....

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
My mum bought it for me for Christmas from Virgin Clock Tower,
It jumped so she had to go back for a replacement
That also jumped.

I asked her if...
That was the closest my mum ever came to telling me to f*** Off.

 

[Justice]

"I'm The Leader Of the grooming Gang (I Am)" by Gary Glitter. My nan bought it for me when I was 5.

Corrected
