Your first 45rpm single?

[Ted]

elvis costello---radio radio.

Your first 45 single?  Really?  That is too awesome!

Were you already an album buyer at that point, or did you start with 45's and then move up to albums?

I think This Year's Model was one of the first five albums I bought with my own money--but only after several years of buying top-40 singles.

If you bought Radio Radio at the same phase of life when I was buying Love Will Keep Us Together, you are way too cool by now for me to even know you.

yeah Hi Ted.

No when I was about 14 I only brought 45s.

But Radio Radio was my first single----- about six months ago i was lucky
enough to have the drummer who played with ELVIS COSTELLO &
ATTRACTIONS  -- he played a few song on the Armed Forces LP.
and he played stand in for our drummer . during a gig.

thats cool !

Summer Breeze was written and performed (superbly, as always) by The Isley Brothers.

I think it was written and first recorded by Seals & Crofts, then covered by The Isley Brothers a year later. At least, that's what Wikipedia says.

[guitarron]

my first record was you where made for me by freddy and the dreamers about 1964 or 1965 i think

I'd love to see an oldrottenhead video of this - complete with the dance.   Cheesy

Please?

Pretty please?

no way jose. tho i can do the dance, can remember when top of the pops was on at my grans house my aunts would move the furniture to one side of the room so they could dance to whatever was on, i recall doing the dance on many such occasions.

ORH doth protest too much.

Have you ever noticed how you never see Freddie Garrity and ORH in the same place at the same time?  Hmmm?  Have you?

you have all to see the great & tragic movie about Joe Meek who produced this song at his london appartment. the "stamping bass drum sound" comes from the guys who stamped up the stairs which was prepared with microphones! the movie is called telstar, the story of Joe meek
Meek used his apartment at 304 Holloway Road, Islington, as a recording studio. Three UK No. 1 hits were produced there: "Johnny Remember Me" by John Leyton, "Telstar" by The Tornados and "Have I the Right?".[
