Apache by The Shadows. Bought it for my Mum for her birthday - or so I said, but in reality I desperately wanted it but couldn't afford it, so when Dad gave me money to buy Mum something........  And yes, we still have it! |

My first 45 rpm single was bought with pocket money, it was called My Sweet Lord by George Harrison. I wasn't religious then and i'm not particularly now, i just loved the record. Whenever i hear it now, i think back to the days when i bought the single in WH Smiths all those years ago!

I was lucky in that I had an older brother and sister so I just listened to all their records.
The first single I ever bought with my own money was Witch's Promise by Jethro Tull........ Loved it !

Oh What a Night by Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons. It's still a good song today.

Some really great singles there!
I loved Gary Numan too!
Most of these singles still stand the test of time, classics!

Mine was 'Every which way' by John Barry. Now worth around £50 I think.
