HAD AN INTERESTING CHAT WITH SOME MATES DOWN THE PUB THE OTHER DAY AND HIT UPON THE SUBJECT OF WHAT WAS THE FIRST RECORD YOU EVER BOUGHT SO I WONDERED ABOUT ALL YOU HARLEY FANS OUT THERE. I BET THERE ARE SOME EMBARRASSING ONES AS WELL AS SOME DECENT STUFF. SO C'MON, LET US KNOW. MAYBE ONE OF STEVES? MY FIRST RECORD BOUGHT WITH MY OWN MONEY AGED NINE WAS: I'LL SAY FOREVER MY LOVE BY JIMMY RUFFIN.

Steve's first-bought single was "Only Sixteen" by Craig Douglas in 1959.
He travelled to a record shop in Lewisham from New Cross Gate in south London on a 36 bus with his Auntie Gertie.
It was number one and easily out-sold Sam Cooke's American original. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, and the whistling is by Mike Sammes who, 15 years later, in the same studio, sang the mmmms and boom,boom, boom-booms for Steve on Mr Soft.

Rocket Man by Elton John.
Fab record and it even mentions one of my fav albums of all time!

The first single I ever bought was: Jeepster by T-Rex

The first album I ever bought was: Don't shoot me I'm only the piano player by Elton John

The first SH single I ever bought was: Mr Soft
The first SH Album I ever bought was: The Psychomodo

How embarassing is this? The first record I ever bought was in 1966. "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" by The Monkees!!!
