My mother bought the 45 for me as I read the word "records" off the wall in the department store we were in. Not bad for a 3 year old. I also remember that every year during the holidays, the parents would pull out a bunch of records (some 78's) which we would listen to as my parents sung, the one I remember was "16 Tons", love that song. The first record I paid for with my own money was Abbey Road in 1969. My Beethoven-loving father would not just buy the record for me, I had to pay him for it in order for him to go to the store and buy a "beatles" record. It was 5 dollars which was a lot for a poor kid of 7, lol. The first record I actually went to the record store, bought with my own money and brought home to immediately listen to was Black Sabbath's Sabotage in 1975 when I was 13.

The Jungle Book Soundtrack (1967). My first album released in August 1967 and bought for my third birthday a month later. I still own it and it's still in excellent condition.

We had the record of the story - same voices, etc. My folks used to put it on as we lay in bed supposed to be falling asleep.

Re: First Songs You Remember Hearing
I had that, tho the cover was different—more of a brownish background. That and a performance of Swiss Family Robinson, excerpted from the Disney movie, stand out in my memory as full albums I played a lot.Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 Dec 2021, 1:30pmThe Jungle Book Soundtrack (1967).

Re: First Songs You Remember Hearing
I do recall a headless horseman record now that we would play while spinning around in circles till we fell down. And probably some Iris folk music before any rock music now that I think about it. My dad mainly listened to the all news channel.
Re: First Songs You Remember Hearing
Rock was played in my house when I was young, so it could have been anything by Sabbath, Bowie, Cooper, ELP, or Mott The Hoople. I seriously don't remember.
Re: First Songs You Remember Hearing
Can't exactly recall, but my dad played lots of country / western music, so it was probably Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson. Mom was Elvis & Johnny Mathis type stuff.

Caribbean Queen—Billy Ocean
Never Gonna Give You Up—Rick Astley
Mona Mona—Peter Cetera
The Locomotion—Kylie Minogue

Re: First Songs You Remember Hearing
Wow, I never knew The Locomotion was such a big hit in the US. It sounds so rinky dinky and shit.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: First Songs You Remember Hearing
I looked this up because I was curious and it turns out there was a 1987 version produced by Mike Duffy, and then a 1988 version by SAW that was the big hit as far as I can tell (at #3 for a couple weeks). They also produced Astley, as you probably know, so I bet it was riding on the Never Gonna Give You Up success from the previous year.

Re: First Songs You Remember Hearing
It’s a testament to how checked out I was from pop music in general from about 1987-1989 (with a few exceptions) that I have no memory of hearing almost any hits from this period until much later.Kory wrote: ↑20 Dec 2021, 7:28pmI looked this up because I was curious and it turns out there was a 1987 version produced by Mike Duffy, and then a 1988 version by SAW that was the big hit as far as I can tell (at #3 for a couple weeks).

Definitely Dancing Queen and various songs off of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. For ages, I thought the Bee Gees were women.
