I went to a Sean Cassidy concert...so that's worse!!! 4th row, almost caught his t-shirt!!

First album was Billy Joel The Stranger but I think that was a gift. First one I bought was probably Leif Garrett.

I saved my pennies and ordered a K-Tel album off TV!!!! The main reason was for the song "Kung Fu Fighting". :)

My brother got the Bay City Rollers album for Christmas a year later, BTW... LOL

Luna

09-21-2008, 01:55 AM

OMG.. we had kung fu fighting on 5. LOL LOL LOL.. my parents used to pick us up a 45 when they went shopping and that was one of them. I think they paid 25¢ and each Saturday they would buy us whatever was on the top 10.. heehehehe

It was either the Bay City Rollers or the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever...

My music taste has improved greatly since then!

Boy, am I feeling old! Not sure, but it might have been a Bobby Darin album or possibly Jan & Dean. I know it pre-dates The Beatles. Please tell me I'm not the only dinosaur out there.

It also had the forgettable, "Get Dancin'", by Disco Tex and the Sex-o-lettes. No kidding.

I grew up with my grandparents for the most part...I may be the only person my age who knows what a 78rpm record looks like and I used to play my mom's 45 of "The Great Pretender" by The Platters all the time...is that close enough? :))):

That's plenty close. I'm not sure I owned any of their records, but I do remember them. I didn't collect, but my older brother had a large collection of 78's and I'd bet that he had some.

Of course, if I tell my kids that they're sounding like a broken record, they ask, "What's a record?"

My cousin's daughter is 14 this year...she loves to ask her mother if she has any 8-track tapes or vinyl albums because she "wants to see what you did for music in the old days." :lmao

It was the 45rpm of Rod Stewart's "Reason to Believe" and the B-side was "Maggie May"

Does she also ask, "what's a beta-tape?" Is that some kind of prototype?"

God, we're old! OK - I'm old, you're not.

teach them to your kids...there's nothing else to do with them, and they continue to take up brain space!!

ha! ha! Yes Fever.. i should download them and get my kids into those songs.. hee hee

We had some 78's that belonged to my dad when he was a kid.. one called "Black Denim Trousers" which was hilarious. I could sing it now..

Also.. we had some good 8 track tapes with 50's songs on them.. one which was all classic Burt Bacharach, which is why I still sing when I hear muzak today..
