1st 45, 33, or 78 you oldtimers bought
Since quite a few of us grew up in the 40's, 50's and 60's when 45's were king, I thought I'd add this to the thread on your first album. Here we go.... mine was Dean Martin>"When the Moon hits Your Eye..." yeah I know...kinda corny! But I had the band play that at my wedding.........

My grandmother used to buy my sister and me a 45 on alternating weeks. We'd give her our wish list and she'd deliver when she got paid on Fridays. As I recall my first one was Little Deuce Coop by the Beach Boys. I'm not sure, but I believe they cost $0.75 each. She was a seamstress in a textile mill, so this was a generous offering. Sweet memories.

It is quite likely that this is the first 45 RPM record I bought or requested that my parents buy me:
 It remains one of my very favorite songs. I think 78 RPM records went out of production when I would have been 7 or 8 years old.

I'm not sure, but I think the 45 was "She Loves You," by the Beatles. First 33 was "Meet The Beatles." I never bought a 78 though my parents had quite a few of them when I was a kid in the '50s.

Don't remember the first 45, but it could have been "Hello Mary Lou / Travelin' Man) by Ricky Nelson.
My first LP was "Meet the Beatles." I can remember sitting in my 8th grade home room with it on my desk, feeling as cool as could be.

I only bought 33 rpm lp's. My first was a K-Tel Rocks Greatest Hits collection, shortly followed by Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall. I am still into collecting lp's.

1958:
Lonnie Donegan : "The Grand Coulee Dam" / "Nobody Loves Like an Irishman" UK No. 6 and Elias And His Zig-Zag Jive Flutes: Tom Hark / Ry-Ry In thosedays they'd ask "45 or 78?" We had a Decca Stereogram so we got 45s. Lonnie Donegan was a banjo player in a dixieland jazz band but is known for promting what we called "skiffle" and introduced the British youth tothe songs of Leadbelly and Woodie Guthrie etc.
