billh Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 That's a good question I don't remember. It was some time in the 60's. Here's a list that might of been the first, Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix , Rolling Stones, Jethro Tull, James Gang, Arlo Guthrie, Janis Joplin and anyone else from that era take your pick. Wasn't my first but I remember buying Big Bambu by Cheech & Chong lol and laughing WOW!!! flash backs looking them up and looking at the album covers Now I want to dig out my old albums and 45's lol "I'm Retired" Donations PayPal.Me/artistview .

mikeyk Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 First record bought for me was Pilot - January First records I bought were Rain - Status Quo and Squeezebox - The Who. There was a discount voucher in one of the old music papers (Sounds or NME, I forget now) which gave you a hefty reduction at WHSmiths, so off I trotted. Still got all three records! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny c Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 One of the first I think (it was a long time ago) was a 45 by the Shadows, cant remember which one .

"Mama'a got a squeezebox, and Daddy never sleeps at night!" I remember some bloke slagging me off for playing January by Pilot on a station called OMR! They later joined Alan Parsons I believe? Was one of their other singles "Smile" I am trying to remember? January=Great song! and from memory it was released in...............January!

mikeyk Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 You got it Mr Burton! According to Wikipedia, Alan Parsons produced January. We've got a CD of their stuff here, hardly a greatest hits, but good enough. My stepmum was torn between buying me January or something by The Wombles, am I glad she opted for Pilot! Just A Smile was one of Pilot's other well known tracks, I like it anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKIye Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Good Question ... I recall an artist James Allen (or Allan) ... but I forgot the songtitle The cover of this vinyl single was purple/blue with the artist on the leftside and the Tower Bridge into the background Maybe Arthur reminds something of these details ... (??) I bought that first record ... somewhere in 1967 / 1968 ... Yes guys .. I was at that time "just" 7 > 8 years old I guess you know now the reason why I'm addicted to music I don't have a clue if that track should excist as mp3 ... anyway .. the mp3 would be welcome Visit and listen @ BW !

You may be referring to a picture sleeve released on the continent. They were very rare in the UK back then. For some strange reason, I don't know why- I feel you may mean Richard Barnes?
