First and last vinyl single bought

[Robbo29]

the 1st best album thread got me thinking about the good old 45, so here are mine

 

1st - T-Rex - Ride a White Swan 1970, at the tender age of 10

 

Last - The Jam - Going Underground, still one of my fave bands

[Josef Svejk]

Too tough. I still have a good number of vinyl singles. But doubt that I still have my first (whatever it was) and can't remember my last. Both were a long time ago.

 

But I wish you well with this thread!

[Soleilrouge]

I cannot remember the first but the last was Joe Dolce - shaddapya face

[manwiththestick]

First - De la soul, the magic number.

Last - pretty sure it was KLF, 3am eternal.

[VladimirIlyich]

First was M - Pop Music

 

Last was U2 - Pride In The Name of Love.

[md1892]

First & last was the infamous John Barnes "World in motion", bought it the day after we went out to the Germans in Italia 90.

[stevebaby]

Eric Burdon and the Animals, "House of the Rising Sun". 13 years old and it took a week's pocket money so I had to go on the rob to go to the pictures that week.

[Pureblood]

1st: The Toy Dolls - Nelly the Elephant

Last: The Fluid - Tin Top Toy

[milky]

Some great shouts here. I'll bring the tone down.

 

1st: 2Unlimited Maximum Overdrive, including the spectacular, unmissable, (if I remember right) Murphy's Megamix on the flip.

 

Last: Not sure, but I think it was a tune called Harry Choo Choo Romero, I Want Out (I Cant Believe).

[coachpotato]

1st, All Along the Watchtower - Hendrix

Last, Relax - FGTH.

[ChrisM]

1st - Cry Wolf, A-ha

Last - In Amber, Lowgold

[Rough Rider]

1st-Ub40-double a side Dont slow down and Dont let it pass you by

Last- Fuzzbox- Love is the slug

Must have been a bit fucked up on something to buy that Fuzzbox single.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Never was one for buying singles, but...

 

First : Going Underground by The Jam

 

Last one (I can remember) : Lip Up Fatty by Bad Manners

[sir roger]

First; Nice One Cyril by Cockerel Chorus - bought at half-price as an ' ex juke-box ' record in AliBaba Records in Walton Vale ( where the Wetherspoons is now ) they used to just leave a box of singles on the counter & take the middle out of them so they weren't worth pinching.

 

Last; A retrospective set of Jam singles quite a few years ago, I think.

[Pidge]

First: The Clash - White Riot (my first eBay foray)

 

Last: Bouncing Souls/Hot Water Music Split (gig pickup)

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

1st was either what your proposing status quo or I surrender Rainbow

 

Last was three together Take me for a little While 12 inch picture disc Coverdale and Page.Star fleet Brian May and friends(replacement) not sure if this counts as it was also called the first mini lp.Freebird Lynyrd Skynyrd 12 inch picture disc.

[mars]

First: Sparks - This town ain't big enough for the both of us

 

Last: Red Guitars Good Technology

[Strontium]

Not a damn clue what the last one was.

 

This was the first:

 

[Robbo29]

just listening to new radicals on the radio, still love that song

[Preston Red]

Not a damn clue what the last one was.

 

This was the first:

 

Awesome stuff right there Stronts.

 

First: Gat Decor - "Passion"

 

Last: Jai Zed - "Piano"

[razor]

It's a great tune, Stronts, but as a 12" does it count...?

 

I am ashamed I also have a Fuzzbox single (Rocking With Rita...!). In fact I have most of the singles mentioned here (except Lowgold, anything by Paige/May, Red Guitars, Fluid).

 

My first single was either Rock n Roll Ain't Noise Pollution by AC/DC or Kids in America by Kim Wilde. I think I try and change the real one for the other depending on who I am speaking to... but I think it was Wilde.

 

My last 12" was another old Italo slab that I couldn't get hold of at the time, but I think my last actual single was The Sea Nymphs Shaping the River. Quite rare, I believe. And as Thants would confirm, a thing of rare beauty.

I think I got a free Babyshambles 7" with the NME when I bought one for the first time in 15 years or something the other year. But it doesn't count.

[Croque Monsieur]

My mum bought me Boney M's 'Brown Girl in the Ring/Rivers of Babylon' in the late 70's cos I fucking loved that song.

 

As for my last vinyl I'm struggling to remember; probably 'The Wall' from Penny Lane Records on Bold Street (go figure).

Penny Lane Records was boss, I used to go to Bluecoat and the Penny Lane Records that was actually on Penny Lane itself was where i spent most lunchtimes.

 

First single i bought (with my pocket money from ASDA in Halewood) was "Walking on the Moon" by The Police.

Last one i can recall getting was "Fools Gold" by The Stone Roses. Then i bought a cd player and gave vinyl up.

[Dr.Filth]

First was 'Down in the Tube Station at Midnight' by The Jam.

 

Last was 'Last Night Another Soldier' by Angelic Upstarts, bought it on ebay for a mate a few years ago.

Same fist single here, was bought as one of those ex-duke box singles you could get a month or so after they left the charts. No idea of my last one.
