Glen Campbell's 'Galveston' in Woolworths in lower Manhattan. That was in 1969, when I was 11 going on 12. Was waiting with my mom for Sterling Optical to finish making my glasses.
"More Greatest Hits," Connie Francis, 1962. Had a crush on her when I was a kid. Although I no longer care for most of the music she recorded, I still consider that when in her prime she had one of the best combinations of voice, talent, looks, and versatility (recording numerous genres in approximately 15 different languages), of any non-classical, non-opera female singer I have ever heard.
OK. No laughing here. I'm dating myself, but here goes. First vinyl was a 45(counts as vinyl, right) in July or August 1965. Rolling Stones: I Can't Get No Satisfaction; B-side - The Under-Assistant West Coast Promotion Man. Bought that bad boy at Woolworths in Coatesville, PA at age XX(yeah...). Got it home, put it on the RCA table my folks had. Got me an hour in my room when my dad heard it!!!!
Still have that bad boy here in NC now. Haven't played it in over 30 years, but it's still in the original jacket and all. My TT now doesn't play 45's, so it's on hold. Great question Brinmeliss that give me a smile and brought back some memoires on a Sunday afternoon.
