'Streets of Loredo'.Not sure who sang that version,but it came free with a record player my mum and dad gave me for xmas '69. Still one of my favorite records of all time.
I got a box from my cousin in 89 and it had these singles in it:
Addicted to love- Robert Palmer Down Under- Men At Work Mony Mony (live) - Billy Idol Walk Like an Egyptian- Bangles Bridge Over Troubled Water- Simon & Garfunkel Total Eclipse of the Heart- Bonnie Tyler I Want You To Want Me- Cheap Trick How Deep is Your Love- Bee Gees I Love Rock 'n Roll- Joan Jett & The Blackhearts We Are The Champions- Queen
Drivin' My Life Away - Eddie Rabbit
or it could have been
Pop Muzik - Robin Scott
Can't remember, I was like 3 or 4 when they came out, and I loved them
Dont know if it was the first one, but the first one i remember being given was,
"Red Red Wine" by ub40
a girlfriend gave me a 10cc single cos the b side "said" alot.
played it once through up ,dumped her.
its time to run
I Believe In Father Christmas - Greg Lake. Brother was into ELP so gave me this mid seventies.
My aunt gave me a 45 of the Monkees' "Last Train To Clarksville" when I was 4 and I tresaured it for years...
The first 12" i bought was Timelords - Doctor'in the Tardis.
The first 7" i bought was Whitelion - When the children cry..
No one ever gave me anything...
Too bad. No one has given me any records yet. (As far as I remember)
The first single that I had was Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas (B-side 'Feed The World'). I bought it back in Christmas of 1983.
I Think they are a one-hit wonder. Until now, I'm still waiting for Band Aid's second single. hehehe
Indeed!
My cousin gave me 'New Rose' by the Damned. Mum wouldn't let me play it again after the first time and my cousin got a bollocking.
I must have been nine years old...
Given, eh? some record store clerk slipped in a copy of that Shaddup You Face 45 in my bag after buying some album...I didn't notice it until I got home.
Maybe was an Elton John 7" when I was 7-8yrs old. I threw away all my 7" singles that I had when I was a kid long ago, in a fit of rebellion against the past I guess.
A record clerk gave me the Komokino flexi 7". Think that was the only nice gesture I ever received from a record store clerk. Probably saw it as a chance to unload the flexi-single to get rid of it.
video killed the radio star. it's now my karaoke track of choice. i hold my nose for authenticity.

oooh that's the first single i bought! yeah yeah, that's another thread, i know...
No one ever gave me a single, but the first one I bought was "Ava adore" by Smashing pumpkins. Until then, I either bought or was given albums.
