Do you remember them? 33 rpm or 45 rpm... Noise and scratches and bulky record players... Which one was your first record? --- The photo has been taken at Balon :-)
Ve li ricordate? 33 giri o 45... Rumore e graffi e monumentali giradischi... Quale fu il vostro primo disco? --- La foto รจ stata scattata al Balon :-)
Oh my. Had plenty of Elvis records starting with Don't Be Cruel and going from there. Thanks for the memories Fabrizio!
ReplyDeleteNot only remember, but also miss them!
ReplyDeleteThe first album bought with my own money was News of the World by Queen. It is still there at "home" in Italy. Have a nice week. Ciao. A.
ReplyDeleteActually, the first one was one of the Beach Boys;can't remember the name but lots of surfin' and car music.
ReplyDeleteAnd my first album bought with my own money was "The Beatles" (White Album) - made in Yugoslavia :))
ReplyDeleteSouvenirs, souvenirs... My first one was a single. Don't laugh please, it was Umberto Tozzi...
ReplyDeleteA bizarre record for children called 'Sparky's Magic Piano'. It used to frighten the life out of me.
ReplyDeleteOh fabulous! I remember having lots of these sort of records. Can't really names - Elvis, of course. Some rock and roll guy who had a curl in his hair. Can't remember his name now...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting that things that were once SO important - well now I can't even remember the name?
Joo me too I miss them. Elvis Virginia? Good ! Beach Boys BSquared? oh I loved so much them. I Qeeeeeeeen: impazzivo per Freddy Mercury e a Londra ho cercato la sua tomba (ma credo sia stato cremato).
ReplyDeleteFio and Beatles: wonderful couple :-) And no cieldequimper I don't laugh because my very first 45rpm was Azzurro by Adriano Celentano
Jilly, it happens yes. It shows that probably we realize how he / she definitely wasn't so terrific in our life.
Il primo album.... "Strung Up" dei "Sweet"...1975!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do, my dad has plenty of vinyls and my husband has a few.
ReplyDeleteJilly, The curl,,,, Jerry Lee Lewis maybe???
ReplyDeleteV
My first one, Lucille/Little Richard... but I've lost it very soon playing pocker !
ReplyDeleteWere you a fan of South African Miriam Makeba? I still have her record that has the "Click" song on it. I have kept a number of my favorite albums.
ReplyDeleteFabrizio - I've been selling off Piero's and my vinyl record collection on ebay - have made quite a lot of money. Some 1970s new Wave stuff has fetched $100-$150. Quite a bit of it has been bought by Europeans.
ReplyDeleteI have bought a new energy efficient refrigerator on the proceeds!
Seeing the prices here - 4 Euros each, I can see why mine are attractive to bid on. I start most auctions at about $3.99 Australian, which is about 2 Euros. But many sell for a lot more than that!
PS I think the first record I owned was either The Seekers or Simon and Garfunkel. Or maybe the soundtrack of The Sound of Music (mono).
ReplyDeleteMy dad had a bumber of 78s I used to like.
Hey I have that Beach Boys LP. It's only worth 4.00. Dissapointing.
ReplyDelete45rpm: Beat's so lonely by Charlie Sexton
ReplyDelete33rpm: a few from the Beatles were already available at home, but I clearly remember Born in the Usa by Springsteen and Legend by Bob Marley, I can't recall the rest so I assume those were the first ones...
