Favorite 45's

[Bridget]

How many of us here ;) are old enough to have had 45 records? Granted, they were on their way out, but I still had them (and still do, I think, somewhere in my house :blush: ).

Did you have them? Do you remember your favorites or the first one you bought?

I remember my sister bought me my first 45, which was "There's Something Going On" by Freida (she had been in Abba). :lol2: Then I think my next one was a Pointer Sister's song. 45's were fun. :nod:

I have some!!! I'm old though...... :heee:

I have a bunch that my Dad gave me from the 1950's.
The first one I ever bought for myself was Blondie - Heart of Glass. I bought it for a dance routine in jr. high gym class in 1980. :aok:

I'm the same age (give or take) as you guys, but I didn't have 45's? None that I can remember anyway. Maybe that's it, I'm just too old to remember. :(

I don't have any, but I remember growing up we had a few. One was Tennessee Waltz and I remember it b/c my mom loved it. Another was Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. I still love that long.

I had some but the only one I can remember is my Grease 45. :biggrin:

I'Maybe that's it, I'm just too old to remember.

I loved 45s. Embarassingly, one of the only ones I can remember owning was "We Built This City" by Jeferson Starship. :blush:

We had a bunch of my uncle's old 45s. Our all time favorite was The Partridge Family/David Cassidy song "I think I love you!" We collapsed in fits of giggles every time the he sang the low "I don't know what I'm up against, I got so much to think about..." :lol:

Does an LP count? I had a friend send me an LP of Robin Gibb's Boys Do Fall In Love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFNw58Bu7_o&search=robin+gibb+

I think I still have most of my 45s in a box in the back of the closet (with my LPs of course :lol: ). I can't remember which was my first. I do have a couple that were part of an All City Choir that I sang with in 5th grade. It was really cool to cut a *record* at a fairly big studio! I'm pretty sure that I had Shaun Cassidy's "Da Doo Run Run."

[Nichole]

Remember those flimsy plastic 45s that would come on cereal boxes or whatever? They were always square. :lol:

[Barb]

Yes, I remember those. :lol:

[bunybomb]

Motocycle Mama by Sailcat! How's that one for all you youngins'?! :lol: Bet you never even heard of it.

The Bitch is back - Elton John. I remember blasting that song and feeling so rebellious due to swearing.

Da doo ron ron - Shawn Cassidy.

I *think* I still have some of these along with my LPs, or big black CDs that my kids refer to them as. :giggle:

Thanks for the blast to the past Brydge!

Ah, the first 45 I ever purchased myself was David Bowie "Let's Dance" I think I played that til the needle broke on the record player. I also had a ton of stuff that was my aunt's. Donny Osmond singing "Puppy Love" anyone?

[Bridget]

I had a giant door-sized poster of Donny Osmond (and also Andy Gibb). He was dreeeeeeamy. Sigh.

:lol:

[Brandi Jo]

With his big shiny white teeth! :lol:

[Missy&Maggie]

I had "Car Wash" :lol: and Snoopy and the Red Baron. That's all I can remember.

[schwanda]

I used to go to the local pharmacy and buy 45s after school! (Yes, I'm old!!!!)
My 1st 45 was Joan Jett and the Blackhearts: I Love Rock n Roll.

The only 45's I had were my parents old ones (I did have my own LPs though). I recall Herman's Hermits 'Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter', and 'yummy, yummy, yummy' (dont know the band), and Mamas & Papas 'California Dreamin'.

[Missy&Maggie]

I just remembered another one. I had "Funkytown" -- stolen from my big brother I think.
