What was the title of the first 45 rpm record you bought?

LOL
Remembers 8 track.
The biggest question was always, how many plays are you going to get before the machine eats the tape.

I got to be an expert splicing 8-tracks and cassettes with Scotch tape and with a pencil to reel in cassettes.

Abbey Road was....interesting. I did like it though, especially Oh Darling & Come Together (and Aerosmith's cover of Come Together is one of the few covers I like). I didn't love Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour so much.

Side 2 is just brilliant, from beginning to end.

I got into Led Zeppelin* instead of the Beatles. Beatles is girlie music.

* @Hamish Howl's favorite band.

Everyone else argued about the Stones and the Beatles but I was all about the Who. Thought Live At Leeds was the best rock album that could ever be made.
Just needed more numbers on the volume dial.
First album was the Doors, Strange Days though. First 45 something from the early Beatles.
 
I was in 9th grade and remember this song as a wow. The track would shift from the left and then to the right speaker. I stayed away from pot until the following year and the song was even more impressive with a good buzz!

The Beatles were a dismal boy band.

Led Zeppelin isn't even proper music. It's the English Olympic yodeling team. It is a blight on the Earth, and proof of a malevolent deity.

What is your favorite Zeppelin hit? Most people say Stairway to Heaven but mine is Kashmir.

Fun facts - they'd never been to Kashmir but had visited Morocco and that inspired the song. It took three years to write. Bonham didn't get a writing credit for the song as his alcoholism prevented him from contributing in a meaningful way.

Never got into the Beatles or the Stones. I think the first album I bought when I went to college was “Who Are You”. Loved it.

The only 45 I remember listening to was Sugar Sugar by the Archies. My first album was The Beatles '62-'66 (double album).

Post cereals back in the day like Super Sugar Crisp and Alpha Bits had The Archies “records” pressed on the back of the boxes. You cut them out of the box and played them on a record player. They sounded like crap, but as kids, what did we care? They were free. Sugar Sugar was one of the songs. The Monkees and Bobby Sherman also had cereal box records.

For some reason, my older sister still has a few of those cardboard records.

My other favorites, though you were asking someone else, are Black Dog, Dancing Days, Livin' Lovin' Maid, and Rock and Roll.
