It seems that there may be other near-wrinklies(a.k.a. those who remember The Tremeloes

).
So in order to indicate your own generation music-wise:
Which was the first record you purchased.If it was not on vinyl you are still young.

Single: Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds. IIRC it was 6sh. 8p.

Album: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Or Old Speckled Hen.

A dose of each maybe?

I've had a glass of white now and I recall FREE the album but the single may take more memory lubrication.

FREE the album

I was so dissappointed with that ,I took it back & complained so much that I was allowed to change it for the "Fire & Water" album.
It never occured to me at the time that the record store was not responsible for the production/recording not being to my satisfaction
