    The first record I ever bought, got it from that record shop on Eldon Arcade, still got it 50 odd years later, must admit I don’t play it much now.

    Can't remember the radio, but the TV was that coca cola advert ( 74 ish at a guess) I think it was " I'd like to teach the world to sing"

    Apologies. This should have been on the "Made me Laugh" thread.

    In addition to Flamingo Park and House of the Rising Sun as described in my earlier post on this thread, I have a brother who is 10 years older than me and he bought a few early Beatles albums including Rubber Soul, A Hard Day's Night and Help. So rather than listening to the radio, most of my early years were spent listening to The Beatles.

    Rubber Soul still stands out as a ground breaking and underrated masterpiece.

    Right Said Fred is a work of genius. I loved it as a kid and I still love it now. Always makes me smile.

    I used to listen to the Ed Stewart show on a battered old radio under the covers on a Saturday morning.

    What was that song about an american kids holiday camp?

    Not on radio, but on my dad’s gramophone- Fire Brigade, and Blackberry Way by the Move. Then See My Bany Jive by Wizzard. What a sound from that gramophone.
