Whats the first record/CD you bought ?

First album I bought with my own money was Wings greatest hits when I was 13 from windows in Newcastle. A few weeks later I was in the Virgin store that had opened in Eldon Sq and this high pitched wailing came on the what's playing now. It was Geddy Lee from Rush and with my hasty purchase of Hemispheres a love of rock music was born. All my tmes were into punk and new wave so for ages I was swimming against the tide till I started going to rock discos in my mid teens.
 
You'll be surprised by this one; ABBA, The Album!:D
Although the preferred track is:
How many of you got it within 3 seconds? :D
 
Listening to Alicia keys!


Now David Ruffins, 'One More For The Lonely Hearts Club'
 
This must be one of the quickest 5 page threads ever. So many good memories. Well done for starting it Robin.:D

My kids had a night out there and have threatened to take me as well as going to motown soul nights in Liverpool.
Don't think my legs could take the toe tapping now.
So many great bands and singers!

Anyone seen or heard drizzabone soul family? Modern soul and doing the clubs for a while now, have a listen, there good.

I want to mention bands like Junior Walker, Harold Melville, Geno Washington, SOS band, Archie Bell, Bar Kays and Curtis Mayfield. These bands often only club bands don't get the recognition they deserve for promoting Northern Soul.

The best funk band has to be Earth, Wind & Fire. Unbelievable show!

The lads doing their footwork and twirls on the bloody talcum powder chucked down on the floor !
Get's EVERYWHERE that talc does :mad: - turns my fave black suede boots white or grey :mad:
All the girls doing their own style things too .

Listen to some great soul music .
Standing on solid ground, Just loving you , Simply Grateful , Its Too Late , Love don't come no stronger ,
Part time Party time Man , Man of Value , Rode by the Place (david ruffin) ,Take me to the top of the stairs ,

Hey Nosher. You could always go and just sit round the dance floor tapping your fingers on the table. You'll love it.:D

Just copy this and you'll fit in great................................

That's great info and some solid beats. In my younger days(ahem!) we did Top Rank in Liverpool and I think I remember doing Wigan but went to other discos all over the North West.
My collection is vast and I struggle to name them unless I hear or think of artists and their music. I have explored high and low for rare tracks of the genre artists and I'm always looking for more if I like them.
The scene was a great learning curve for me and my nous and humour ( behave!) came from the streetwise mods or even the skinheads from this big city of mine!
I can remember a time when ski heads were famous for their outlook on race, ethnicity, and there love of black music and culture.
Not the modern medias view!

Really good days
 
Anyone been to the Twisted Wheel ?
I always wanted to go and never managed to .
