No, it was flowers in the rain. I thinkWasn't that the first ever track played on Radio 1?
Of course it was Daz! I should have know better! (er.... no, that was Jim Diamond! LOL!)No, it was flowers in the rain. I think
I haven't known what the Christmas number one was for at least 20 years. I lost interest about the mid 1990's. They were much better back then. More thought out. Christmassy etc.Do you think Christmas music was better back in the day too ?
My Dad spent many years in Australia and he used to like to sing "A pub with no beer" and "Down on misery farm". He liked Burl Ives, George Formby, Lonnie Donegan and Connie Francis. He also loved bagpipe music. That is my musical; heritage, but it did not hold me back!Growing up in the sixties we always had music playing in our house. My dad fancied himself as a bit of a crooner and was always singing away doing his Crosby impression.I was music mad as was my sister and Saturday morning was going into town and buying a single.If I recall my first record was probably a Beatles one or a Stones 45. My sister loved Dave Clark Five, who were big back then, and she had a soft spot for Adam Faith. Great memories !
"Flowers in the Rain".Wasn't that the first ever track played on Radio 1?
Same as first one I bought!First record I ever bought was "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits" LP on vinyl.
After hearing "The times they are a changin'" and "Blowin' in the wind" on the radio, I just had to hear more.
This was the first version and this was the cover photo.
Must be pretty rare now, could not find the vinyl album with this cover on eBay.

The first few records I bought were all mono. Stereo was unknown or rare and was regarded as something very exotic. You needed a special diamond needle on your record player to avoid damaging the stereo records. Many records were available in both mono and stereo versions and when you'd buy one they would ask which you wanted.Same as first one I bought!
Here is an old 'un,, in the first 5 or 6 albums I bought, from back of Rolling Stones album, Through the past Darkly. Note the Mono/Stereo bit at the top.
Unfortunately not a first edition, I didn't buy it till I went to Uni a few years after it was released.

My dad was always singing or whistling. Did my mums head in at times. And when he'd had a few in the pub he'd be off again ! He liked Perry Como, Jim Reeves, Nat King Cole, and most crooners. The record player was always on in the house, that's why I love music so much I guess.My Dad spent many years in Australia and he used to like to sing "A pub with no beer" and "Down on misery farm".

Favourite one? That is sooo hard, but I think John Wesley Harding just edges it, although my favourite one track is "Desolation Row" off Highway 61 Revisited.
He keeps tropical fish, he keeps tropical fish, in his underpants.I’ll see your sclub7 and raise you Alexis Sayle hello John got a new motor. But it was a picture disc too with him sprawled over a mk2 cortina dressed like Arthur Daley.
Three songs my father liked. He had these on old 78s. They sound so old-fashioned now.My dad was always singing or whistling. Did my mums head in at times.
