Something Special

[Slinger]

Have you got an album, or even a single track, or a single ...err ...single, that means something special to you? Tell us about it, as long as it doesn't get too racy.

Actually, tell us even if it does.

A very recent track we heard Damien Rice - Women Like A Man, a fantastic demo track, it can be found on Qobuz. Does your equipment give that aggresssiveness, and feel for the music?

Hurt

I'll go with the idea that the first single you bought as a kid will always be special to you...

Space Oddity - David Bowie

If that seems pretty cool, the second single I bought was...

The Puppy Song - David Cassidy

picked raspberries & green beans during the summer of '65 (age 12) and bought my first record player , a massive, suitcase-like GE Trimline 300 with the US$60 I earned.
That's the summer that "Like A Rolling Stone" was released
my first record purchase was
Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited

Glad all over - Dave Clark Five.

I never buy some single, but the first albums I've bought were TED NUGENT Gonzo, STYX Paradise Theather and THIN LIZZY Live and dangerous ! I was in Germany for a school trip

I never really bothered buying singles, my first LP was YES - Fragile and my second Jethro Tull - Aqualung, still my two favourite artists and well listened to LP's.

 

[CN2112]

First single was Robin Gibb, Saved by the bell. First album was Rod Stewart, Every picture tells a story.

 

[Psyclopath]

My first single was Kate Bush Wuthering Heights. Early 1978. I can't remember the first album I'm afraid.

Further to my DCF post a combination of not having anything to play records on and higher education mean’t I didn’t buy an album until Roxy Music’s “ For Your Pleasure” which includes my all time favourite track “Editions of You”.
A guy in my hall played the Hollies “ He ain’t heavy he’s my brother” continually at all hours until we knicked his sole Wharfedale speaker.
I have unfortunately hated that song ever since - I’m now 72!

This is a single track I love I play it to friends and I just do not see the same light in their eyes . So I have to accept it must be me . Artist - James Grant , Album - My Thrawn Glory , Track - Jaquellines Shoes . Firstly I need to confess I love James voice deep liquid and filled with nuance , then the beautiful syncopated strings just make me ache . I got very lucky a few weeks ago I found out that James is playing the Philharmonic Music Room in Liverpool and got two tickets . My concert going has dropped off because I need a venue that is seated and many of the artists I want to see only play stand up venues , so 24 th May I get to see James and fingers crossed he may sing this . Give it a try and listen to it let everyone know if you like it and even if you do not .

After my first marriage hit the rocks in my early thirties I was determined to stay a bachelor, loved my mates, motorbikes and music way too much to let another woman spoil it.
Then I met Kelly out of the blue on social web site back in 2007. After talking via a chat room, then on the phone we met on a first date and I was smitten, completely.
We've been together eighteen years and married for sixteen years, had our ups and downs with health and family but are still going strong. I drag her all around the UK and Europe on the back of my motor bike and she has to listen to my music which mostly she doesn't like and for those little things I can't thank her enough.
Any-hoo after that first date riding home back to Darwen from Fleetwood I had my iPod blasting out New Rose by The Damned and me singing my lungs out all the way home.
So for me, it's still that special track and every time I listen to it it always reminds me of Kelly and that first date.
