What's the Earliest Song/Record You Remember ?
 

As a companion piece to the moderately popular Birthday No,1 thread,This thread arises from a conversation I had at work today,I realised that the earliest record I remembered hearing was "Needles and Pins" by The Searchers in the early Sixties (Yes I'm older than I look:p)

So What is the earliest Song/Record You remember ?

Buddy Holly. My dad was/is a big fan and played his records a lot. Especially on a Saturday when he had a few beers.

When I was little, Dad used to sing Ghost Riders in the Sky to me at bedtime.
I don't know whose version of it he liked, this is Johnny Cash.

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch - Don Juan

Still love it today

My parents used to listen to radio 4 all the time, so I never got to listen to music, went to a mates house messing about with their record player, went through their admittedly very small collection, thought music it's rubbish, then on a b side, Sloop John B, a love was born.

Played it over and over again, then got into loads of different stuff, good times, but now music is rubbish, but then I'm old :D

I hate to admit it but there was one song as a young kid haunted me for years after and was truly awful-Chirpy Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep by Middle of the Road. I hated that song with a vengeance and when we went on holiday to Spain they played it every night in the hotel.

A very strange mix:D

Fading memory does not let me remember the first one. However the First one I remember ever getting excited about was :

She Loves You by The Beatles

It's a difficult question to answer :( I know the group but not the song.
My Dad's a big fan of the Shadows and used to play thier records all the time.

Here's a couple of thier most famous records,

Morningtown Ride by The Seekers.

Apparently, my mother played this to me in my cradle to make me sleep. I heard it again in 2003 and remembered it vividly, even though I hadn't heard it for nearly 40 years. It is a superb lullaby.
