First and most embarrassing records bought
The first record I bought was The Lion Sleeps Tonight by Tight Fit and my most embarrassing would be a close contest between The Krankies – Fandabidozie and Starmaker by The Kids from Fame. Go on – who’s next to confess?

Relax – Frankie goes to Hollywood.
I was at school when Radio 1 banned it, so me and my mates had to go and buy it to see what it was about – being so young we didn’t understand. Quite funny looking back at it how a mates parents avoided explaining it to us – probably more embarrassing for them!
😀

Ok, lets go embarrassing route then and not first… how about "The New Kids on the block single"… or even Vanilla Ice’s Album…. can I add that I was DJ Beak back in the day 😛 😛 :lol1:

I think the only rule should be that the entries exist on youtube.com and that the judging is based on the actual "you tube" version posted. if you catch my drift? 😀
it will be a vote for the judging based on registered users…

I own a 78. All I Have to do is Dream – Everley Brothers.
It doesn’t count though, because I didn’t buy it. My sister did. :tongue:
Dawn, there’s nothing wrong with The Lion sleeps Tonight. In fact on a stag night only last summer there was about twenty of us singing that in the pedestrian underpass in Weymouth. Brilliant acoustics. 😀

Happy Talk by Captain Sensible.
Hard to beat in the crap stakes I’d say.

My first single was Neanderthal Man By HOTLEGS who later went on to become the fantastic 10cc who I had the pleasure of seeing on a few occasions too.
So to sum it up that was an embarrassing single but they made up for it. :lol1:Second single was BLACK KNIGHT by DEEP PURPLE not too embarrassing 😳
-
errr I think mine was Bros or sommat 😳

Sometime long ago, a few of us in the office were members of the "Brittania Music Club". Remember, you got discounted CD’s as long as you bought every month! If you didn’t select, you ended up with the "club choice". Imagine, 8 guys havin a dutch auction on, Rick Astley, never gonna give you up!!. based on todays schecht, does,nt seem that bad.
Well maybe!!Still got mine, ebay, here we come.

my most embarrassing is difficult, in the early 90’s i did continued to run a mobile disco that my dad had run for a number of years prior to taking a job that meant he couldnt commit to it any more, i bought loads of records that i would’ve never normally bought, jason donovan, bros, etc !! hated the stuff but had to play it, blue monday, frankie goes to hollywood, snap, adamski, and most dance, rave etc was more my thing !
