There are certain signposts and watershed moments in all our lives that leave a resonance with us. We remember joyfully passing our driving test and the sense of freedom it brought. We will always recall our first dance at our Wedding. We never forget a child’s first words or first steps.

And likewise we never forget our first record, cassette or CD. We can all remember our first single – going to the record shop, rushing home and playing it at 45RPM on the old gramophone or dansette record player over and over again, before finally flipping it over to be disappointed by the inferior B side!!

Whatever our age, the excitement and emotions of “My First Record” stay with us for all our lives, because music is one of the most powerful emotion evokers known to man. If you are in any doubt read the article below from the  BBC website.
