I bought a Dansette record player, complete with some albums which were: Help - The Beatles, Revolver - The Beatles and Sloop John B - The beach Boys.
A boy who lived up the road from me sold them to me because he needed the money…total…£10.00 in 1968.

It was “Meet Me On The Corner” by Lindisfarne.
Smokey Robinson “Being With You”, cant remember what year tho!!
But I remember my big brother playing “Lindisfarne” on his little record player when I was quite young.

This will date me - Summer Holiday by Cliff Richard cost 6 shillings and I still have it!

These are fun to read! My first one was, You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me by Dusty Springfield. I was so proud of buying that record!
