In Reply to: How many folks here had record players as children and what did you listen to? posted by chriss on September 17, 2006 at 07:58:03:
Oooo... Nice thread.I love posts like this. My first record player was one of those thingy's that you could carry around and it could play on both AC/DC power and included a little AM radio in it too.
Then I got one of those GE fold out mono record players, in gray in the fourth grade and I also got some records each year too. On my 7th birthday, I received several Walt Disney children's records, a couple of winnie the pooh records and such. I still have a bunch of those and some on the venerable Golden Records label. Then when I had surgery that year, someone from church gave me a bunch of Crickett 45's, one I still have. Chilly Willy and I forget the flip side but had Reuben, Reuben and My Little Tea Pot until a friend and I in about 5th grade scratched the bejeebers out of it in the rocks. :-)
Then got my first true stereo, one of those all in one jobs from Hitachi that included a cassette player/recorder, am/fm tuner and a BSR changer. Owned it for 7 years and burned out all but one light in the radio dial and finally "upgraded", if you will to a Sansui rack system that was of true components but cheap stuff, including a cheap assed DD table that had a huge wow from the rotating magnet dragging on one spot on the stator board. I still use the integrated as part of my PC system but that's all that remains.
My first foray into pop music came when I got a small stack of 45's mof of them from the mid to late 60's. Shades of Blue's Happiness on the red Impact! label, something on the yellow and white Atco label that had a song called Chick, Chick(sp?) and an intrumental on the flip side and some others. Then some 45's at the GoodWill a short time later and one of those was the Doors on Electra doing Mosquito and It Slipped my Mind. Then in the mid 70's discovered top 40 AM radio and from there the 70's disco, pop and rock stuff and as they say, the rest is history.
