My first ever record..Parlophone label,From me to you,The Beatles.1963. (got it right here with me) :rolleyes:
Did you play it on a dansette mono or His Masters Voice (with the dog and speaker logo) Or was you posh and had a sterogram with a lift up lid in the middle :D
Never mind a dansette, we had a wind up gramophone with a big horn, true! :rolleyes: [ 27. September 2005, 07:25 PM: Message edited by: jjordie ]
You bad lads :D Yes initially both at the same time - well practiced at sitting down straight backed to avoid showing stocking tops and above - no doubt you ageing lotharios will remember the some of the sights around at that time. :D Thank god for the advent of tights
Amen, Fran!! I also had a Dansette record player. But my first ever 78 was of David Whitfield singing "Angelus". But at the time jjordie had the wind-up gramaphone, I also still have the 78 of that time of Johnny Ray's "Cry" Beat that!!
I rememember it well Fran, stocking tops...well I've had to censor myself, part of the fun of courting.
Never mind stocking tops - do you remember 'Liberty Bodices' with rubber buttons? These were for younger girls and were yuk to wear!
Lost me :confused: But the wife says she wore one at infants school :confused: :confused: What wus they??? She not saying,just laughing! [ 28. September 2005, 09:51 AM: Message edited by: Paladin ]
I have heard of them, sort of under cardigan? no sister found things out the hard way, the odd slap here and there.
Liberty bodices!! I remember them too - they were like a little thick waistcoat that you wore under your jumper but on top of your vets - I mean vest! They were underwear and, like bloomer knickers, a definite no-no for anyone to see. Speaking of which, my mum always stitched a little pocket in my bloomers for my handkerchief! [ 28.
