My first 45 record I remember buying myself with my allowance was First Name Initial by Annette Funicello. How embarrassing!
Had a little better taste for first LP which was a Jan and Dean album, Surf City, I think.

My first 45 grown up record was "Wild Thing" by the Troggs. I used my birthday money to buy it.
I had quite a collection of children's records which came in the colors of red, blue, yellow and yes, black before I outgrew them.

@ QVCkitty1 As soon as I read Jimmy Clanton I starting thinking of his song "Venus in blue jeans" Wow...that was a long time ago!

The story about @Florist781 mom reminded me of my mother. I was walking around the house singing Feels Like the First Time by Foreigner. I didn’t think she was paying any attention to me, but when I got to the line "it must be the woman in you that brings out the man in me" she said, "And what guy fed you that line of ******?"

@qualitygal Was it "Let there be drums" by Sandy Nelson?
My first 45 was given to me by my grandmother when I was 10 years old . It was "Donna" by Richie Valens. (That is my name)

That 45 rpm is probably my first one, too. My mother bought it for me, soon after that, I started buying some records on my own, from my little allowance.
I remember that the one I had, actually had 4 songs from the movie,two on each side. One of the other songs was "Poor Boy", also in the movie. (All four were songs from the movie.) I can remember some of the lyrics for Poor Boy, and the melody. If I catch the movie on TV, I'm able to sing along.
I don't remember any other 45 rpm have more than one song on each side, so this was an oddity.
