First Record Bought

I have been filling in a book for my son called Dear Dad. It is full of questions such as ‘where did you meet mum?’ and this one ‘what is the first record you bought?’
I still have it, ‘The Shadows to the Fore.’ Bought in 1961, it was top of the ep (extended play) charts for 28 weeks. At the same time I also bought ‘The Crickets don’t ever change’ . Also extended play. I was 14.
