To my shame: Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft - The Carpenters.
- Friar Will
Blondie - One Way or Another. Bought at the drug store in my grandma's town. I bought Doobie Brothers - Minute by Minute at the same time. I bought them solely on the way the label looked (MCA and WB).
- Eric - Final Countdown
Sure. My first 45s were my mom and aunt's old 45s from the '50s. Including a Sun 45 of "Great Balls of Fire". First 45 I received as a gift was "Fly, Robin, Fly". First 45rpm I bought with my own $ was "Walking on Thin Ice" by Yoko Ono (I bought plenty of LPs before that...but I was 15 before I bought a 45.)

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall Pt.2 (can't remember the B-side), The Beatles - Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever (mono), Tubby The Tuba... quite a few more, not including the fsckloads of "PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY" and/or "NOT FOR SALE" label-owned 45s i inherited from my maternal grandfather who was a radio engineer for WNBC and later WMCA in NY from the 30s til the 70s.
- Big Joe Silenced
Wow, those WNBC era 45s must be quite the collection.
- Eric - Final Countdown
"One Of My Turns" was the B-side to that PF single. yeah, there's some amazing stuff in his collection. also alot of his personal 78s in those boxes as well. too bad i no longer have a turntable that plays 78s!
- Big Joe Silenced
The first music I ever bought were two 45s. I Yam What I Yam by Robin Williams with He Needs Me by Shelly Duvall on the B side. Lady by Kenny Rogers. I bought them at Payless Drug Store. I must have been 6 years old.
- Rodfather
We have a whole bunch of them in the living room. I couldn't tell you what's on any of them. When I was kid? Damn...I know there was an EWF one. The hundreds of others? Never got to touch them.

"But Not Tonight" by Depeche Mode. Among others.

Some Hiphop 45s, Big Daddy Kane - Smooth Operator. Tone Loc - Wild Thing, Young MC - Bust a Move, Three Times Dope - Funky Dividends (which got warped sitting in a hot car).
- Eric - Final Countdown
True Blue by Madonna - limited edition blue vinyl. I still have it & all my 45s from the 70s & 80s.
- Corinne L
The strangest one I own may be a European Hiphop group BVSMP - I Need You where the lyrics are split between the A side and B side.
- Eric - Final Countdown
Half the 45s I bought were Doctor Who related, apparently.
- bentley
Redbone "Come & Get Your Love"
- Gabrielle
So many 7 inches! It's the punk rock way. Or used to be anyhow. My first one? I think it was the Billy Idol Sweet Sixteen single?
- t-ra is ugly crying
i still occasionally get 45s (both singles and EPs) in the post from current bands via friends. it's not a dead format!

I hoard them like Pokemon.

My first 45 was American Pie. I had good taste even back then.
- Glen Campbell
All By Myself--Eric Carmen.

I still do own a few. The first 45 I bought on my own (not pilfered from my mom's collection) was Sweet Home Alabama (I was going through a phase, I've since cured myself of it).
- COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
So many to choose from: Cut The Cake by AWB comes to mind.
- MoTO Boychick Devil
When i was a lil kid I used the 45 to listen to the Fairy Tales using this http://www.ildeposito.it/img...

Back in the mid 80s, we had a jukebox filled with 45s. Luckily for us, the local Sound Warehouse had 45s, so finding party music was never a problem.
- Steven Perez
I still have about 15 of my 45s. First one that came to mind is Minnie Riperton - Here We Go.
- Starmama
I think my first 45 was Rocky Mountain High. My brother had the 45 for 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover - it was in constant play.
- Elizabeth Brown
Honky Tonk Women by the Rolling Stones.
- Son of Groucho
"Funkytown" by Lipps Inc. I still have all my 45's along with all of my parents' 45's. Love that stuff. <3

"Incense and Peppermints" by the Strawberry Alarm Clock was the first record I ever bought. I would have been 12. I can't remember what was on the flip side.
- Ken Morley
Yes, Steele, that was the one we listened to incessantly. I also remember just where it developed a skip. Good times.
- Mama Lawson
The first one I ever bought was Paul McCartney's Mull of Kintyre in '77 or so.. My brother and I loved the song. But we hated the B-Side, Girl's School.

I'll name 3: Julian Lennon- Too Late For Goodbyes/Let Me Be, Tears for Fears- Shout/??, Power Station- Get It On/Go to Zero. And I'm pretty sure all three of them are either in our garage or my parent's basement!
