First 45 (or track) and LP (or CD) you bought

[Whateverist]

Bought my first LP (vinyl 'CD' for you whippersnappers) when I was in 8th or 9th grade at a Hecht's* department store in Maryland, just outside DC. My choice doesn't flatter me now, an Aussie folk band called "The Seekers". It was probably a best-of album. Their biggest hit was probably Georgie Girl which should be all you need to know. (No? What about "Come the day" or "Red Rubber Ball"? Never mind.) But wait, as long as I'm wallowing in it let me also confess my favorite cut from the album. It was the less well known "All Over the World", a tune so cloyingly sweet that dentists won't let you listen to it. If gender bending was a thing back then .. who knows?
