  1. I remember the firstr ecord player I bought. It cost me £17/10/- and I paid for it weekly from money earned through my little job. I was 12/13 I think. I was so excited, but couldn’t play it as Dad didn’t have a 3amp fuse for the plug, so I had to wait!

  2. My husband and I bought a record player a few Christmases ago and we love it.

    Thank you for sharing your experience and a wonderful birthday present.

    Enjoy searching for more vinyl to add to your music collection.

  3. Great piece. My kids gave us a Crosley Cruiser portable record player for Christmas. My 8-year-old grandson was fascinated, too. We have lots of vinyl, not all equally good, but much that we love. The turntable of the stereo we inherited when our oldest son left for college had finally stopped working, so now we can listen again!

  4. The first album I ever listened to was a recording of An American in Paris; sadly, both the record and the player have since departed.

  5. Great read! We do miss a lot with all our push-button stuff, don’t we? My favorite part, though, was your son wanting to listen to the clock! It’s especially fantastic that it opened their curiosity and ability to recognize what they’ve got around them! And all from a record player!!
