Watched a smidge of Rupert and I wanna know who the blue critter is!

@FrankCannon @awnaves

@see_the_sus That's Raggety! He's a grumpy wood-troll made of sticks 😁

@FrankCannon @awnaves

@see_the_sus And a side note. When I was 4 years old I used my birthday money to buy my first two 45's. One was the theme from Rupert The Bear. The other was The Six Teens by Sweet. A foretelling of the rest of my life, really 😝

@FrankCannon @awnaves

@BillyBones

Four years old?!? And birthday money at that age? Damn, I'd have liked to have your childhood!

I can't remember exactly how old I was when I bought my first album but it definitely wouldn't have been for several more years. I think it might have been Andy Gibb's Shadow Dancing, which I still have, and if so then it was '78 and I'd have been eight.

@FrankCannon @awnaves

@see_the_sus I know I had *some* birthday money, but honestly it was probably a case of me begging for those two records and my parents telling me I had enough money for them 😆

Plus, I think singles were 45p each in 1974, which will have been the equivalent of less than a dollar at that time 👍

As for yours, that's very impressive and it's fantastic that you've still got it! I'm fairly sure @ShazzaRazza had the same album. I know she was quite the Andy Gibb fan too 💜

I inherited a lot of records/vinyl and 8 track tapes from my sisters. The youngest of them is still 7 years older than me. The first record I bought for myself was Funkytown. LOL

@awnaves My daughter has all my old vinyl.Some real rarities in there too.I think my first 45 was Spirit In The Sky if I remember right,secondhand. @BillyBones @see_the_sus @ShazzaRazza

Well, now I know what I'll be humming for the rest of the day. Could be a LOT worse though. 😉 🎶

@ellesu Stuck in my head now too.😂

I was devastated when he died. I was watching morning news before heading to school, (I was a senior in high school), when the announcement was made. 😢

My first 45 was Johnny Rivers’ Seventh Son. I could never just sit and listen to it- I Had to DANCE! My bedroom was upstairs right over my parent’s bedroom. My father took me to the record store to find a new record I could “ listen” to quietly. I don’t even remember what it was.

@QueenOfEverything

Had to go look that up on YouTube because I've never heard of him. I can see why you had to dance. LOL

@BillyBones @FrankCannon @awnaves

@see_the_sus @BillyBones @FrankCannon @awnaves

JOHNNY RIVERS! Oh, baby, oh!

😎 I say that now…. But the young girl with her first 45rpm record just thought he was really coool and made her dance like a maniac.

I was also a dedicated Elvis girl because he was also really cooool and made my heart beat faster.

My friends went Beatle crazy- they’d put a record on, and just SCREAM and pull their hair! Boring, right. I left a sleepover bc I wouldn’t make out with Paul on the album cover

@QueenOfEverything 😂 Love that!!!

Sounds like my fraternal twin! 🤣

@FrankCannon @awnaves

@BillyBones A friend of my brother was still getting the Rupert annual well into adulthood.😂 @see_the_sus @awnaves

@FrankCannon

And here I thought you had the disposition of Rambo. 😁
