The next singles I bought were all 45 rpm: "Bye, Bye Love," by the Everly Brothers, and "Blueberry Hill (I found my thrill on. .) by Fats Domino, then "That'll Be the Day" and "Peggy Sue" by Buddy Holly and the Crickets.
Wasn't thinking of singles when I answered the question in the previous thread. Your post made me go look thru my singles and I ended up on a walk down memory lane. I had, and
still have:

I know I also had Santo & Johnny's
Sleepwalk cuz I drove my parents nuts playing it over and over and over.
Regrettably, that ones seems to have disappeared.
Any of those ring a bell with you, Alan?
My parents gave me records when I was really little, but they were classically oriented, "Tubby the Tuba", a narrated story about all the instruments in the orchestra, and "Peter and the Wolf", with the great Prokofiev score. There was a lot of classical music in our home, so I tuned into that as well.
Yipes! I had
Tubby The Tuba as well. I can still see the cover sleeve. Talk about a blast from the past, WOW!
