Billy - Billy Fury circa 1963 - bought when I was 10 - I still have it and it was played to death. Not sure why my parents allowed me to play it 10 times over in any one sitting escapes me! That's all I had - so had to make do.
The only comment my mother made was when she looked at the cover and remarked on his funny tooth. So no musical connection with her there.
I also used to go around record shops and listen to different versions of classical recordings. I remember being so frustrated regarding Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto until I came across a 99p version by Szeryng - and loved it and still have it too. With the help of ebay I have duplicated the same lps which have suffered less abuse, so I have a better listening experience of childhood days.
Parents are strange people. I have always loved the Beatles music, but my father said he could not stand them, When asked why he replied .. "Because they have long hair". Well I suppose that is one way of judging music"!
