Hi-NRG Fans! Confession Time...........

[marmite7]

put your Passion, Record Shack & Unidisc memories to one side and 'fess up...


what was the first record(s) you ever bought?

Mine was/were:

Boney M - Rivers Of Babylon / Brown Girl In The Ring
The Specials - Gangsters
Tubeway Army - Are Friends Electric


I'm not gonna count Brotherhood Of Man - Save All Your Kisses For Me (cos I was only 10 and had no taste!)

Cos if I had to include that one, then I'd have to admit to buying The Wombles Album too

I was a child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Wombles eh ??.. Was that the "non stop megamix" then ?? LOL
Actually, I`m probably not much better.. !! I remember getting some birthday money as a kid and buying this album based on cartoon characters like dastardly & mutley, Penelope pitstop, Rupert Bear, Bugs Bunny etc.. Think I still have it somewhere..
I remember buying the SPACE album after hearing their brilliant "MAGIC FLY".
I think the first 7" single I bought with my pocket money was taht single by a group called RACEY (Think it was called "Some girls will..) lol.

LOL...Thats the song !
The first "hi-nrg" record I bought was probably DIVINE (You think your a man). I remember bringing it home and driving my dad bonkers by playing it non stop (very loudly). My mum loved it, she always played it when she did the housework !.

Eek - fpmsl

YouTube - Top of the pops December 1978 (4)

I'm crying here!!!!

My first Hi-nrg 12" was either Marsha Raven or Jessica Williams (1983)

Mind you I did buy I Feel Love 12" in 1982 and Sylvester's Do You Wanna Funk! So perhaps they were the first eh?

[marmite7]

OMG!

Love this track!!!

YouTube - OMD - Joan of Arc (Maid of Orleans)=


turn it up!

[Andy Farley]

I bought 2 at the same time, Abba Dancing Queen and ahem Brotherhood Of Man Figaro

First hi-nrg would probably have been Company B Fascinated although bought this before I'd even been to a club!

[Magnifique]

Mouth & MacNeal - "Hello-A"

(I was a child )

First ever record was 'Do The Funky Chicken' by Rufus Thomas, and I still have it.

Didn't start buying records regularly until '71 though, when I got the Glam Rock bug!

That mutated into my ever present love of Heavy Metal, then I got into Hi- Nrg in 1984.

Metal and NRG are still my favourite types of music.

Metal & Hi-nrg? Why does an image of black leather chaps instantly spring to mind

Made for each other and a natural progression, once the wardrobe was sorted

Thinking about it, wasn't there a recent cover of Rainbow's - Since You've Been Gone all beefed-up in a Housey / NRG stylee

Haven't heard it, but would love to!

The worst heavy metal cover I heard was Hazell Dean's 'Livin' on a prayer' it just didn't work!

The Finnish band Nightwish did a very good cover of Ankie Bagger's 'Where were you last night', didn't change it much either!

[SandraDee]

OMG, I bought that Wombles LP in '75! I also bought the Muppets LP. I still enjoy 'Wombling White Tie & Tales' & 'Ma Na Ma Na'. Any credibility I had left on this site has well & truly gone now!

Remember you're a womble, remember you're a womble, remember member member member what a womble womble womble you are.....

Come to think about it what were they singing about members for. Did more happen on Wimbledon Common that they weren't telling us about..
