It was 1958. I turned 6 in May, and what did my Auntie Ivy give me? A round black thing with a hole in the middle. The cover read ‘Today you are 6 Happy Birthday’. It was my very first record. Pressed by W&G Records. It was the absolute beginning of a life-long love of all things vinyl. I have many, hundreds of records in my collection, some worth several hundred dollars each, but that birthday record to me is priceless … I still have it. I do play it on occasions, just to annoy the kids. Thanks Auntie Ivy!
