Woman finds first album she ever bought 41-years later in charity shop - still with her name on

A woman browsing in a charity shop found her copy of the first ever album she bought 41 years ago - still with her name on.

LuLu Baylee, 54, was looking through the store's old vinyl selection when she discovered an LP she had when she was 13.

The Boney M album still had her handwritten name on the on the cover she scrawled there 41 years before.

LuLu, who lives on Jersey in the Channel Islands, bought the album from Lady Jayne records for just £3.23 when she was 13 years old.

She said: "I hadn't seen the album for 41 years as we moved overseas in the September 1980.

"We gave away all our furniture along with all our records, but moved back to Jersey eight years ago."

Posting on the 'Jersey Ask! Advise! Advertise!' Facebook page, LuLu wrote: "I can’t believe what I found in Durrell’s charity shop today – literally can’t believe it!

"It's the first album that I EVER bought!

"Not a copy of the album but the actual one (because I did what you’re not supposed to and wrote my name very proudly on the front of it, and the date and time!!)

"I remember it well, from Lady Jayne records and cost £3.23.

"I was 13 at time, and we have been reunited some 41 years later. I don’t even own a record player but just had to buy it back!"

She added: "I did get to see Boney M a few summers ago, and they were great. Thank you Durrell!"

Since the remarkable find, LuLu said: "I need to go back to the charity shop to buy a record player! Lol!"
