Your 1st Album YOU purchased?

1 Like

This was not my first LP, but I think it was the first one I bought with my own money. Regardless, it scarred me for life :exploding_head:. I still have it and I still listen to it occasionally.

One of Frank’s finest

Had a bunch of beatle albums - including ‘introducing the Beatles ‘ on VeeJay records - bothered my mom to buy them for me. But first thing I bought with my own money was two cassettes - Let it Be and Imagine as I got my first cool ampex cassette deck. :slight_smile:


It was 1959, high school. I hadj just gotten my first LP TT (had a little RCA 45 spinner before). I loved the cool jazz image of Peter Gunn.

I watched Peter Gunn every week, when it was the latest and greatest. Great show!

One of my favorite songs in the 60’s…show was good too.

Not close to being my first but I did wear it out

Oh man, this was my favorite song when I was about 5-6 years old. I remember getting some kind “secret agent” radio for Christmas that year. I still was a little young to buy any records. As I recall my other favorite song about that time was “Sittin On The Dock of the Bay” I guess my taste in music was eclectic even then.
The first LP I ever bought was Heart’s “Little Queen” . I was around 16 years old. What 16 year old guy didn’t love Ann and Nancy? I still love to hear the songs from that LP.220px-Heart_-_Little_Queen

Frickin Johnny rivers . awesome song.

Wasn’t barracuda on this album? I wanna say 75-76 - in the back seat of a 76 silver tbird with the red velour interior and Dino morelli hitting the steering wheel to that song.

I cannot recall or have the first CD that I bought which was two decades ago; More than a year ago I started collecting vinyl again, this was the first one I bought, a worthy 45 RPM collection from AP

Yup Baracuda was probably the biggest hit on that album but my favorite is still Kick It Out.

First full album - meet the Beatles. Followed by every 45 (single) to come out of England for the next few years.The “British Invasion” changed absolutely everything.Rolling Stones, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Herman’s Hermits, Dave Clark Five, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, The Beau Brummels, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and the list goes on. In the sixties, the Billboard Top 100 would be published weekly and we would know every artist and every song listed. Little different today.

I remember Dad letting me pick two albums. What a great day that was.

I didn’t have to buy albums early. My parents and older sister had many. I did buy Houses of the Holy on eight track in 1973, that I remember, for use in my car. I was sixteen.

The Acoustic Sounds remastered SACD of this album is excellent.

i still have this!!!

Another Meet the Beatles here. My son has it.

Who can forget 1972: The Jimmy Castor Bunch: w the hit : “The Troglodyte”
