What was the first music you ever bought? When? Where? How old were you?
I remember the first album I ever bought ... it was 1974 (I was 9), I walked into a music store, plopped down $9 in loose change for Deep Purple "Machine Head"...
...KILLER ALBUM....Ian Gillan's screams on "Space Truckin'" are just INCREDIBLE...(anyone need a throat losenge?  )
The first single I ever bought was in 1970 (yes, I was 5), it was a 45 (remember those?) Paul Simon's "Love's me Like a Rock"....really cool tune.... |

$4.98 The Beatles - Let It Be (album)
I still have it.
About a month later, I bought CCR's "Cosmos Factory".
The journey had begun.

I recall LPs being $4 at that time. OK, it was at the Navy Exchange...the stores on the outside may have been around $5 + tax (one dollar was a big difference at that time).
EDIT-I see you're 'Down Under'...$9 for LPs, huh?
Anyway, it's nice that you were 9-years old & checking out Machine Head...

But my parents bought it for me. Man I wore that record out.
*Edit: Oh wait I remember getting a Disco compilation for Xmas before that, I forget the name but I know it had A Taste OF Honey's Boogie Oogie Oogie which I'd play over and over again. Check this out: So Sexaaay! Damn Janice Marie Johnson was so fine! I miss the 70's.
