Hi everyone,
Just wondering what was the first album you ever bought?
Mine was Ride The Lightning, and i still thank For Whom The Bell Tolls for making me realise what a bass was, i haven't looked back!
What was yours?  |

| | | | When I was very young, my dad bought a couple albums for my brother and me and they were Herman's Hermits and The Beach Boys Surfin' U.S.A.
I started buying 45 records with my own money as a teenager and the first full length album I bought myself was Rare Earth and shortly after that I bought Three Dog Night Live At The Forum and The Guess Who American Woman. Well, I currently have over 8,000 records, tapes, and CDs. |

Went home an popped it on Mom's HiFi and was blown away, have not been the same since. "Sgt. Pepper's" still blows my mind bought it on vinyl 4 times, 8-track, cassette and 2 versions on CD.
The next week I wanted Marvin Gaye's "Super Hits", still one of my favorite covers, which the "Disc Shop" didn't carry because it was a "race record". So I rode to the "wrong" part of town to buy it, Mom was so unhappy I played int on her hifi that it led to me buying my own stereo, Capehart with cassette, 8track & 4 speakers, and my dad sprung for a set of Koss Pro4AA headphones. Was many years later until I understood but did not agree with the controversy.
Later that summer i bought my 1st real guitar a Gibson LGO with a DeArmond pickup, worked my bahhooty* off that summer but what a year it was, the start of my recording collection, my own stereo and a real guitar.
*Had 2 paper routes early morning and afternoon (threw 3 papers Dallas Morning News, Wall Street Journal and NY Times), mowed yards, misc. yard work, cleaned pools all on top of family dairy farm chores that didn't pay but were necessary. Earned about $1000 which was a lot for an 8 year old kid.

| "Story of Star Wars". Yep, I got that one too, shortly thereafter. I still know all the dialogue to the movie AND which lines were included on the record & which weren't.
I was four when the film came out, cut me some slack....

| | | Got these 3 LPs for my 12th birthday (1970)-
Jackson Five- ABC (Loved their Pop hits; this was their current album)
Santana- Abraxas (Loved "Evil Ways" from the debut; this was their current album)
Led Zeppelin- III (Had never heard of them. The name sounded cool & the cover artwork was cool. Loved "The Immigrant Song"...looking back, I would have been wiser to pick their 1st or 2nd album).
Still have these LPs (& the cds)...still like these bands to this day.
The 1st LP bought with my own coin was either
Sly & The Family Stone- Greatest Hits
The Doors- 13 (also a Greatest Hits)
I guess when it's your own grasscuttin' money on the line...you want to be sure you'll like all the tunes.
