When I was little I had a bunch hand-me-down 45's. Dont even remember the titles or what happened to them

Sometime when I was 7 or 8 my brother gave me 3 LP's: Sabbath - Masters of Reality, Alice Cooper - Killer, & Zepplin II.

Later I was in store and saw Lynyrd Skynyrd Second Helping, And talked Mom into letting me buy it for my brother's birthday but then when I gave it to him he already had it, so that was the first one I bought.

 

[Humbled]

Oh my, I remember the McCartney v Tork debates over the dinner table...

Good times.

Well, sadly I've never worked for Sir Paul.

I did run a house desk for Peter Tork and Shoe Seude Blues a number of times.

Mr. Tork's a nice enough guy, but, um... ...musically falls a wee tad short by comparison.

 

[Humbled]

2003 era and +/-. Dang I'm getting old too...

 

[Rickybass4001]

Steppenwolf Monster

 

[Mark_70]

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor. One of those small 45rpm singles.
Must've been around 1983 or so ?! From that Rocky movie

My parents - who only listened to Bach, Beethoven, Schubert etc were in shock

Regards
Mark

"Abacab" from Genesis. Great Album

 

[Kmonk]

I remember buying three albums at the same time. Back in the early 70s there were compilation albums released by K-Tel. I bought one of them along with The Beatles White Album and Black Sabbath Paranoid. The Beatles and Sabbath albums had been out for a couple of years by then but I remember buying them at the same time when I was about 12 years old.

 

[tfer]

Bay City Rollers.

Rock and Roll Love Letter. I was 7, and saved up to buy the album.

(Ducking now!)

 

[slap2much]

Songs in the Key of Life...double album with the bonus 45 (Saturn/Ebony Eyes).

 

[Bass at 64]

My first 45 RPM single was the Beatles' "Paperback Writer" in May 1966. My first LP was "The Cyrkle" summer 1966.

 

[DaveKirkpatrick]

This one... still have it!

 

[39-Bassist]

I had two albums bought at the same time:
Beach Boys - All summer long
Boston (1st album)

 

[Mike Sorr]

I still remember it. It was a K-tel compilation called The Rock Album. I was 9 years old. I saw it advertised on TV and asked my parents to buy it for me. I listened to it non-stop for a year.View attachment 882702

Holy crap! I had this. I wore the grooves off if it.

 

[Mike Sorr]

I think mine was Yessongs.

 

[logicman69]

First one purchased on my own... Anthrax - State of Euphoria.

 

[gfaulkner]

First purchase was on 45, Tears of A Clown by Smoky Robinson and the first album was either Paranoid by Black Sabbath or Destroyer by Kiss.

 

[Flooflox]

My first was a K-tel 20 Power Hits By 20 Power Artists. I was disappointed with much of it. The next I bought was B.T.O.'s first album. That one got played a LOT.

 

[Bassquest]

The Beatles (Capitol Records) 45. Side A: Can't Buy Me Love, Side B: You Can't Do That. Still have it!

 

[Davbassdude]

When I was 8 years old (in 1968), I bought my older brother the "Midnight Confessions" single with "Sookie, Sookie" on the B-side by The Grass Roots because that's what he wanted for Christmas.
