What was your first record?


The first record I ever owned: ‘At the Hop’ by Danny and the Juniors ( just listened to it, and it made me get up and dance!)


The first record I ever bought myself: ‘Meet the Beatles’

while I had purchased many 45s, as a young child, I don’t really count them. My first two LPs were bought on the same day when I was about 13 years old. I purchased Santana Abraxas and the Beatles hard days night at a little record store in my great aunts community. I was staying with her for the weekend.

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass… “Whipped Cream & Other Delights”. Then everything Beatles. Hey, I was just a 12 year old kid!

Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom Prison.

My parents had a 'record player' console and my mother used to play her records on it, and I know I heard those. But that's the first LP I bought with $5 given to me by my grandmother.

My first album, I never bought a single, was a mono (it was cheaper) Blues Project “Projections”. This album was the prototype of my next 55 years of musical taste
