Your First Vinyl Album.

What was your first vinyl purchase? I'm not talking about kiddie records but the first serious album you bought as a teenager. For me it was The Rolling Stones...Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass). This album was key in my making the transition from bubble gum to rock n' roll. It's still a good album.

It was "Meet the Beatles" (in Mono) and I was 9 years old!
I played that album on the family's webcor stereo until the grooves were worn out.

It's interesting that after 52 posts in this thread, and probably upwards of 100 performers mentioned, by my count there are exactly 0 female groups and 2 female soloists mentioned (Connie Francis, Joni James), and exactly 1 mixed group that had prominent female members (Fleetwood Mac). And there are 0 classical recordings.

I don't know what all of that signifies, if anything, but the statistics certainly seem striking.

Al,

Smetana's Moldau on CBS Masterworks may have been the second album I bought, if that helps.

Mama's and the Papa's "If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears" (I had an adolescent's crush for Michelle Phillips) and Herman's Hermits "On Tour" (their second album).

I think this is right. Bought with my "allowance" savings. I still have both Lps.
