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.

Cheap Thrills - Big Brother and the Holding Company. That one record that I bought for $1.99 at the K-Mart in Brighton, MA in 1969 age 12 started this whole long journey into the netherworld of guitars, amps, hifi equipment, vinyl, CDs, etc, etc, and untold $$$ and one's-that-got-away later.
First single 78, Let Me Go Lover by Joan Weber
First single 45, Down The Road by the Cadilacs
Either Johnny Winter, "Second Winter", or Savoy Brown, "A Step Further", cannot recall which was first, though they were the first two. $3.99 at the Woolworth IIRC. Of course, that's if you paid retail. My friend's sister worked the cash register and HEAVILY discounted all album purchases for me. (Bar code scanning was yet to be used.)
