In fifth grade I received a stereo for Christmas. What a mistake my parents made, I never stopped the hobby. My firat album was Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass with :What Now My Love" my first 45 was "Guitarzan by Ray Stevens and the first 8-track was Frijid Pink.

My first was Queen "A Night at the Opera." I bought it at K-Mart and it lasted till my mother read the lyrics. They were not appropriate for our house! I bought it again several years later, but then it was just another LP in the collection. She never noticed it, even though I bought it on a trip our family tok to Germany.
First 45, (that I can remember) "Hey Joe" by the Leaves.
First LP "Rave Up" by the Yardbirds.

First significant stereo, Dynaco integrated, Acoustic Research Table with a nickel glued onto the headshell and big round Empire speakers.
The first I can remember buying is the Stones 45 with "Ruby Tuesday" on one side and " Let's Spend the Night Together" on the other. I believe it was 1965. It's almost 40 years later and still love the music!
50's on a 45, "Sink the Bismark"...YEP!, we hit the decks a runnin..we spun them guns around. About-age7.

My first purchase was The Rolling Stones' "Between the Buttons" when I was 14 yrs old. I took it to a party shortly after I bought it and it didn't make it past the first song("Let's Spend the Night Together") before the parents stormed into the room and took it off. I still have the record.
