What was your first music that you paid for?

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.

Ahh, Geez. My parents bought me a little Realistic compact system when I was about 13, but my Mom didn't want me listening to any of that hippy stuff . . . it was 1970. I wanted Jefferson Airplane, but my first allowable album was Tony Orlando and Dawn LP--"Knock Three Times on the Ceiling if you want me . . ." Needless to say, haven't listened to it in a long time.

Ugh. I'll bet you guys won't be able to get that song out of your heads the rest of the day!

Better be nice, or I'll remind you of "Muskrat Love" :-))

My first LP was Yes Fragile, also bought at Woolworths.... They must have been pretty big in the record business back then, or we all just bought them where our mothers took us!

I think the stereo was a Panasonic all in one job.with seperate speakers.

The first album my parents ever took from me was George Carlin "On the Road". Funny, mom liked his humor, and knew we had several other Carlin LP's, but was worried because it had one of the first ever parental warnings about explicit lyrics! We bought the album again the next week...she never saw it, and eventually, when we were older gave it back to us, I can't remember if we told her we had it all along or not......
