1st Album you Ever Owned?


I hope this topic stirs up some great memories and further sharing of good music.
What was the first vinyl "LP" album you ever owned?

Mine was "Maynard '64" (Maynard Furgeson).  I was 10 and learning to play trumpet, and my dad bought this album for me.  He worked a lot, so it was really cool that he took the time to chase it down.

I cherished it and still have it, but it didn't take long to learn there was much better jazz out there.  In all fairness, I grew up listening to my parents playing Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong and Tommy Dorsey - a pretty decent start given the general lack of recognition in the white middle class as to how African culture had molded the music they loved.

Please share your first LP experience!

I was a kid in 1970s South Africa. Records were extremely expensive. The first disc I purchased was a used copy of the Slade album called Sladest: mind blown...

The Monkees - The Monkees
Still have it.  Listened to it repeatedly on my parents’ console; my mom would cue it up as that console wasn’t for us kids to use.  It’s a rather thick slab of vinyl that is somehow in great condition.  Looking forward to Run Out Groove’s 180g Vinyl 2LP expanded edition.

Thanks keegiam for initiating this great thread.
"Cherish" by the Association. It was my high school girlfriend's fave.
Alas, she didn't think the same way about me! LOL!!!!!
   The Beatles Something New album.I loved it,man does that bring back memories.Over 50 years ago!Think I paid like a $1.89 for it on sale.I remember 45's were 69 cents.And the junk bin of 45's 39 cents.So an LP for 2 bucks a good deal.
