What was your first record?


The first record I ever owned: ‘At the Hop’ by Danny and the Juniors ( just listened to it, and it made me get up and dance!)


The first record I ever bought myself: ‘Meet the Beatles’

My first 45 was either "Dizzy" by Tommy Roe or one of The Beatles early singles.

My first few albums were all greatest hits (due to limited budget/allowance) by the likes of: The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Doors and the Guess Who.

My first "proper" album was either "Crosby, Stills & Nash" or "In The Court of the Crimson King."

 

I think the first record I bought was Grand Funk Railroad’s " Mark, Don and Mel".

Songs of Leonard Cohen. In 1968 I found the album in a record store. I “hid” in among the classical albums til I could return the next day with money. I think it was $3.99. At the time I had a turntable but had not finished building my Heathkit receiver or my coax speakers, cabinets covered with walnut contact paper.
