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’

When I joined the Columbia Record Club in 1962 (the model upon which VMP bases it's subscription service), my choice for my free first LP was Johnny Horton's Greatest Hits (I loved "North To Alaska"). Titles that followed were the early Paul Revere & The Raiders albums.

My first record was Stevie Wonder’s Talking Book and even took it to school for show and tell say in my music class.

Me? Introducing the Beatles on VeeJay records.

Hi, Glenn. 

If you like Mary Robbins, may I suggest you check out the Carolyn Sills Combo.

Great musicianship, brilliant songwriting 

One of their albums, Return to El Paso, retells the story in 5 songs, each from the perspective of one of the protagonists.

They also try to keep a lot of the classic western swing & other artists alive by including a few select pieces in their live repertoire. 

I'm going to see them live this weekend. 

Enjoy!

Not counting the scores of 45 rpm Beatles records and their first couple LP's that my siblings and I bought together, I'd have to say:

1st: Jefferson Airplane: Crown of Creation

2nd: King Crimson: Court of the Crimson King
