What was your first record?

Went to visit a friend one Saturday when I was eight and wound up spending the afternoon in his older brother’s room listening to rock and roll 45s. Begged my folks for a copy of Dion’s The Wanderer. My first LP was The Beach Boys Surfin’ Safari, which I received as a gift. The first LP I bought myself was Bob Dylan The Time They are a’Changin. I was 10 years old and shoveled snow for the dough.

A 45 of "Sky High" by Jigsaw.

I'm a 21st century digital man now.  I own absolutely no vinyl.

LP: Magical Mystery Tour

45: Incense and Peppermint

I sold flower and vegetable seeds door-to-door for my spending money in the spring and summer.

In the fall I raked leaves.

In the winter shoveled snow.

First record my mom bought me (age 7 or 8):  Kiss - Dressed to Kill

First record I bought myself (age 9):  Rush - Farewell to Kings

I think I was maybe 12 (1970). My parents got me a suitcase phonograph and two 45 rpm records. “No time” by the Guess Who and “Venus” by The Shocking Blue. I now have about 3000 records
