Your First Vinyl Album.


What was your first vinyl purchase? I'm not talking about kiddie records but the first serious album you bought as a teenager. For me it was The Rolling Stones...Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass). This album was key in my making the transition from bubble gum to rock n' roll. It's still a good album.

First 45 Thunder Road
First Album Martin Denny's Exotica, heard Quiet Village and was hooked
The Beatles' Abbey Road, I think... if not, it was something like Foreigner 4.
I'm 50. I believe I was around 6. Here's what I purchased at E.J. Korvettes, a (now defunct) discount "department" store with one of the great record sections I've ever seen:

Stones-High Tide, etc.
Dave Clark Five-Greatest Hits
Herman's Hermits-Hold On
The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour if memory serves. It's definitely a blur but I do recall joining the Columbis House Record Club and getting The Doors - The Doors and The Soft Parade, Chicago Transit Authority, Blood Sweat & Tears II, Big Brother And The Holding Company - Cheap Thrills, Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited, and a few more that would take some serious thought. Man I was in heaven when those albums showed up. Must've been 68 or 69.
