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.

Joni James, When I Fall in Love. Mono at that. Still going strong, fifty years later.

I believe my first LP was also the Stones "High Tide and Green Grass"
I had several 45's before. The first of those being the Beatles "I want to Hold Your Hand"

Back in the mid to late 70s there was a chain of record stores in the Philadelphia area called "The Listening Booth". They not only sold records and 8 tracks but dope related paraphernalia as well. I clearly remember buying Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps and a pack of Zig Zags. Those were the days....

Wow you guys make me feel old, well at least older. The first vinyl I bought for myself was a Henry Mancini album "More Music from Peter Gunn". Hey Shelly Mann on drums and probably other notables. I played it on my folks Magnavox Stereo in the rec room. It was the late 50s. Jump ahead 10 years and I bought my first stereo (Fisher AR Dual). I still have the album and it still sounds good.
