What's the first album you ever bought?

The Best of Tommy James and the Shondells on cassette, given to me with my first cassette player. I still remember most of the songs.

I don't remember the first music purchase I made, but the first album I bought was about 5 years ago...Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.

 

Still my favorite album to listen to on vinyl.

First cassette = Def Leapord "Hysteria"

First CD = Weezer (self titled from '94) & Offspring "Smash"

First Audiophile Vinyl-Tarkus ELP

 

I'm breaking in my Tim deParavicini 7DJ8s (DPS EI) Sunfire Tube pre. The BobFather has high praise for these tubes.

I actually bought my first record just a few weeks ago:-)

 

[Schurkey 139]

Mid-'70's sometime. Got a "stereo" all-in-one system from GE for Christmas. Turntable (changer), "amplifier" and two speakers, all in a single big plastic housing, Folded-up for portability. I just found it again in my mother's closet (I'm cleaning out her house.)

 

I bought three albums from some mail-order outfit. Danged if I remember what titles they were. Perhaps two from Jim Croce, and one from Procol Harum???

 

When I get back to her place again, I'll likely find those albums; if so I'll post again to confirm.

Croce was a song writing GENIUS... He could say more in a 1.5 minute song, than a lot of song writers can say in an entire album. And on top of that, no matter who you are, you can relate to his songs...

I remember it well.

Deep Purple Made in japan

He'd have been a Wilbury

First album: Herman's Hermits I'm Into Something Good

First CD: Fleetwood Mac

[PDR 1,194]

I'm pretty sure my first album was given to me about 1970 by mt grandpa. It was a Tex Ritter....Cant remember the 

title, but I can remember the cover, and my favourite song was "Greedy old dog with a bone" I played the shit out

of that record in my 10th year.

 

The first album I bought was a K-tel hits something or other. It had the Raspberries "Go all the way"...I loved the guitar riff.

I didnt really get serious with music until I was 13 and learned how to play guitar.
