1st Album you Ever Owned?


I hope this topic stirs up some great memories and further sharing of good music.
What was the first vinyl "LP" album you ever owned?

Mine was "Maynard '64" (Maynard Furgeson).  I was 10 and learning to play trumpet, and my dad bought this album for me.  He worked a lot, so it was really cool that he took the time to chase it down.

I cherished it and still have it, but it didn't take long to learn there was much better jazz out there.  In all fairness, I grew up listening to my parents playing Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong and Tommy Dorsey - a pretty decent start given the general lack of recognition in the white middle class as to how African culture had molded the music they loved.

Please share your first LP experience!

My parents bought my sister and I Meet the Beatles. I still have it.

Not specifically for me, but the other I remember very well was Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. I absolutely loved that album as a child, could listen to it over and over, and is one I still wish I had today. Have no idea who narrated it, or who the orchestra/conductor was.
