I loved the song 'Paint It Black', so the first rock album I ever got as a young'un was 'Aftermath' by the Rolling Stones, back in 1966 or so. When I saw that the last song, 'Going Home', was listed at over 10 minutes, I thought that that had to have been a misprint on the cover, because songs don't last that long! Found out that some did!
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!
