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!

Grew up in Frankfurt Germany, born 1968.
I may fail to remember what I did for my birthday or New Year’s the previous year, so this fun thread says something about the significance of music in my and everyone else’s life posting here.

First album was Kiss “Dynasty”
First piece of recorded music came with my first playback device, a little cassette player and a tape that had on one side Abba “Super Trooper” and on the other the soundtrack to “Zorba, the Greek”.
First concert my dad took me to was Santana at the Old Opera in Frankfurt.
