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 mother was disturbed about the things John Lennon said about the Beatles being bigger than God or something to that effect (obviously misunderstood) so she wouldn’t let me buy a Beatles album. I must have been about 10 years old at the time. My workaround was to buy Alvin & the Chipmunks cover version. I thought I was pretty clever.
“Alvin & The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles”.  Don’t judge. Bought it at Sears.
