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!

Nice thread.  Pretty sure it was Cheap Trick Live at Budokan, probably 1979.  Had a cheap receiver/turntable combo, Phillips maybe?  Turned it up as loud as possible.  Must have sounded like crap! I'm sure it drove my parents crazy but I honestly don't remember a lot of screaming to turn it down.  lol  Thanks mom!

A quick side story about egg crates.  Our first band jammed in my buddies basement.  We were lucky enough to have a live poultry store right down the block.  They gave us as many crates as we wanted.  The roughly 1' x 1' paper type.  We spent a couple weeks covering almost the entire basement.  It didn't keep the sound from heading upstairs but IIRC it definitely did tame the cymbal crashes and mellow things out just a bit.  Or maybe it was the weed....  

Dang, wish I could say my first LP was some classic title by a classic artist...but being truthful, I think my first LP purchase was "Snowbird" by Anne Murray in 1970.  I loved the tune and also had myself a nice little crush on Anne. 
Can't really remember--so long ago--but it was probably Duane Eddy, Especially for You, 1959.

Loved the sweater he was wearing as well as the Gretsch, which I owned one just like it that I bought for $200 in 1968 and sold for $200 in 1971.  Today, it is worth about $5K.  Oh, well.  I still have the album, anyway.

Cheers!
