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!

CTA was one of my earliest.  Chicago and BS&T represented the best early marriage of brass and rock.  Unfortunately, they both soon went "pop" to chase big bucks.  Neither group ever matched their first 2 albums (yes, including Al Kooper's BS&T).

EJ Korvette: $2.94 was all I needed to see in the local paper.  Made at least 1 trip per week.
What a great topic and rabbit hole of memories that have followed!

Walked into Licorice Pizza, went straight to the Jimi Hendrix section, and there it was, Electric Ladyland from Europe (w/ the naked women on the front cover!). I grabbed that (so to speak) and Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow. Yes, like many of you, 50+ yrs later, still have both.

Pictures at an Exhibition...favorite symphony.

Thanks,
I saved up my news paper delivery money and allowance to get Peter Frampton comes alive but was disappointed to find they were out of stock. Not wanting to leave empty handed I looked around and picked up the Black Sabbath Black Sabbath album and loved it. I did later get my comes alive as well.
