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!

Skeleton's from the Closet when I was 9 back in 78. I got it with a beat up turntable at a garage sale for 5 bucks total. Played it every night. I had some wonderful dreams about driving trains with cocaine.

You may be on to something, I listened many nights to great rock, Jazz and watched MTM and Bob Newhart with my best friend.......his name was Dave.  
My first album was a mono, Blues Project, Projections. It was a few bucks cheaper in those days, mid 60s. My first stereo album was the Doors first offering. 
jyadlon, Al Kooper would be proud.  "Projections" wasn't my 1st album but it was my first Blues Project album.  I soon added "Planned Obsolescence" and the two live albums.  Part of my haphazard, unguided investigation into why I was so drawn to what I was hearing - if that makes any sense.
