Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought?

1st record was one of those two lp Johnny Cash Sun Records hits compilations that were always being advertised on TV. Year was ~1967.

1st store bought album a recall buying was a Quadraphonic version of Deep Purple Machine Head from the local Lafayette Radio store.

I bought The Fabulous Ventures in 1964 when I was 12 years old.

1954 Let Me Go Lover by Joan Weber
It was a 78.I looked at it wrong one day and it cracked

"More Greatest Hits," Connie Francis, 1962. Had a crush on her when I was a kid. Although I no longer care for most of the music she recorded, I still consider that when in her prime she had one of the best combinations of voice, talent, looks, and versatility (recording numerous genres in approximately 15 different languages), of any non-classical, non-opera female singer I have ever heard.

Glen Campbell's 'Galveston' in Woolworths in lower Manhattan. That was in 1969, when I was 11 going on 12. Was waiting with my mom for Sterling Optical to finish making my glasses.

Love the post yogiboy!

My first was Lawrence Welk does polka favorites. The year was 1946 and it was a 78 rpm recording. To this day it is on my top ten of all time. I play it every day and it still gets my toes a tappin!

OK. No laughing here. I'm dating myself, but here goes. First vinyl was a 45(counts as vinyl, right) in July or August 1965. Rolling Stones: I Can't Get No Satisfaction; B-side - The Under-Assistant West Coast Promotion Man. Bought that bad boy at Woolworths in Coatesville, PA at age XX(yeah...). Got it home, put it on the RCA table my folks had. Got me an hour in my room when my dad heard it!!!!

Still have that bad boy here in NC now. Haven't played it in over 30 years, but it's still in the original jacket and all. My TT now doesn't play 45's, so it's on hold. Great question Brinmeliss that give me a smile and brought back some memoires on a Sunday afternoon.

Thanks.....I Can't Get No, na na naaaaaa!!!

Sgt. Pepper's in the summer of '67, which actually my 4-year-older brother bought for himself when I was 7. Whenever he was listening to it I knew it to be a recording I wanted to get into - but, he wouldn't let his little-kid brother in on his listening sessions, so I had to sneak an infrequent listen when I could, whenever he wasn't around. I think by that winter, Magical Mystery Tour had come out and, after that became his prime focus, his iron grip on Sgt Pepper's relaxed a bit. It was the first rock album I ever fell stone in love with.
