Went to visit a friend one Saturday when I was eight and wound up spending the afternoon in his older brother’s room listening to rock and roll 45s. Begged my folks for a copy of Dion’s The Wanderer. My first LP was The Beach Boys Surfin’ Safari, which I received as a gift. The first LP I bought myself was Bob Dylan The Time They are a’Changin. I was 10 years old and shoveled snow for the dough.
What was your first record?
The first record I ever owned: ‘At the Hop’ by Danny and the Juniors ( just listened to it, and it made me get up and dance!)
The first record I ever bought myself: ‘Meet the Beatles’
