sometime in the mid 60’s, I traded some baseball cards for a Herman’s Hermits & Monkees albums & played them on my National brand record player, radio, amp, speaker all in one combo. Panasonic was called National in Japan where it was made & my Dad bought it during a business trip w/ the Matsushita Company procuring parts for his telephone interconnect system he designed & built to compete w/ Ma Bell.
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’
