What was your first record?

Songs of Leonard Cohen. In 1968 I found the album in a record store. I “hid” in among the classical albums til I could return the next day with money. I think it was $3.99. At the time I had a turntable but had not finished building my Heathkit receiver or my coax speakers, cabinets covered with walnut contact paper. 
 

T-Rex, Electric Warrior. First week it was available. Think I paid something like $1.29 or $1.99 at Kresge’s 5&10 in St. Pete, FL. Got it for a party. Still have it.

The first record I owned was Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night 45

🤔🙄😬🤦‍♂️...there may have been a couple of 45's...I remember a Spencer Davis Group one, but it hasn't made the journey to now....

First LP.....jazz guitar with Gabor Szabo (Spellbinder, '66)....later, The Pentangles'

double album Sweet Child '68....

Had burnt out on AM top 10 stuff, got into jazz and... I guess you'd call it 'progressive folk' in the early HS era (error? *L*).

Couldn't take the Beatles seriously until the White album.... Hell, I'd even picked up the Blue Cheer lp prior to.....

....just another tale of tail and wasted youth sin-drum.....🙄

The Sixties were great...what I remember of it...😏

...then I begin to space back to some of the 'other' that accompanied all that.......and find this appropo for a segway....

In 1963, my cousin Judy gave me her little RCA Victor 45 player. The first record I bought was "I Will Follow Him," by Little Peggy March. That Christmas, my parents bought me my first stereo, a suitcase model from Motorola, plus two Beach Boys albums (Surfin' USA and Surfer Girl), two by Lesley Gore, and one by Skeeter Davis.

One reason I got a stereo for Christmas was because my mother got so sick of my playing "Be My Baby" on repeat during assassination weekend.

My first album I chose for myself was Meet the Beatles in January, 1964.

I still like playing songs on repeat. iTunes and YouTube are good for that.
