Your First Vinyl Album.

"That'll Be The Day"

Buddy Holly's third (and last) studio album on Coral Records.

Still sounds terrific.

It was "Meet the Beatles" (in Mono) and I was 9 years old!
I played that album on the family's webcor stereo until the grooves were worn out.

The Rolling Stones - Exiles on Main Street

It's interesting that after 52 posts in this thread, and probably upwards of 100 performers mentioned, by my count there are exactly 0 female groups and 2 female soloists mentioned (Connie Francis, Joni James), and exactly 1 mixed group that had prominent female members (Fleetwood Mac). And there are 0 classical recordings.

I don't know what all of that signifies, if anything, but the statistics certainly seem striking.

Al,

Smetana's Moldau on CBS Masterworks may have been the second album I bought, if that helps.
