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’

The Ventures "Surfing" played on my Knight Kit stereo that I built. It was 1963...!

My Dad had a TV business and sold Hi-Fi systems in the 1950s.  I bought--at cost--a "portable" Zenith stereo record player, compact unit with two 5.25" speakers facing forward.  My first record, although I do not remember the name of the album, was a Tommy Dorsey/Fank Sinatra album, and my second was a recording by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, with George Szell conducting Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in C Minor.  I was hooked!

I bought two when I got my first turntable:

Styx - Paradise Theater

Alan Parsons - I Robot
