The first record I ever bought myself: ‘Meet the Beatles’

I remember playing a 45rpm of Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford.

Over and over...

Over and over.... 

My first album was actually three all at once. Got them as a 12th birthday present (August, 1970):

1. Grateful Dead, Workingman's Dead

2. Soundtrack from Woodstock

3. Jimi Hendrix, Band of Gypsies
