Your First Vinyl Album.

What was your first vinyl purchase? I'm not talking about kiddie records but the first serious album you bought as a teenager. For me it was The Rolling Stones...Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass). This album was key in my making the transition from bubble gum to rock n' roll. It's still a good album.

Back in the mid to late 70s there was a chain of record stores in the Philadelphia area called "The Listening Booth". They not only sold records and 8 tracks but dope related paraphernalia as well. I clearly remember buying Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps and a pack of Zig Zags. Those were the days....

Wow you guys make me feel old, well at least older. The first vinyl I bought for myself was a Henry Mancini album "More Music from Peter Gunn". Hey Shelly Mann on drums and probably other notables. I played it on my folks Magnavox Stereo in the rec room. It was the late 50s. Jump ahead 10 years and I bought my first stereo (Fisher AR Dual). I still have the album and it still sounds good.

Mine was the double live 'Around The World With Three Dog Night' that my grandmother couldn't resist buying me on a shopping outing when I was 11 . Still remains my favorite of the group and the sleeve is perhaps one of the most nicely packaged in my collection. Never get tired of this one. The live performances of these tracks totally blow away the studio versions - great stuff.

"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.
