First album I purchased was Black Sabbath Paranoid. Was visiting my cousin in Charlotte, he’d introduced me to the band with a mix tape of tracks that he had. We went to Eastland Mall and it had all three songs that had hooked me. I didn’t have access to a used shop until I got my license at 17, so I was paying full freight for records until I joined Columbia House. I remember buying The Moody Blues Days of Future Passed and it having the wrong record in the sleeve! Since they didn’t have another copy I think I exchanged it for BOC’s Extra Terrestrial Live.

This episode really brought back some memories for me. Years before I began buying LPs, I remember my younger sister buying More Of The Monkees LP. I had just begun buying 45 singles then, this being late 1967. The first LPs I remember buying were the first Bee Gees Greatest Hits LP and the Best of Tommy James & The Shondells, in late 1969. Over the next couple of years I went on to buy the octagonal Through The Past Darkly Rolling Stones Greatest Hits LP and the Who’s Next LP, as I became more enamored with hard rock.

Not much money in my family, so my first records were Christmas and birthday gifts. The first one I bought with my own money happened because of an ad in the National Lampoon for a record that could be had for the low price of $1! It was Zapped, the sampler of artists on Frank Zappa's Bizarre/Straight labels. All the strange stuff (and some fairly normal) really turned my head around. I guess that record arrived in the mail around the end of the summer in 1970, and I loved it so much that I took it on a Thanksgiving road trip to play it for my cousin. Unfortunately, it rode next to the heater vent of the family Volkswagen so it was a warped mess by the time we arrived. The following summer I started tracking down used copies of other Zappa albums.

Great stuff Tom. I didn't have a dime when I was a kid, so I couldn't purchase any music until I got my first job at McDonald's. I started off with 8 tracks first and distinctly remember among my first purchases were Styx The Grand Illusion, Queen Jazz, Steely Dan Aja, and Boston. These were more or less new releases at that time. First vinyl purchase was Led Zeppelin IV. By 1979, I discovered different kinds of music and picked up Drums and Wires by XTC, and Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division, to name a couple. Cheers.

The Lovin' Spoonful's "Daydream" LP is excellent! So is "Kink Kronikles", both of which I bought new. I've never been a big fan of The Monkees, but I liked "Headquarters". I received The Animals' US debut LP for my 12th birthday, and then bought the debut LP from Herman's Hermits, immediately followed by The Stones' "12X5", which changed everything for me, in regards to my musical taste. "12X5" was, for me, like a college education and I must have played it a million times before I was 13. Interesting vid, CF. We all have to start somewhere and, like you, my first LP acquisitions were hand-me-downs from older siblings. Among them were Bobby Vee's Greatest Hits (a good LP, if you like that sort of thing, and I do), Roy Orbison's Greatest Hits, The Brothers Four, Joan Baez debut, Peter, Paul and Mary In Concert, and The Ventures "Walk, Don't Run" LP. By the way, both "Words" and "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day" were recorded before The Monkees by The Leaves (debut LP) and The Astronauts (from Boulder, Colorado). Some links: "Words", The Leaves (debut LP, summer 1966) kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6umhJqvaa-hY7Msi=IDaJJrsvkxwLbwPC "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day", The Astronauts (1965) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaO6ZGN_g9yWl68si=Sx5Q8Rd5He8iwook 👍😄

My first album buy was Revolver (mono/USA version) for $2.86 in November 1966. I was in the fifth grade. Bought other Beatle albums in ’67 and ’68. First non-Beatle LP purchase was probably a mail-order blooper album. A summer job as a teenager enabled me to catch up on rock albums going back to 1965. Got more interested in albums of classical and jazz music in college (during the disco era).

I don't have that kind of memory to be able to list the first ten albums that I bought with my own coin. I have to admit that I was a very spoiled brat; most of the 45s and albums that ended up in my mitts were bought for me. (The first album that I owned was purchased for me by my late sister; Elvis Presley's 'Pot Luck' in 1962!) The first album, I think, that I bought with my own money was 'Beatles VI' back in 1965. I believe it was about $1.69 or so at some department store in Northeast Philadelphia.

I was very fortunate to have an Aunt who worked for Columbia Records distribution centre in Pitman New Jersey. Aunt Elaine used to give me a stack of albums each Christmas of a variety of genres and artists, from Country to Hard Rock. She gave me albums by Johnny Winter-Ten Years After-Stevie Wonder-Aretha Franklin-Chicago-Blood Sweat & Tears-Jimi Hendrix Experience-The Mama's & Papa's-Conway Twitty-Johnny Cash-Tammy Wynette etc., so I had a great album collection given to me as gifts. When I was able to purchase my own albums at the local record store in my town (it was called The Disc Den), I bought Surrealistic Pillow and Takes Off by Jefferson Airplane, then I bought Meaty,Beaty, Big & Bouncy by The Who, James Gang Yer Album and Rides Again, Steve Miller Band 5, Days Of Future Past by The Moody Blues and Threshold Of A Dream, The Beatles (White Album) and Revolver.

We lived in very rural western PA, which in some ways had it's advantages. One was that there were small, rotating album bins full of cut-out's for $0.50 a piece at two of the three grocery stores in town. One store was Riverside. That was where I bought "Get on Up, and Get Away" by The Esquires. Other albums I bought that day were, "Their Second Album" by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs" and "The Time Has Come" by The Chambers Brothers. Another store in town was A&P, where I bought the first album by Blues Image. I also bought there a ten-track compilation album on Columbia's CSP label called "The Best of the Gold Vol. 7." I bought it particularly for "Good Thing" by Paul Revere and The Raiders; but also for "Turn, Turn, Turn" by The Byrds and "Don't You Care" by The Buckinghams. A little later, a department store opened up a little farther away from us called Fisher's Big Wheel. They had a beautiful selection of cut-outs! That was where I bought "Focus 3" by Focus. I had already known them from hearing "Hocus Pocus" on the radio, and I knew "Sylvia" by hearing it on a various artists collection. I remember really loving the album's cover! That helped push me toward buying it, I was so glad that I did! I love that album - still one of my all-time favorites!! Another album I bought there was the first album by a New York band called Dust, a three-piece band with a teenage Marc Bell on drums. Later, he changed his handle to Markie Ramone. I also bought Eric Carmen's "Boats Against the Current" because it contained the single: "She Did It" which I liked quite a bit. I also made my first Beatles purchase at that store, albeit full price. That was "Abbey Road," on the orange Capitol label. In town we had a 5&10 store called G.C. Murphy's. I bought a 2-L.P. compilation album there on Sire called "The History of British Rock - Vol. 2." And those were my first ten.

When I seriously began collecting albums in the early 1970s I think the first LP I bought was "Paul Simon". I think the second was "Mocking Bird", a Barclay James Harvest "budget" compilation. I these days artists / bands brought out "budget" LPs. EG. "Genesis Live" and "Earthbound" by King Crimson.

Two of the first dozen or so albums I got early high school days were Bo Hansson's "Lord of the Rings" and "Zero Time" by Tonto's Expanding Head Band. I mention these because although I had by then Hendrix, Zappa, Beefheart, early Dead, Sabbath, Tull, the Velvet U, and similar others in my collection it was those two albums that freaked my parents out the most. "What is that weird music you listen to?" they'd say. Great fun. We were all acid heads in those days of course.

I also remember purchasing "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" when I was twelve (though the album had been available for 4 years by then). First albums purchased that drastically altered my musical perspective -- Nick Drake's "Bryter Layter," John Cale's "Paris 1919", Love's "Forever Changes,"and Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks."

The first rockNroll album I received was A Hard Days's Night, when it was new. I believe the first album I bought was Best of the Beach Boys, Vol II. I mostly wanted California Girls, Help Me Rhonda, and Surfin' Safari. I hadn't heard the songs on at least half of the album before I bought it. I remember bringing my $3 to the appliance store (in the 60s I don't recall any record stores near me, most records were bought at department stores and appliance stores). I didn't have enough money for the tax, but the young lady at the cash register felt sorry for me and paid the tax herself. A Licorice Pizza opened up near me on Victory Blvd in the early 70s, but they didn't have used records. Btw, Lou Reed's first music job was as a staff songwriter for Pickwick Records. I enjoyed your list.

A couple of my early albums were Ted Nugent self entitled and Robin Trower Live. I remember an early high priced acquisition being "Runt The Ballad of Todd Rundgren" an original Bearsville copy. This was before the Rhino reissues and the internet. I paid I think $60 for it in the late 70's.

In 1971 I was 14 yrs old and in 7th grade. I remember buying the first four Credence Clearwater Revival albuma and James Taylor's Sweet Baby James. I lived in the SF bay area at the time. Me and my father would shop at Rather Ripped Records and Tower Records in Berkeley. I was into rock music and my dad listened to traditional country. We both loved going to music stores. Norman

I found singles a better value. I could afford three of them every other week at 69 cents each (in the 1960's). First LP with my own money in 1969: The Best of Tommy James & The Shondells. Next up were Cellophane Symphony, Crimson & Clover, The Beatles Hey Jude, 3 Dog Night Suitable For Framing, Tommy James solo album, Rick Nelson In Concert, CCR's Willy & The Poor Boys and Cosmos Factory, Best of The Guess Who, & The 1969 Warner Reprise Songbook 'loss leader', which really opened the doors for me and caused a record collection to start. I almost bought a 99 cent cut out of Morning Dew on Roulette, however, the naked hippies on the cover would not make it past mom, so I put it back grudgingly.

Those Warner Bros compilations from the late 60’s/early 70’s are fantastic. I have quite a few.
