What's your very first vinyl record ?

[riksors]

Mine was:

America - History: America's Greatest Hits

Had to ask my brother to buy and split it with me. I hurriedly saved up to pay his half so I can have the album rightfully to myself.

My grandmother let me pick out two LPs:

George Szell, Cleveland Orchestra
Richard Wagner



Olivia Newton-John
Greatest Hits Volume 2

Woodstock 3 disc set & Led Zeppelin 3 - purchased together and don't recall which was played first. Still have both.

 

[1970's Fan]

I used to love playing along to some of the tunes on this.

Still have mine....Platters ~ Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and Fats Domino ~ My Girl Josephine.

 

[Dan ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ]

And who can forget this bit of nonsense from 1958....it still makes me smile...The Playmates ~ Beep Beep.

 

[Eric n Kc]

Hey
Black Oak Arkansas - Raunch-n-Roll.

 

[Johnno_Oz]

New Order - Blue Monday

It was an Aussie edition without the die cutout that was featured on the original UK Factory Records edition.

First two records I bought were 45s:
- CCR, Down On The Corner/Fortunate Son
-Beatles, Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields
I acquired numerous LPs before but I can't remember exactly what. I know I had a few Warner Brothers compilation LPs.

 

[DaveVoorhis]

If I remember correctly, it was Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. I still have it, along with Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick, both kept for sentimental reasons.

 

[parman]

Pretty sure it was a single by The Dave Clark 5

 

[boza]

 

[Goansipife]

Pye Chartbusters Vol. 4, in 1972

 

[jlh3rd]

Snoopy vs the Red Baron...royal guardsmen...

 

[Boto]

Steely Dan "Can't Buy a Thrill". Got it when I was in High School and still have it!

 

[Condorsat]

Don't remember ... probably something like the Archies Greatest Hits ... Saturday morning tunes ruled.

I do recall watching a TV interview w/ Brain Hyland & ended up buying the album below. Wore my original copy out & bought another one from Jerry's record store in Pittsburgh Pa.
Definitely one of my first LP purchases that were not crumb cruncher music ... this was a new release as I recall at the time.

For some reason ... unlike my peers ... I was always into albums & not single 45's. As a kid, money was tight ... so I didn't buy many & played the ones I did have all the time.

 

[FONSguy]

They're coming to take me away ha-ha - Napoleon XIV (45)
Back Sabbath - Black Sabbath (LP)
