My aunts bought me Beatles and Monkees albums but the one i bought that i remember when i was 8 or 9 was that Snoopy and the Royal Guardsman LP. i got a whole buch of records foe a penny thanks to the Capitol Record Club by Led Zepplin, Santana, Neil Young, Three Dog Night, The Doors, etc.
Seems like a lot of us, it was the Beatles... Same here, first Album was
But my first vinyl was Peter, Paul and Mary - "Puff the Magic Dragon". LOL. Looking back, I remember trying to figure out the details of "going away" as it relates to the death reference.
I'm not entirely sure that was my Mother's intent when she gave it to a 6-7 year old me.

First Album I Remember
The first albums I remember were in my parents' jazz and musical play collection. Definitely the earliest big influence on my tastes from that collection was:
The Dave Brubeck Quartet At Carnegie Hall.
Also remember early exposure to:
Oscar Peterson
Ahmad Jamal
From the Musical play collection I remember albums such as:
The Sound of Music
Oliver
Hair
The first record I purchased was much later, when in high school I purchased:
All 'n All, by Earth, Wind and Fire
Then came many Yes albums.....

My sister had bought tickets to Chris de Burgh's concert in Montreal in the early 80's. My first concert ( outdoors) , I was somewhere around 14. She bought both Spanish Train and Crusader album that we would listen "100" time a day ,weeks before the show to learn all the songs by heart ......
Funny thing, I just got back into this hobby and starting from scratch. Today , I found Spanish Train used for 2.99$......It was always part of my cd collection but to own it back again in vinyl kinda brings back memories :thmbsp:
Because of some family arguments , my sister and I haven't spoken much lately...I think I'll give her a call tomorrow and invite her to listen to both albums like back in the days......

For me it would've been More Specials by The Specials in 81. Ska/2 Tone music was really big in the UK back then.
Me and my mates used to wear harrington jackets with loads of mod button badges on. It was an awesome period for music in the UK that'll never be forgotten. Even my aunts 2 sons were into SKA big time (they were 5 years older than me at the time),but tragically both died a few years later in separate car crashes.

For me, it's a tie between Hank Williams's "Honky Tonkin' and "The Fabulous Johnny Cash".

My parents didn't have a lot of records and none of those really stick out, though it would likely have been classical. Possibly the first I do remember is Harry Hibbs and the album with Black Velvet Band on it.
After that it would have some of my older brother's records. Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Lovin' Spoonful, Jefferson Airplane's Crown Of Creation and one which is still a favourite: Cream Live Vol II.
Oh, and the Woodstock Album.

Oh man...Herb Alpert and the TJB! I'm STILL listening to this one having found a replacement copy somewhere in Indiana. For me it was my brother's. The Association Greatest Hits. We were so poor that the only albums we would purchase had "Greatest Hits" somewhere in the title. Figuring more bang for the buck. Why is it that some of the cuts on the record you never heard of?
