Wow...I had to really think about that one. Actually, my first record was a 45. It was Zager & Evens "In the Year 2525", followed by Frigid Pinks "House of the Rising Sun". Pity...I had quite a large collection, 'till I got to college and used them all for frisbee's.
Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase?
Lisa (my better half) and I, were doing some vinyl listening this weekend. She posed an interesting question. What is the first record in your collection that you had ever purchased?
Since my music aquisitions started in about 1965, needless to say, my first music purchase was a record. For some of the younger folks on this site, their first music purchase may have been a CD.
For me it was Gary Lewis and the Playboys, "Everybody Loves A Clown". It took me about 2 hours to figure out since I have, I would guess, about 2500 albums. I still have the album and it still plays pretty well considering it's probably been tracked by about 20 different stylii. I had A Webcor Stereo that my parents had purchased me for my 6th birthday. It had a 7" BSR turntable and an AM/FM "radio" built in, with 2 "detachable" speakers.
What is the first piece of recorded music you ever purchased and do you still own it?
