What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?


My record collection is my passion.  I started buying albums when I was in 9th grade.  I was hooked.  I don;t think I missed a weekend visit to the local record shop in the mall from the time I was 16 until I graduated college.  I still own those albums that I took so much care to choose..Just wondering if anyone else holds such memories dear and are sentimentally holding on to their old albums.  I still play them and enjoy them every bit as much as I did back in the day.
And my first album was Elton John...Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.  Sometimes I look at the covers and think, I have listened to these so much, I am jaded.  But I put them on and enjoy them as much as I ever did.

My second LP purchase soon after was the Dr. No soundtrack - soon after seeing that movie! How about that Ursula Andress - hot!
Age 12 - bought the Goldfinger soundtrack after seeing the movie in 1964. Played and enjoyed it on a GE console stereo. What a hot cover! Now long gone!
