I was very much into buying 45's back in the mid 60's...the dime/drug store had several albums, and on sale was the Beatles' Hey Jude. I bought it after much consideration, only to receive my mother's admonition for wasting $3.89.
Your First Vinyl Album.
What was your first vinyl purchase? I'm not talking about kiddie records but the first serious album you bought as a teenager. For me it was The Rolling Stones...Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass). This album was key in my making the transition from bubble gum to rock n' roll. It's still a good album.
