1st Album you Ever Owned?


I hope this topic stirs up some great memories and further sharing of good music.
What was the first vinyl "LP" album you ever owned?

Mine was "Maynard '64" (Maynard Furgeson).  I was 10 and learning to play trumpet, and my dad bought this album for me.  He worked a lot, so it was really cool that he took the time to chase it down.

I cherished it and still have it, but it didn't take long to learn there was much better jazz out there.  In all fairness, I grew up listening to my parents playing Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong and Tommy Dorsey - a pretty decent start given the general lack of recognition in the white middle class as to how African culture had molded the music they loved.

Please share your first LP experience!

I mentioned the first album I ever "owned" - jazz trumpet - was a gift from my dad in 1964.

But it wasn't until early '69 that I actually had enough disposable income to buy one for myself: "Blood, Sweat & Tears" 2nd album (untitled).

After that I pretty much made up for lost time.
Not sure on album but I clearly remember my first 45 - I was 4 years old and picked out The Beatles "Yellow Submarine" with "Eleanor Rigby" on the B side.  I listened to it a million times on my plastic lidded TT that sat on a wire rack.
Can't remember exactly. Was either Hans Christian Andersen or Grimms Fairy Tales. Would listen for hours to witches being destroyed, etc. (circa 1956).
