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.

"Meet The Beatles" I was 6 years old and crazy about the Beatles.Then I heard The Stones cover of "Little Red Rooster" and all of a sudden "I Want To Hold Your Hand" seemed so lame!!!!!!!!

Mom bought it for me in 3rd grade "Best of Herman's Hermits".

FIRST I ACTUALLY BOUGHT?

Might have been "Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock - released IIRC a couple of years later, but I can't swear to that.

Purchases were at Sam Goody's in The Garden State Mall @ $2.79 per - the standard for LPs for many years.

I also remember buying the single "In The Year 2525" by Zager and Evans right around the same time.

Slightly OT, but how often do you get to mention buying "In the Year 2525"?
