First album you bought/first album given to you...

[milod]

The first I was given was an early 33 rpm album that was a recording from performances on a Chrysler Corp. sponsored television show. We still, by the way, did not have a proper record player with a gem needle - just an old one with a steel needle that really wore out my sister's 45s.

 

The first I bought was probably an Ian and Sylvia album maybe in '64. I didn't get into buying recorded music much through high school, and even in college mostly bought sheet music.

First one bought was Tommy and being a double album, it was pretty expensive if I recall.

First gift was earlier and it was Elvis Presley. Have no idea what the album was though.

[Daryl M]

First Album given to me as a gift-"Frampton Comes Alive"

First one I bought-"The Stranger" Billy Joel

[FirstMeasure]

First Given to me was by my Parents. A Stack of Doors, Zeppelin, Buffalo Springfield, Leon Russell, Rolling Stones, BTO, Oldies But Goodies (that's what the compilation was called) and the Beatles. All when I was about 5.

 

I never learned the Nursery Rhymes I was supposed to. I have no Idea what happens to Little Miss Muffet, and the itsy bitsy spider holds no memories for me. In kindergarden I was wondering why we couldn't sing a Cat Stevens tune, like I do at home.

 

The first one I ever bought for myself was a Various Artist album with Shake Rattle and Roll on it.
