Roxy music. Flesh and blood Album.

My first album purchase was Van Halen's 1984. I remember clearly that I thought the record was skipping when the intro to Hot for Teacher started.

I was a sophomore in high school, 1971, when a record shop opened in my hometown. Albums were $3.33 apiece (for 33 1/3). I bought 3. James Taylor / Mudslide Slim and the Blue Horizon, Jethro Tull / Aqualung and Jeff Beck / Truth. Money well spent.

Puff the magic dragon. My mom finally the it away while I was at school because she said she couldn't listen to it one more time, lol!

I have never bought a 45 or a single as we call them here.

First album I bought was Trilogy by ELP.

I'm pretty sure it was The Moody Blues - Long Distance Voyager. It came out a year before Michael Jackson's Thriller did, but I remember my friend was really excited about Thriller and I was excited about Long Distance Voyager... I went to her house and we made each other listen to each other's whole album. I didn't like hers, she didn't like mine.

1969
Chicago Transit Authority - Chicago

45? Oh man. Ok, I remember buying a bunch of 45s from a guy when I was a sophomore in HS. One that comes to mind is Green Eyed Lady, by Sugarloaf. I had others, but that one sticks out.

Can't remember the first 45, but my first album was 'Tommy' by The Who. Was just thinking: Started listening to them when 'My Generation' was out in '65. I got 'Tommy' in 1969...and I saw The Who last August in South Lake Tahoe...so they've been causing my tinnitus for over 50yrs!

Very first 45 I owned was Bird Dog by the Everly Brothers. First LP I owned was Then Play On by the original Fleetwood Mac

The Raiders (without Paul Revere): Indian Reservation. The next day I bought their album "Collage".

I was never into the new-fangled stuff. Pretty much 78s growing up.

Elton John's "Crocodile Rock" was my first 45. First album was Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors." Still have both (now all I need is a record player!).

1st 45 was "She Loves You", Beatles , 8th grade, with paper delivery job money.

Queen II... still listen to it

Judas Priest - Rocka Rolla and Kiss - Kiss....I inherited a bunch of 45's when I was a tot...Elvis....

I think the 45s were the smaller ones, just one song on each side? I bought two at the same time. One was "Town without pity," by Gene Pitney. The other one was "drums of go-go," by Sandy Nelson. My aunt made me take "drums of go-go" off the record player before it finished. She said it was just noise.

My first album purhase was on cassette: Van Halen- "Diver Down"

I bought it as soon is I could and was disappointed.

My first album was also my last, Michael Jackon's Thriller. The first single I got was Ditty by Paperboy on cassette.

Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White by the Standels. I know there were probably earlier ones but that one I can see in a memory. Also, When a Man Loves a Woman by Percy Sledge.

Appetite for Destruction, Guns and Roses. Cassette tape.

one of the first 45/s I bought

My first album was Blondie, Parallel Lines. I played the crap out of that. I also used to have a stack of 45s as tall as I was.

Ooh and Kinks Waterloo Sunset

First album record I bought was "The Young Rascals". First time I took it off the house, slid off the sleeve and broke... I just couldn't play the first song on each side. "The Young Rascals" were my first live concert too... And was first band I saw live twice, second time they were just "The Rascals". First 45, may had been "Honky Tonk Woman" The Rolling Stones. I think... whatever 45 that has for a B side "You can't always get what you want".
