While taking a breather from politics, I was just wondering how many of you remember the first LP you ever owned? (Not necessarily bought) Bonus points for your first 45 / 7" single. Be honest, no poser answers like The Velvet Underground with Nico. I'll confess that my first LP was "The Partridge Family Album" and my first single was "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies. ( Don't count children's albums )
The first album I bought was Stay Hungry by Twisted Sister. I think the first single was Word Up by Cameo. My musical taste went downhill from there.
Jimmy Buffet, Changes in Lattitude. 45, something BeeGees.
First 45 : "Breaking up is hard to do" by Neil Sedaka; and first LP "This is Brenda" by Brenda Lee! I couldn't afford them but I requested them as birthday presents!
My first single was Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog. My first album was a collection of recording by Northern English colliery brass bands... I still like that sort of thing!
We have a very good local brass band in Sale. One of the advantages of living oop North.
My first album was James Taylor's Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. The double=sleeve cover was really beautiful.
My first 45 was Joe Cocker's version of You've Got A Friend. That caused an uproar in the house.
I had and loved James Taylor's Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon
Rubber Soul. My brother in law gave it to me for mowing his yard.
