What was your first music that you paid for?

I can't remember life without music. My parents let me operate the console before I was 5 yrs old. The earliest thing I played over and over and over again is viewable on old 16mm movie film. The Venture's album with the surfer on the big wave on the silverish-blueish album cover. I kept playing that first song over and over.

Eric Clapton Slow Hand. The tape is worn out but I still have it for sentimental reasons.

The 45 of Don McLean's American Pie - bought at none other than Woolworths.

Either Cream Disraeli Gears or Jeff. Airplane Surrealistic Pillow.

"Collection" by the "Young Rascals" I must have worn out that LP. Think I paid around $3.00 for it. I'm still "Grooovin" to the music! After that came the Stone's "Aftermath" then Chicago Transit Authority. IMO, still all classics and the best time period for pop and rock music of the last century. Boy, I'm geting old!
