In fifth grade I received a stereo for Christmas. What a mistake my parents made, I never stopped the hobby. My firat album was Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass with :What Now My Love" my first 45 was "Guitarzan by Ray Stevens and the first 8-track was Frijid Pink.

Shut Down by the Beach Boys, I think. Back in those days I principally bought 45s. Can't recall whether my first album was a Beach Boys one or Beatles '65.
Beatles - Yellow Submarine: Still have it, although you can practically see through it. My second record was Santana's third LP - with the man with the outstretched hand. Can see through that one too.
First album I ever purchased was The Doors "Soft Parade" when I was in about fifth grade. I wasn't too popular with the Archies set. Of course, I wasn't too popular with my mother, either, when she heard Morrison cry out, "you cannot petition the Lord in prayer!"
