Your First Vinyl Album.


What was your first vinyl purchase? I'm not talking about kiddie records but the first serious album you bought as a teenager. For me it was The Rolling Stones...Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass). This album was key in my making the transition from bubble gum to rock n' roll. It's still a good album.

Al,

Smetana's Moldau on CBS Masterworks may have been the second album I bought, if that helps.
Mama's and the Papa's "If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears" (I had an adolescent's crush for Michelle Phillips) and Herman's Hermits "On Tour" (their second album).

I think this is right. Bought with my "allowance" savings. I still have both Lps.
I went from The Partridge Family Album...to Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends".

Talk about a paradigm shift.
Alan Parsons Project Pyramid in 1978 from The House of Guitars in Rochester NY. Everything prior to that was Kiss, Aerosmith, and Bay City Rollers 45's. s-a-tur-day...hey. I'm so ashamed of myself.
