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.

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.

I can't remember the name of the record store, but it was Jimi Hendrix/Rainbow Bridge. I think I was 9 y.o.

Cheap Thrills - Big Brother and the Holding Company. That one record that I bought for $1.99 at the K-Mart in Brighton, MA in 1969 age 12 started this whole long journey into the netherworld of guitars, amps, hifi equipment, vinyl, CDs, etc, etc, and untold $$$ and one's-that-got-away later.
