I was 6...

My first rock/pop record was a live-single with Elvis Presley with CC Rider on the A-side (can't remember the B-side). It was from his famous Hawaii-concerts in the mid-seventies. I remember the price - 7.50 SEK (about 0.75 Euro). My first LP was Deep Purple "24 Carat". If my memory serves me... .

Not sure but I think mine was Eagles: Hotel California

Kiss' Love Gun in 1977 (hangs head in shame). In my defense, I was 8 years old at the time.

Meet The Beatles

OK, it was bought for me. I was six.

Yes it was The Beatles single 'All My Loving/I Saw Her Standing There' 1963...first album The Rolling Stones 'Out Of Our Heads' 1965...

This is told 6650 albums later...

2 1 2 0

First single : Salvatore Adamo : "Vous permettez Monsieur". I was 8.
First Album : "The Graduate" (Soundtrack)

.."the Shadows" first album...great guitars on the sleeve...

Dave Edmunds: 'I Hear You Knockin'', at the time of its release.

VOODOO LOUNGE. Someone on the school bus to and from my junior high school would play his boom box every day tuned to the same radio station, and the DJ often played Love Is Strong during the after-school ride. And after hearing it for maybe the fourth time I thought, "I got to get his record." My friends wondered why I had bought old people's music.

I think the first record I ever owned was an album of songs having to do with the civil war. I played it to death. Especially the one about how John Brown's body was "a-moldering" in his grave. There was another one about how the soldiers had nothing to eat except boiled peanuts, which they called "goober peas". Just the other day I suddenly burst into this song. "Goodness, how delicious! Eating goober peas!", I sang. "What the hell is that?", my wife asked. "That was on my civil war album" I said. Actually, I think the Songs Of The Civil War album was one of three records I was given along with my first record player. I think the other two were recordings of children's stories like Peter And The Wolf or William Tell. The first album I ever bought myself was Gary Puckett And The Union Gap. The first single I bought was probably either The Beatles Get Back/Don't Let Me Down or The Cowsills "Hair".

I remember the first record i asked my mom to buy: The Beatles(White Album).

I had mostly listened to what my older brother already had. That included The Beatles 62-66? and 67-70.

Then I had the joy of delving deeper into the Beatles with The White Album and discovered my brother's RS Hot Rocks around that time too.

Wow!

single : the Beatles - Hello Goodbye/I Am The Walrus

album : The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

Songs, Stories & Pictures of the Beatles - VJ Records in 1964
I think about 1/2 the songs were on Meet the Beatles.


I still wonder what the deal was with that. Was this before they were under contract with Capitol in the U.S.?

Don't forget tapes. Anyone growing up in the 1980s can appreciate their importance. Here's what happened to me:


First cassette: Rolling Stones - Rewind
First vinyl album: AC/DC - Back In Black
First CD: Rolling Stones - Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out

on the same day:

AEROSMITH [LIVE BOOTLEG lp]

KISS [ALIVE II lp]

bought them with "silver dollars"

i had to be 8-9ish
