Remember the first record you ever bought?

Mine was the 45rpm of Eli's Coming by Three Dog Night.

Bought it at the Walgreen's Drug Store at Lenox Square in Atlanta, Ga. Went home and played it about a dozen times on my big sister's record player. I think it was 1970, I was nine y.o.

Don't know why, but it took me another eight years to buy my first Stones record: Some Girls.

my first album -- The Genius of Soul by Ray Charles" Was maybe 9 years old.
My father was furious -- "wasting money on records you'll be bored with in a month."

Hard to remember back that far but in the late seventees when I was about ten I loved kiss so some of my first records were probably Destroyer and Rock And Roll Over.

Some of my earliest 45's were "Take The Long Way Home" (Supertramp) and "Born To Be Alive" lol. That song was a big hit back then.

Always good with relatives that can´t appreciate great music. My elder sister bought Goats Head Soup because she had heard Angie on the radio. She didn´t like the album at all so she gave it to me. I listened to it every day and it´s still my favourite Stones album.
