Your first album purchase.

[MEK-Dangerous]

 Do you remember the first album you ever bought? It could be an 8-Track or cassette too. I just want to hear what you bought. 

Mine was Desolation Boulevard by Sweet. It was because of this song.....

Yes, I still have the album and my vintage direct drive Technics turn table from 1978.

I haven't heard that song in a long time.  WOW, such a cool song.  Chills.

I don't want to be that guy that says they don't make music like they used to, but dang, they don't make music like they used to.

  The 70s = the best music, the best cars and cheap beer!

Three Dog Night. I still have that record I think. I wish I still had all my 8 tracks, I had about 100 at one time. Most likely half of them played...

[GY3R/T]

  Still have my first album. Purchased at K-Mart around 72-73.
   I wish my Cuda would've survived as well as this did.

[Chryco Psycho]

I do think this was my first but it was close , not sure what I bought before this but obviously it did not have the same impact !!
Of course it was on Gold vinyl too

[Spikedog08]

My first was Rush Archives  . . 3 record set that had their first album, caress of steel and fly by night.   Still have it . . Looks pretty rough though, played the shit out of it.

   My first album was Iron Butterfly/ In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.  Remember playing it on a portable GE phonograph.  Did not sound very good at all but I had tunes.  Must of been about 12 years old or so.       https://youtu.be/ZCkHanF4v1w
