Your first album purchase.

[captcolour]

Three Dog Night "Captured Live at the Forum".  Still have it.

Zeppelin IV was the only vinyl I had to buy twice because I wore the first one out.

[dvs cycles]

When I got my first STEREO in 1969 I bought 3 albums at K-Mart.
Tijuana Brass Whipped Cream and other Delightes, Sgt. Peppers...., and Glen Campbell Wichita Lineman.

So since my mom wouldn't let me have Iron maiden " piece of mind"
She allowed me to get these two instead.

and of course

All this was 1983.  I was 7. 
The heart of Rock and Roll and Thriller!

[1 Wild R/T]

1970   Black Sabbath - Paranoid    FWIW the Air Raid Sirens in War Pigs are a dead on match for the base alert siren being used at Incirlik AFB Adana Turkey back in 1970..... Dad would be sleeping soundly on the couch & he would hear that siren & be headed for the door.... Then he'd realize it wasn't the base siren just the record player......

I think mine was American Woman by The Guess Who.

[dodj]

First album was Boston - Don't look back. Still have it. And three full milk crates of vinyl.

[blown motor]

Alice Cooper - School's Out. The record had a pair of panties on it.

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.     

Same as mine! That was the first I bought with my own money, first one I owned was Elvis - A Portrait in Music, a gift from my uncle.

K-Tell "I Believe In Music" .... Was being advertised heavily in 1972 so I would have been 13.... Has my all time favorite tune "Brandy" by Looking Glass

Wade,

   Did you buy this album because of the 2 Donny Osmond songs??   

Just giving you some crap. That's a cool story about your GF buying the same album.

[Brads70]

I think my first actual "album" was Van Halen diver down I had various cassettes before then though.

[Brads70]

Alice Cooper - School's Out. The record had a pair of panties on it.

I learned something new also! I wonder how many of those were proudly hung from the rear view mirror? 

[Chryco Psycho]

Funny how perceptions go ....... looking back Iron Maiden is a much more solid influence than MJ  Maiden is relaively clean , solid band , no scandles really on the other hand MJ
