January 2017

A Trick of the Tail UK first
And Then There Were Three
Duke
Abacab all for $3
Some copy of Aqualung for $1 that was very damaged

I didn't have a turntable, got one later that year - this year I bought a new turntable and have spent at least $500 on LPs alone...

I assume this is referring to LP records, so pardon me for being born after the format was dead.

 

1966 - When I was 12 and made some lawn mowing money. Before that, albums were just for birthdays and Christmas. Singles were the normal purchases for kids.
The Who Happy Jack
The Pretty Things Get the Picture
The Hollies Bus Stop
The Yardbirds Over Under Sideways Down
The Beatles Yesterday and Today

 

1962/63
Cliff Richard - Wonderful to be young (Young One's sdtk rebranded for USA - Dad brought this one back from America)
Beatles - Please, Please Me (2nd day of release)
Shadows - Greatest Hits
Rolf Harris - Sun Arise (US Epic - again thanks Dad)
With the Beatles

Pressings 1, 3 and 4 are still on the shelves. At very least 8 replacement copies in mono and stereo for 2 and 5 in various formats (no cass or 8 track)

 

I think they were Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour, The Wall, Time (E.L.O) and Paradise Theatre (Styx) when I was six in 1981.

 

If I can remember that far.

Live Album-Grand Funk Railroad(still my favorite live album)
Sunshine-The Archies
Best Of-The Guess Who

Believe In Music (Ktel)

 

Shaun Cassidy - Born Late
Captain and Tennille - Song Of Joy

K-Tel's Kooky Tunes
The Beatles - Rock and Roll Music

 

Wow, good question. May have been these:

The Hits of Simon and Garfunkel - Performed by Kings Road
The Allman Brothers Band - Brothers and Sisters
The Doobie Brothers - Best of the Doobies
The Allman Brothers Band - The Road Goes on Forever
Jean Luc Ponty - A Taste For Passion

Still have them all except the first one.

 

damn, you guys have good memories...

it's bit foggy but from what i recall :

i've got my (own) 1st turntable sometime in '84. i headed straight to the mall and got...

Queen - Live Killers
Rod Stewart - Absolutely Live

i remember them being rather costly (for 12 year old ~) since both were double albums.

then the next trip to the mall, i got 2 hot new albums at the time, both of which i played to death that summer.

Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA
Prince - Purple Rain

i don't remember what the 5th was but so began my adventure ~

now, i actually remember my 1st 5 cassette purchases even though that's prior to vinyl (1982~83).

Rod Stewart - Tonight I'm Yours
Queen - Greatest Hits
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Hall & Oates - H2O

damn, i don't remember the 5th here either. guess i was a big Queen/Rod Stewart fan in my elementary school days.

i also remember my 1st 2 CD purchases when i finally got my CD player (around late '87)

Elton John - Live in Australia
Billy Joel - Koheupt

unlike cassette which i stopped buying completely once i got my turntable, i still bought vinyl even after the CD player....sole reason being because it was cheaper (~).
i spent most of the 90's trying to upgrade all my vinyl into CDs....spent gazillion on it and that is why i REFUSE to go back to vinyl even to this day

 

1. Led Zeppelin - II
2. Three Dog Night - Hard Labor
3. Grand Funk - Shinin On
4. Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
5. Santana - III

Beatles - Sgt Pepper
Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

 

Rolling Stones I

I only started collecting vinyl in 2012 at the age of 22. These were the first 5 I bought:

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
The Beatles - White Album
Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi
John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman - Self titled
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew

 

American Graffiti soundtrack

It won't be too hard to figure out around what year I started buying albums ...

 

Boston - Boston
Peter Frampton - Frampton
George Harrison - The Best of George Harrison
Rush - A Farewell to Kong’s
Kansas - Leftoverture

 

Hmmm, its been almost 50 years but lets see what I can remember (starting at age 10-1969);

Glen Campbell-Galveston
Carpenters-Close to You
Beatles-Yellow Submarine
Beatles-Magical Mystery Tour
Beatles-Abbey Road (I -think-)

 

Headquarters - The Monkees
Ramblin' Gamblin' Man - Bob Seger System (the very first album I bought)
2001: A Space Odyssey - 8 track tape
Johnny Winter And Live
Led Zeppelin II

 

I feel ya. My memory is whacked as well.

 

The days of saving up my allowance got me:

Foghat - Live
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Blue Oyster Cult - Agents Of Fortune
Bad Company - S/T
Bad Company - Straight Shooter

 

Over 50 years ago so all I can truly remember is Sgt Pepper in mono as I didn't have a stereo yet.

 

Started buying LPs in 1964. I turned 13 that May. It was a long time ago, so there's some guess work involved, but this list is probably pretty close to the reality:
1. The Dave Clark Five - Glad All Over
2. The Dave Clark Five - Return
3. The Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe
4. The Ventures - Walk Don't Run
5. The Ventures - Lets Go

Where are the Beatles? Back then, my sister bought the Beatles' albums, so I didn't have to.

 

I cannot remember the first 5 CDs I bought, but I can remember the first 5 LPs I bought which was about 20 years earlier.
1. Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 4
2. Elvis' Golden Records Vol. 3
3. Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 2
4. How Great Thou Art
5. Spinout
6. Clambake

I mention 6 because I bought the last two on the same day.

I bought them in stereo even though I only had a mono record player (fitted with a stereo stylus) because I was think ahead. I bought my first stereo 6 years later. Besides by then mono was being phased out and mono and stereo records cost the same in 1968.
