re: your first LP, Cd etc. ?

[Dynabeat Tim]

Ok here's something that might be fun and has probably been done before.....but what was the first LP or Cd you owned ?
The first LP that I'm aware of is a Ricky Nelson LP that was my older brothers. It had a song on it called "Thats All". and came out around 1960. I have it now on Cd, and its cool to listen to it....
but my first one that was actually my "own" was one that I got for christmas in 1965.
"rubber soul"......my Mom knew I liked the Beatles so she just asked for their latest record ! What an LP ! What a mom ! The stereo version yet ! Which was cool until 2 years later my player's one side stopped working and I thought that I had somehow messed up the record cause the voices were gone on some songs ! lol I went and bought the mono copy and all was well ! Oh the memories everytime I hear those songs !
She also bought "rainy day woman" in '66 for herself cause she liked the tune !

[Mudcrutch]

probably something Sesame Street related on a 45.

[wild1forever]

Excluding the Partridge Family albums (LOL), my first real album was "Machine Head" by Deep Purple.

My sisters had a bunch of Beatles albums and singles. I can only imagine how much some of those Swan Records singles must be worth today.

[AmyLou]

We had these Alan Sherman LPs, listened to them over and over. My first LP I can recall was the Fifth Dimension (the one with the balloon on the jacket), also Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass.

[ronald_wilson@charter.net]

three dog night's ---------greatest hits

[Mary Jane 49]

The first 45 i bought was
Cathys Clown by the Everley Brothers , and the first LP was Please Please Me --The Beatles

[Miami Steve]

My first record was Walt Disney's Happiest Songs which you could buy at Gulf gas stations. My dad got it autographed by Louis Prima for me, still have it. Then I had a couple Banana Splits EPs that I got by sending in some cereal box tops. "Tra La La" and "Doin' the Banana Split" I think they were. A couple years later I got the LP "Let It Be" for my birthday. I really liked it but they didn't make any more records after that, I guess they broke up or something.

[Gatorfan]

My first 45 record was Bob Seger's Heavy Music. My first LP ... I think it was Sgt. Pepper.

[KansasPettyFan]

My first album was a Shaun Cassidy album. I thought he was soooo cool! lol

[WildflowerNJ]

My first record was an album..my Mom bought it for me. Yep, she was pretty cool, too.... Meet The Beatles...

[KansasPettyFan]

I googled it and found the one! Awww...isn't he cute!? HAHAHA

[WildflowerNJ]

Haha, he is Teresa....I liked David, too...:003:

Hey, Dynabeat Tim, thanks for this thread......

[Echosoftom]

^ HAHA! Teresa!

I remember my first album very well. It was Carole King's Tapestry. I wore a hole into that album. I still play it regularly to this day. The music is timeless and it's held up very well over the years.

[surfnburn]

Haha...Shaun is dreamy...

Oh gosh...my dad used to get promos from record companies. I got a lot of hand me downs from my sister, too.

My favorites were the Monkees and the Lovin' Spoonful. I think the first one in my possession was the Hayley Mills Pollyanna record...lol

[nurktwin]

jeez, i must be in the land of teenie's. look at that list above!

[Echosoftom]

^ You know what Ames you just reminded me. Actually my first album that someone else bought for me was an Alvin & The Chipmunks album. I think I was about seven. I was thinking more of what I got for myself.

[surfnburn]

^Oh man...Alvin rocks! I saw a trailer for a movie a couple of months ago... I can't wait...lol

[agirl]

Probably some kiddie songs on a 45.

[KansasPettyFan]

jeez, i must be in the land of teenie's. look at that list above!

LOLOL!

I guess before Shaun I had The Brady Bunch and Partridge Family albums. :p

[The Wild One, Forever]

The first CD I remember ever really being "mine" was Elton John's "Greatest Hits" my dad really hates Elton John, but he knew how much I love him, and got it for me for Christmas when I was about 8. OH boy was I happy.

[Danny Mac]

Eagles "The Long Run"
Got it for Christmas one year?

[conmae]

Free To Be You & Me - Marlo Thomas

[EpiphanyDH]

My first album or LP was A Hard Days Night by the Beatles
My first 45 was I Know A Place by Petula Clark (followed by Downtown)
My first CD was Full Moon Fever

[Pettyjunkie]

The first CD that I remember owning was Aqua's Aquarium. I love that CD still even though it's...embarrassing.

First LP I bought was a Bee Gees one, I think Ideas.

[Echosoftom]

Free To Be You & Me - Marlo Thomas
LOL! Connie, I never even knew Marlo Thomas had an album.

What I find funny is how you can seperate us oldsters from the youngens. They say, my first cd and we say our first album.

[TheWildOne]

My mother was always into music and had lots of LP's, 45's, and 78's, so she started buying me albums when I was young. I had all kinds of Disney shows on vinyl. Greyfriar's Bobby stands out in my mind. Wish I still had those today. Alvin and The Chipmunks. The Monkees. I got The Beatles HELP! when it first came out. (We went to see the movie, too.) Then more Beatles albums. (My mother belonged to The Capitol Record club, and there were alwasy LP's showing up at the house!) Probably the first things I bought for myself would have been Neil Diamond Gold, Recorded Live At The Troubador, and Three Dog Night, Captured Live At The Forum. That was after having seen both of them live, and I was trying to recapture/relive that excitement from the live show!

[Marion]

I'm sure it was the Osmond Brothers.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Wc0HO0sYL._AA240_.jpg

[Starfish]

I had the Cinderella soundtrack album and a Chipmunks Christmas album but they were technically my parents' I suppose. The very first 45 I owned was Little Arrows by Leapy Lee. Anyone remember that classic? LOL

[Mary Jane 49]

Little Arrows --Leapy lea , I remember it well LOL
Now that song will be in my head all day and i`ll know who to blame !!!

[wild1forever]

The first CD that I remember owning was Aqua's Aquarium. I love that CD still even though it's...embarrassing.

Is that the one with "Barbie Girl"?

[Pettyjunkie]

^Yeah it is.

[Wildflower]

My first 45 was "Der Computer No 3" by France Gall. My first LP was "Electric Warrior" By T.Rex (Oh, how was I in love with Marc Bolan!:icon_lol:)

[KansasPettyFan]

and a Chipmunks Christmas album

HAHAHA! I had forgotten that we had that one. I wonder if my mom and dad still have it! LOL

[nurktwin]

wow that's hard to answer. i could easily say 'meet the beatles' but i'm not sure on that album, but i think that was it. there were singles like telstar and others before the beatles. and even andy williams 'hard to get used to losing you' or something like that. we always had music in the house and it's hard to know when the change over really took place.

[Starfish]

This is for you, Christine, lol

Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair
When you're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere..

The classics stick with you, HAHA!

[jawallac]

My sister was born 4 years after me. When she came home from the hospital, so the story goes, she brought me a record player and kiddie records. But what did I buy first? Partridge Family, David Cassidy, Bay City Rollers... typical teenybopper stuff.

[Mary Jane 49]

Little arrows that will hit you once
And hit you once again
Little arrows will hit everyone
Every now and then

LOL ARRRGH http://bestsmileys.com/frustrated/4.gif

[Echosoftom]

^ Poor Christine, LMAO!

[Ladywiz]

That would be "Hard Day's Night" at age 12 --- after being dragged sick as a dog to a family reunion my sweet Daddy bought this album for me on the way home.

[Refugee]

Excluding the Partridge Family albums (LOL), my first real album was "Machine Head" by Deep Purple.

My sisters had a bunch of Beatles albums and singles. I can only imagine how much some of those Swan Records singles must be worth today.

OMG! My first "real" albums other than the Partridge Family was Deep Purple's Machine Head and Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies.

You're scaring me, Toni, lol.

[Wildflower]

This is for you, Christine, lol

Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair
When you're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere..

The classics stick with you, HAHA!

I Like that song

[wild1forever]

^ LOL!

I still think "Machine Head" is a great album. Thanks to my sister, I sure had good taste for a 10-year-old, lol.

[Athena]

The first albums I remember having as a kid were Winnie the Pooh, Peter and the Wolf, and one with Pete Seeger singing kiddie songs.

My first REAL album was The Beach Boys Endless Summer and the second was Aerosmith Rocks. I graduated very quickly :)

[HeartbreakerFan]

I think it was A Hard Day's Night followed by a Paul Revere and the Raiders album.

[Flower]

Bay City Rollers:faint:

[nurktwin]

hey ref, believe it or not, the old VJ, tollie, swan, mgm and other 45's are not worth that much. it's the single picture sleeves that are worth all the money. and believe it or not, the usa releases sleeves are worth the most! for some reason the usa capitol released sleeves are worth the most and they were the most sold! strange, isn't it? and i have those sleeves put away.

[Pankie]

We had these Alan Sherman LPs, listened to them over and over. My first LP I can recall was the Fifth Dimension (the one with the balloon on the jacket), also Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass.


I had the Tijuana Brass, too. Loved "Taxi"

[Pankie]

I'm sure it was the Osmond Brothers.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Wc0HO0sYL._AA240_.jpg

Had that one, too....I always thought Merrill was the cutest one!:heart:

[Dynabeat Tim]

any guy ever like the tijuana brass LP "Whipped Cream and other delights" ?
Not the LP but the cover ? for a 10 yr old back in the 60's.....WOW !!

[Magnolia]

Meet The Beatles...
Meet the Beatles was the first album I ever owned, too. I'll never
forget the Christmas morning when I opened that - I was SOOO
excited. Before that I always just listened to my sister's stuff when
they'd let me.
Hey Tim, I had that Herb Alpert "Whipped Cream" album, too. I loved
it. I can see how an adolescent boy would have loved that cover! LOL!

[Dynabeat Tim]

Thats funny, over the years whenever I'd meet other guys my age and we started talking about LP's, someone would mention that cover, and everyone would remember it. I can remember looking at it and quickly putting it back when I seen my Mom coming toward the record dept. ! What an innocent time in our lives !
It's amazing how many Herb Alpert LP's you see in garage sales, etc. now a days.
He sold tons of LP's back then.

[Magnolia]

I can remember looking at it and quickly putting it back when I seen my Mom coming toward the record dept.Ha Ha Ha! It sure was "risque" for its time, wasn't it?
