What was your first LP record album YOU bought ?

[Bruce Banner]

The first LPs I ever bought were the Star Wars soundtrack, and some Power Records SMDM & super hero discs.

Ah, vinyl.

[The Bat]

Elvis Presley- Sun Sessions

[The Bat]

My Mom already owned this one...and it's what made me a lifetime Elvis fan.

I bought this when I was five years old with birthday money in 1975. Still in my collection! I never stopped buying LP's--I still buy a few hundred a month!

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Their first Australian album.

ELVIS - Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite. I still have it too.

That was the second album I ever purchased and it was the limited edition that was gold vinyl. I wonder what that would be worth today?

[Adam West]

Great question. I am trying to go back in time and remember which was the first one I purchased as opposed to a gift. I know Kiss Alive II was the first album I received as a gift. It is going to be a toss up between Kiss Destroyer or Michael Jackson "Off the Wall". I know I was in 5th grade, one bought and one a gift but can't remember which was which but I would probably lean toward Kiss Destroyer since that was my favorite band back then. I definitely remember first cassette purchase was The Police-Synchronicity and first CD-Genesis three sides live. I also remember buying lot's of inexpensive vinyl of overstock.

KISS Alive II.
I remember because I had borrowed Love Gun and Alive II from a friend.
The tunes, artwork, and inserts were cool.
I then had to give em back; so I went and bought Alive II.
It was a re-release and did not have any of the original inserts (Thanks Polygram).
I then started hunting for originals and got em all.

My first store-bought CD was, Turbo Lover by Judas Priest.

I never bought LPs back in the day ... just cassettes. I think I nabbed a few LPs at a flea market back in 92/93 of misc. star wars music. I do know my first cassette I bought was Survivor's Eye of the Tiger LOL.

I had all those Elvis LP's listed but they were my older sisters hand-me-downs

[Earth 2 Chris]

The Best of the Statler Brothers

Hey, I like The Statler Brothers! My mom loved them. They backed Johnny Cash early in their career so that makes them cool to me!

[Mikey]

Flowers on the Wall is one of my favorite songs of all time

[Brad]

When I was 12 or 13 years old I joined one of the music clubs (either Columbia House or BMG) and got these albums on my first purchase;

Rush, 2112
Kiss, Destroyer and Love Gun
Peter Frampton, Frampton Comes Alive
Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
The Who, Live At Leads

I still have them all and they are in pretty nice condition. I put all my albums in plastic protective sleeves.

[Captain_Dan]

My first were 2. KISS ALIVE II and LOVE GUN, I was in heaven.
