Today's is simple - a song from the first album you actually owned. I am going with the very first album I ever bought with my own money but, a gift could count as well. Remember, this one you had to have actually owned and placed on a record player (or 8 Track - or for Tom, Victrola :smile: - with your own hands.

Here's my first record, bought with my own money (25 cents a week I earned from house chores).


And yes - I still have it!

It's kinda fuzzy memory, but the earliest album I "remember" buying, was probably Elton John "Caribou" but before that, one of the earliest 8-tracks I recall was Moody Blues "Every Boy Deserves Favor". But there may have been other before these that I'm just not recalling.

Good one, Tom

I have no idea what the first music album I bought but is would have been a 8-track well into my adult years. The first album I can remember listing to was Glen Miller's 25th (?) Anniversary album sometime in the early/mid fifties at Xmas time. Spent the afternoon listing to that album, loved it.

Jan Garber. The Idol of the Airlanes. Another sweet band, like Guy Lumbago and Sammy Kaye.
I can't remember my first album - maybe George Shearing?

I think it was "Cosmo's Factory" by CCR

So I had to think long and hard about this, I can't remember the first album I bought, but I think the first record I ever bought was a 45, I am sure many of you remember those, if you had a multiple play record player they also made a little dohickey that would drop multiple 45s on the platter.

Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed". Bought the LP with my first paycheck from my first real job (other than mowing yards and such)
Pretty sure I've still got the album, but haven't had a working turntable in many years.
