First LP

**MickeyMac** · April-30-10, 02:46 PM

What was the first LP you bought with your own money???

**Detroitnerd** · April-30-10, 02:51 PM

MickeyMac, you may not know this, but this part of the forum is usually reserved for Detroit-specific postings. The Non-Detroit part of the forum is a better place to post general, pop culture type stuff.

Relevance to Detroit? Move this and First 45 to Connect, please.

Why Connect? Wouldn't non-detroit be better? Or is that just the political ghetto?

I dunno, but I got twelve of 'em for a penny.

I might be able to list them all.

Beach Boys-Endless Summer
Beach Boys-Spirit of America
James Taylor's-Greatest Hits
Styx-The Grand Illusion
Boston's first
Foreigner's first
Stevie Wonder-Songs in the Key of Life
Thin Lizzy-Breakout
Foghat's first
Fleetwood-Mac Rumors
Queen-A Night at the Opera
Van Morrison-Moondance

Not bad for a twelve year-old, huh?!

Within three years, I already owned $3k worth of hifi...in high school! I guess it was pre-ordained that I end up in the hifi business.

Cheers, fun memories.

Meet the Beatles

**EMG** · May-01-10, 03:06 PM

I actually honestly don't remember. I was [[and still am) so much into music and my family had bought me several already since the days of my very early childhood and there was a period of overlap so I'm not sure I remember which was the first purchased with my own money. But some of the earliest ones I remember are the Harry Simeone Christmas pageant album "The Little Drummer Boy" and the Van Cliburn Red Seal recording of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto #1 [[which remains one of my all-time favorite classical pieces and, for that matter, one of my all-time favorite pieces of music of any type).

**Jimaz** · May-01-10, 04:01 PM

Garcia. It's probably still in the basement. Boxes of vinyl are incredibly heavy. I can't believe I lugged that stuff all over the country for so many years.

**Philbo** · May-01-10, 09:59 PM

Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles. It's still my favorite, remember " Lovely Rita " ?

**Vic_doucette** · May-02-10, 01:37 PM

The Frost -- Rock & Roll Music, circa 1969.

Even dressed like one of them [[Cory Wells I think, possibly Chuck Negron) for a while when I was in 5th-6th grade, after seeing him on an album cover with white shirt, white pants, black belt and boots.

Also my first, though I don't think it was with my own money - not sure which one that was. My sister and I got enough money from our parents to buy an album, probably 1969 or so. We'd been Beatles nuts since 1964, and a brother had Meet The Beatles back then for a while, so we had to have it again.

**jiminnm** · May-02-10, 06:07 PM

Wah-Watusi by The Orlons. It was, I think, 1962.

Hey Ravine, are you going to the picnic?

I can't remember the first LP I bought with my own money, but the first one I remember that was mine and not my brother's was probably this one:
