Title: Your First Album
Post by: Laundrew on 20 Jul 2013, 05:58 pm
Stopped in at a local brick and mortar store this morning to have a look around and was pleasantly surprised to see the first album that I had listened to. Do you remember what your first album was  :scratch:

Be well...

I remember that I had to borrow my Grandparent's portable record player to listen to my first album - almost seems like this happened yesterday  :P

 Yes, it was "Another Side of Bob Dylan" 1964. Never knew the sound but I was taken by the picture. :roll:

Ricky Nelson's first album released in 1957.  My first record was a 45 "The Green Door by Jim Lowe" and released in 1956.  I didn't have a record player and I would borrow my sisters and it was similar to the second image, but her's was a Columbia.  Great idea and I am going to start a first hi-fi set to go along with this.

Good Listening,
Mike

I started to get real interested in Rock and Roll in the late 50's with Elvis, etc., and loved American Bandstand. I couldn't get enough of Rock and Roll. We use to tune into our local radio station that only allowed Rock and Roll for a few hours a night.

I bought all my music on 45's of course and had an RCA Victor bakelite automatic changer for playing them. I had that thing for years until 33 1/3 became more popular.

I can't even remember what my first record was. I can tell you it was a heck of a lot better than a lot of the crap that passes for music today. :)

My parents provided various Beatles cassettes to my siblings and I when we were very young, we listened to them on portable cassette player/recorders, and I remember Abbey Road from those days very well.  But the first real LP I ever owned was given to me by my best friend as a birthday present, Led Zeppelin III.  I had to beg my father to let me play it on his rig (he was an audiophile, the system included Dahlquist DQ-10s), this LP started me off on the road to music loving, and audiophilia.

The first album I recall listening to, over and over, was a 33 1/3 LP of Bruno Walter conducting the CBS orchestra playing Beethoven's 5th and 6th Symphonies.

I'm still a fan of Beethoven 5 and 6.

The other 3 albums that I listened to where:

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Live and Newport '58
Oscar Peterson Trio with the Russ Garcia orchestra -  Swingin' Brass with the Oscar Peterson Trio


The first album that I spent my own money on was The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

That's a gorgeous turntable, wow!  :hyper:

* My first album? Mmmm... The Beatles 'Revolver', or was it Manitas de Plata... Or perhaps a 12-disc box set of all the greatest Classical composers?

With a mixture of nostalgia and embarrassment, I confess that my first was the The Partridge Family Album.

My first album was Beatles VI.  Purchased in 1965 at Deluxe Music in Chicago on the Northwest side.

This is a clean replacement of the original

My grandmother gave me this when I was 8yo. I played the shit out of it for 25 years. It is worn out and warped now, but I keep it as a keepsake.

Here's my first album, purchased from my cousin who was selling them out of his home through a mail ordering thing he had going on.

Still have the album today and it sounds great on my system.
