Tilokarat Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The first record I bought was this Extended Play Album by Elvis featuring 'Ready Teddy', 'Old Shep', 'Anyplace Is Paradise' and the ever popular 'So Glad You're Mine'. The year was 1956, and I still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RouxTheDay Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Feel free to laugh as hard as I am right now... it was one of those K-Tel compilation albums (vinyl) you could order off the television (USA). I think I was about 8 years old. I thought I was SSSOOOOOO cool... Then there were the vinyl 45s of popular songs... The first "real" record I bought (and yes, it was vinyl), was Led Zeppelin, Houses of the Holy, when I was about 11 years old. I also had a sh*tload of 8-track tapes. Yes, I'm old.

dingdongrb Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Wow... Reading all these posts brings 'flashbacks'.... Some very good music listed on here. Many I still have on CDs (Sweet, LedZepplin, Blue Oyster Cult, Beatles, Stones, etc..) I remember my sister, three years older than me, would go and buy the top single 45 rpm after watching Dick Clark on Saturday mornings. She would get together with her girlfriends and they would dance to their 45s all day long. They would carry around their portable 45 record player along with their cases of records. I also remember buying cereal (or at least have Mom buy) that would have a 45 rpm cutout on the back of the box. We would collect and play them all the time until they wore out. As far as my first record I bought??? Hmmm.. My brain is so fried I actually forget... But I do remember my first concert. It was in 1972, Dayton Ohio, Deep Purple... Maybe someone should start a thread on first concerts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumrunner Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Well this should age me My first record was a 78 RPM version of "Little Richard Tutti Frutti". At the time 45 RPM's were in full swing but we did not have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
