What Was The First Record You Ever Owned?

What Was The First Record You Ever Owned?​

For me this question has a special meaning. I grew up in a household of Country & Western music. Names Like Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard etc.. That all changed on my 8th birthday when my brother in law gave me my first record. It was a rock record and up until that point I had never heard rock music, but when I heard the record for the first time it really changed everything in my world.

That record was: Angie by the Rolling Stones.

Can you remember yours and if so what was it?

My brothers and sisters had 45s that were popular in the 50s and 60s....but the first album I remember buying was Chicago VI

I played Trombone in High School....so I liked the brass.

It was my 13th birthday, and my granny sent me a birthday check.
1977 I believe. I had seen the movie on TV recently and loved the song.
Fell in love with Babs at the time. Not so much anymore.

Queen was on alot in the 70s and 80s....but I never bought any of their music.
I did like Steely Dan, and Pink Floyd.
Saw Pink Floyd twice in concert.

Everly Brothers (45), "Bye Bye Love"/ "I Wonder If I Still Care". Didn't have a record player, used my friend's. "Til I Kissed You" is my all-time favorite. It was our song (Sharon and me).

Sue and I didn't have an 'our song' but liked to get it on to music like Percy Faith's "Theme from A Summer Place" .



The '50's' were great, best years of my life.
