Whats your first ever record?

What was your first ever record? I'm fairly new to the whole record ordeal, so my first "Record" was Daft Punk's Alive 2007/1997 Deluxe Box Set

The first record that I buying is this one, Simon And Garfunkel* - Bridge Over Troubled Water. I still have the original in my collection though I've not played it for quite some time.

Unless there is some Disney album I am forgetting, Raffi (2) With Ken Whiteley - Baby Beluga

Ian Dury And The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick was the first record I went into a record shop and bought myself. Always the rebellious child I loved the A side but thought the title of the B side was very naughty which was the deciding factor in my choice.

The first record i bought with my own money, who knew what it would lead too.... Musical Youth - The Dutchie

David Bowie diamond dogs and status quo 12 gold bars in 1979, i was 4, that what i asked santa for and he did not let me down lol

i still own it too :)

The first record I ever bought with my own money was Grand Funk* - We're An American Band on gold wax with a sheet of stickers inside. I had no idea it was colored vinyl when I bought it and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I had the stickers on my school notebooks and one on my wallet. I was immediately hooked. I still own the record.

In 1987 https://www.discogs.sie.com/Depeche-Mode-Music-For-The-Masses/release/202709

Bobby "Boris" Pickett's-Monster Mash 7" & "lp".

Professional Widow - Tori Amos

My first purchase was actually 3 punk singles since I couldn't decide which one I liked best, I was 15.
X-Ray Spex - The day the World Turned Dayglo
The Clash - Tommy Gun
The Cure - Killing an Arab

Still got them, and like your first true kiss, I'll never forget it. I went into the listening booth to check them out, turned the amp up full and was blown away. Every penny for the next 20 odd years was spent on vinyl, and I mean every penny!

First album I owned, and purchased around '73/'74 aged three or four. Still have it :) Cy Payne & His Orchestra - Children's TV Themes

as a very young child I can playing this 45 Lee Dorsey - Ya, Ya / Give Me You on a child's portable toy record player...

ELO - Out Of The Blue. Funny, I was just as excited buying a used vinyl copy a few years ago.

Reveille Rock-Johnny and the Hurricanes 1959 on Warwick 45rpm. I'm old. Started my addiction that has never stopped or let up.

I first got a typical 50c record of 'Come The Day' by the seekers in 2014

DSOTM - Pink Floyd

A late bloomer, only started buying vinyl in early 2007, with Petter (5) - Untitled Acid EP being my first.

Elvis Presley....the blue and yellow double album....put on concerts for neighbourhood kids with my hockey stick guitar and a bag of chocolate chip cookies.

Pendulum by Creedence Clearwater Revival Was my first record. Bought in 1971. Still sounds great even if better CCR records appeared later in my collection. The best being Green River and Bayou Country.

That I bought was The Exploited - War now.

K-Tel's "Chart Hits '81 Vol. 1&2" on vinyl. Showing my age now. It was a Christmas present from my parents when I was aged 11. Closely followed by the first I bought, which was Ronco's "Super Hits #1 & 2" - probably bought it with my Christmas money. I still have them today.

https://www.discogs.sie.com/Various-Super-Hits-1/release/852682

I got into collecting records in August 2014, and my first one was a reissue of Sgt. Pepper by The Beatles. I believe my first original one was Surfing With the Alien by Joe Satriani

It might have been the Beat Street soundtrack.

I had some pocket money and bought three records. Two I can't recall at all, the third was a collection of Instrumental Brazilian music and had a picture of a girl in a bikini. That was almost 50 years ago.

Hotel California was the first real record I bought - paper round money paid for it. I still have it, although it's slightly the worse for wear nowadays.....

I Feel Fine by The Beatles.
My brother bought an LP by The Chipmunks of Beatles songs.
I think I made the better decision, but my brother was ahead of the game ever since !

Don't judge ;) before my brain could retain memories, this was my first hand-selected vinyl, according to my pops.

https://www.discogs.sie.com/Various-Mickey-Mouse-Disco/release/637704

- Kraftwerk - Computerwelt
- Udo Lindenberg - Meine Panik – Seine Größten Panik Hits

They are still in my collection ;)

This one, from Woolworth's autumn '93.

The next purchase was a few weeks later and not 1 but 3 records from Blackmarket, Soho. It was after feeling the buzz of that whole experience that the addiction fully set it!

Iron Maiden-Number of the Beast and Metallica-Ride the Lightning. Both purchased at a second hand shop back in 1989. Before that it was tapes for me, can't which one was the first.

Led Zepplin Houses of the Holy in 1973. I was 14.

Buzzmonx - Friction EP

The first record I ever bought was in 1964. A 45 single by the Beatles, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." The first album I bought was in 1966. "Aftermath" by The Rolling Stones. I still have it.

First record I ever bought was the original copy of "New Riders Of The Purple Sage", by the band of the same name. I still listen to it till this day. great album.

Logey
Led Zepplin Houses of the Holy in 1973. I was 14.

Same year, same age, but Led Zeppelin IV

Houses of the Holy was my first album as well. My dad gave it to me when I was 15 in 1994. It was the only record from his collection that survived.

The Sweet - Wig Wam Bam or Moudy Old Dough by Lieutenant Pigeon.

They were two. HELLOWEEN - walls of jericho & MEGADETH - so far so good so what!

My first bought record was from some Bazar shop for 20 Kč (less the euro :D ) I was 13 and still the day I listened to it :)

Visací Zámek - Traktor

Slip of the Tounge by Whitesnake, I think was my first ever record I bought myself. Still have it. First single was Heaven's on Fire by Kiss.

Keith Emerson with The Nice
https://www.discogs.sie.com/Keith-Emerson-With-Nice-Keith-Emerson-With-The-Nice/release/1378790
Bought it when I was 14 in a local record store and had no idea what kind of music would be on.
I still have it and I still like it.

First 7" was Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello and the Attractions - First album was (This is the) Modern World by The Jam - I was about 8 or 9! Still got them too :)

Men at Work - Business as Usual (purchased by my grandmother for me at turtles records and tapes)

Stevie B – Spring Love (Come Back To Me)

Boards of canada - Hi scores.

Bought about 27 years ago and I just sold it today - seriously.
Fripp and Eno - No Pussyfooting.
When I saw the cover as a teen and decided I would start buying vinyl once in awhile. I decided to list it for the small profit so it could be enjoyed by the next person. On the same day I bought Islands by KC. I actually played that a lot more. No Pussyfooting was just too weird to play in my parent's house. However because KC has horns and strings, I felt more comfortable playing it. I still have Islands. Nasty copy too.

The first album I ever bought was The Guess Who - Canned Wheat, and like everything I've ever bought album wise, I still have....Bought it 47 years ago.

The first record I ever consciously listened to was The White Album at the age of three or four....it still remains my all time favorite album by my all-time favorite band, and even though there are Beatles albums I find more experimentally substantial, there's personal reasons why The White Album brings me back. When I actually bought a turntable in high school, I was obsessed with 70s progressive rock in 2006, so my first albums were In The Court Of The Crimson King, Close To The Edge, everything in Pink Floyd's discography, Thick As A Brick, and Brain Salad Surgery.

I at the age of 6 when my uncle put this on his record player on a visit to family in Birmingham and this had just been released. It grabbed me with the volume and sound. We had vinyl in our house but this sold to me, everything I needed to know.

First vinyl I purchased together.
https://www.discogs.sie.com/Genesis-Invisible-Touch/release/657728

https://www.discogs.sie.com/Audio-Maze-Dr-S-Gachét-Full-Monty-Boyz-The-Way-Of-Life/release/180778

the first vinyl i bought was ABBA greatest hits, i was 7 at the time, i should of realised my sexual preferences along time before i did haha

My first vinyl was Black Sabbath - Paranoid

I went to Goodwill with my mom in 2002 and although I did not have a record player decided to buy it a whim with plans to listen to it in the future. The album is very special to me, I used to listen to it over and over (once I got a record player later in 2002) laying on the floor in the living room.

AC/DC - Powerage.

I was eleven years old:
Peter, Paul & Mary

My mom gave me a record player for Christmas and a copy of Abby Road by the Beatles..

Great to see the differences in age, style, timeperiode etc. Music & records for everyone. Long time ago:
https://www.discogs.sie.com/Osmonds-Osmonds-Greatest-Hits/release/1864411

Rush - 2112

my very first records were a couple of tapes from Eurythmics and Faith No More. My very first CD was Trompe Le Monde by The Pixies. My very first viyl was that first Nirvana LP.

my first record was bob Marley and the wailer's feat songs : One Drop , Natty Ride and Could You Be Loved

New Order - Technique

I don't my first CD or record. I think the first cassette I bought was the soundtrack for Ghostbusters II, I must've been 2 or 3.

The first single I got was Kiss - Double Platinum, in 1978 - I was six and had this portable turntable (I think it was a Philips) with a yellow plastic lid with a single speaker built in... totally compatible with my mono cassette recorder :) As I got more music, I would put the recorder in front of the speaker and make my own compilation tapes in a format which can best be described as "not exactly lossless".

Interesting question!
I think I can divide this question in three categories given to the answers above:
1 - This is one of my oldest memories. I was three years old and I was walking on a street with my mother when I heard the song played on a record shop and then I insisted I wanted it (it was near my birthday) and she bought it for me: a 78 rpm copy of "Cry Me A River" by Julie London;
2 - I personally bought from saving my allowance in 1962: an EP by the Beatles featuring "Anna", and
3 - This one I worked for it and it was an EP by Johnny Rivers featuring the song "Do You Wanna Dance?", in 1968.
I still have all the three of them.

George Harrison single with My Sweet Lord and Isn't It A Pity

First vinyl i bought was Village People's YMCA on 7".

HeadGames

I it very well! it was the first album Kiss released, Kiss, 1974.

These three, around February 2005 i think.
Quasimoto - The Further Adventures (Instrumentals)

Europe - The Final Countdown :(

Aside from designating myself 'keeper of the vinyl' and ending up with my brothers' records that were left behind as each one moved out... The first record I ever purchased was for 10 cents at a thrift store when I was in my late teens... A very clean and shiny copy of Mercury Rev's 'yerself is steam'. I still have it and cherish it deeply!

It was a K-Tel records compilation, Goofy Greats. I got it and two others with a record player for my 4th birthday. Thanks hippy Mom & Dad!
Various - Goofy Greats
First LP I buying with my own money was at Sam the Record Man, I was 6, is this one:

I always wished it was something more "cool" but anyway... https://www.discogs.sie.com/Liverpool-F-C-Squad-Liverpool-Were-Never-Gonna-Stop-Liverpool-Anthem/release/707764

Not a jot of interest in football now but i still have the vinyl.

My first record (I think) was Eric B is president on Zakia Records.

I can't for sure but one of my very first cassettes, when i was a kid, was Blood On The Dancefloor - HIStory In The Mix by Michael Jackson (Michael Jackson - Blood On The Dance Floor - HIStory In The Mix). My two first CD Singles were Jamiroquai - 'Little L' and U2 - 'Elevation'. There was a Slayer album and a bootleg of Daft Punk's Discovery around that time too. Some time after I discovered the Stones via Forty Licks, and I became a man.

My first record was Meddle (Pink Floyd)

The majority of my records are made up of my parent's collections, but the first record I bought for myself was the 2014 record store day reissue of the Beatles' Long Tall Sally 7" EP.
