Beatles Rubber Soul.

Razorbacker

Steppenwolf Gold. It was a "best of" type thing.
The first album I ever owned was the Animals. House of the rising Sun, Wooly Bully. all that stuff.

NN

Not sure they sold albums when I first bought music, was single 45's with a junky song on the flip side.

Probably was "Goodbye Baby".

Probably a record club in the 60's 9 or 12 fer the one cent offer, if you joined. Rock and Dylan albums. Problem was you had to return a card or else they sent you crap every month, usually. Bought plenty in stores in the 60s/70s too, couple hundred or more.

I remember buying James Taylor's Sweet Baby James album, Dylan Highway 61 Revisited, Rolling Stones Greatest Hits with "I Can't Get No (Satisfaction)", "Get Off My Cloud" on it and Janis Joplin's Cheap Thrills. Many others ,like Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention "Freak-Out"

Jan and Dean "Little Old Lady From Pasadena" album. Bought it in 1964.

Youngest of six so I had plenty to borrow. Actually bought?

IIRC..... Scorpions Love at First Sting

Michakav

Still have it.

I don't really recall for sure, but I think it was the Greatest hits of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. If not that, probably John Denver's Rocky Mountain High.

First LP (album) I bought was Dvorak's "New World Symphony" -- the concert band I played in (trumpet) had just started rehearsing a "junior level" band version so I wanted to hear the real thing. I think the recording was RCA and with the Chicago Symphony.

Same week however was a Miles Davis album, a couple days afterward. So even then I had varied tastes.

Antonio

LP: The Wall, Pink Floyd.

Cassette: Fragil (Local progressive rock band from the early '80s)

CD: Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1

Diver43

American Pie by Don McLean

I've never bought an actual album (born in '88).

The first music that I bought with my own money was "Charlie Daniels, A Decade of Hits", I think I was around six or seven years old. I've still got the CD somewhere.

Probably was "Swan Lake" on CD. I had totally, and I mean TOTALLY, worn out my mother's copy on LP. She had given it to me and bought a new copy, but several years after these new fangled CD things came out, I splurged...

Love New World Symphony! Trumpet huh? French Horn here.

bullsi1911

First CD was Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime.

First cassette? No clue. Probably Weird Al Yankovich of some sort

Thinking back, I was maybe the ideal band trumpet player... not inventive, just played the notes as written, came to practice on time. Talent was limited, stars however for just showing up.

Bigslug

Def Leppard Pyromania on vinyl, which later led to Hysteria on cassette.

I only recently found and acquired both on CD and had to call my high school buddy to see if he could remember which was his last car with a cassette deck - which would probably tell me approximately the last time I had heard Hysteria in it's entirety. . .been a long 20+ years.

Big Chief

My sister (older) than me) had some LPs that were red in color, anyone remember those?

And didn't some 45s have a plastic insert so they would play on a record player made for LPs?

Buford

I remember those inserts.

roadking

Same as Chiro, KISS Destroyer. Vinyl.

jaywapti

First record was Harry Belafonte's "Matilda" first album was his "calypso" in the 50s, we were going to the Bahamas about once a week, spearfishing, got hooked on calypso at the " End of the World Bar " in Bimini.

Plenty of LPs were special colors although I can't remember which. And occasionally an LP printed with the album art, too.

Those little 3-prong inserts were always snapping so you'd have a bag of them handy.

And yeah, the albums themselves, various inserts, photos, booklets, etc... I remember the excellent art and photos from the Beatles' White Album, great portraits of the band. And yeah, I've still got most of them, neatly stacked away even thought I retired my turntable several years ago. But the LPs are still there, intact with the artwork. I've got several Beatles albums, Dylan, Hendrix, The Dead, Doors, Led Zepplin, Cream, Janis, Steppenwolf, The Band, all those great 60s - 70s groups. Those were the days.
