YOUR FIRST ALBUM

Wow. That’s a tough one. Was a long time ago. Might have been Herb Alpert.... but that might have been one I ripped off from my parents. Also could have been the first Chicago album. (The next one after Chicago Transit Authority) I have an Alice Cooper that was a pretty early purchase. As well as Tommy and a three record live ELP album.
 
I cobbled together a turntable from parts and built a wood base for it when I was around 13 years old in 1969. Could not afford a needle so I used the smallest finishing nail my dad had. Once it was done I begged my mom to take me to the GEM store on Rt 40 in Baltimore County. I bought The Beach Boys Today and Led Zeppelin II albums. I played those 2 until the grooves were worn out.

Damm brother that’s incredible, the only way I have stolen any music is when I ask a buddy of mine to burn me some CD’s of albums I purchased many moons ago

Oh..... if we’re adding in singles I know that one. Status Quo “Pictures of Matchstick Men.” The record that drove me to rock.
