Both still great albums.
Iggy & the Stooges Raw Power was another early one. Cheers

As was I. I had to take weekend jobs for money, working on my parents 10 acres was just part of life & didnt result in $'s, no such thing as an allowance. The high voltage album I bought on cassette. Cheers

I bought 3 albums at the same time, at the same store
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Alice Cooper - School's Out
Deep Purple - Machine Head

My paper route got me money to buy music

I just had a thought after reading Ivan and Wav's comments. I started hearing current popular music and some older stuff in around 5th or 6th grade. 1975-1976. While I had a number of Classic music albums mom and dad acquired, it was the stuff our friends brought to school to jam to that got me buying recorded music of my own. The part I got to thinking about as I started this post, is some of my first vinyl was of the 45 record kind. I still remember my favorite one I got around the time when Ivan and I were 10. Here it is.

Here is another of those 45 records I remember getting.

Then there was a little diddy I would later learn the meaning of many years into the future.

Here are some of the tunes our friends introduced me to.

Another momentous occasion happened out in one of those portable trailer classrooms when our teacher showed us this movie

Despite hearing a number of classic rock songs during my years from 8-13 yrs old, I would have to repeat an experience I have touched on numerous times over the years. If my memory is 100% accurate, I remember waiting for a class to start and one older boy in the class had a cassette tape of this album. From the first NOTES of Runnin with the Devil, I was hooked and R n R would course through my veins the rest of my days.

From hearing this album that first time, I could not get enough, and a number of new friends would introduce me to some of my other lifelong friends who performed and recorded GOLD onto vinyl.

While it was back in the same mix of Elton, Labelle, Beatles, BTO, etc around '76, I also got dipped in the pool with GRAND FUNK!!! Not bad for a 12 year old to set roots in. I think this was the first GFR album I ever heard.

Then these:

I cannot even fathom such a catalog of bad AZZ songs from 3 guys as GF has. No wonder RUSH had a spot in my heart as well.,

Showing my age - the first records I bought myself were TV themes: Batman and Secret Agent on 45RPM singles. Still have them.
First album I bought myself was Insight Out by The Association; the second was the movie soundtrack from Casino Royale.
Then I bought the first Doors album, and never looked back - it was nothing but rock from then on.
