What was the first music album you bought?

Yeah, I remember that. Funny how that album cover is considered risque back then and nowadays it would be considered lightweight.

Yeah, I bought 45’s before I bought LP’s. They were cheaper, and I was a broke kid! :smiley:

It was 1974. The band was Weather Report. The LP was “Mysterious Traveler.”

I don’t remember what it was, but I guarantee you it was a 45. Some hot 70’s hit, no doubt. I couldn’t afford to buy albums at that point.

My first full length album was probably this one:

Pretty sure Michael Jackson was my second album… Either that or Iron Maiden’s Powerslave…

I don’t know about the first, but a good guess would be one by parents bought for me when I was around 10 years old. Will go with this, in 12" record format:

Kiss - Double Platinum

Or does it have to be one I bought myself with own money? If so, a good guess would be this, in cassette tape format:

ZZ Top ‎– Eliminator

Albedo 0.39 by Vangelis.

I was led to it by the soundtrack of the TV series Cosmos (on PBS) by Carl Sagan: Cosmos: A Personal Voyage - Wikipedia

I figured I’d make this my first post since joining. First vinyl I ever bought…

Yeah, it’s a cheat, it’s a single, but it explains so much about me.
