The first album I owned was Sly and the Family Stone. I played it non-stop until my parents threatened to take it away. It was soon joined by a Steppenwolf album.

I don't remember exactly the first, but this is one of them.

My first album was The Sons of the Pioneers, 25 Favorite Cowboy Songs from the 1960s. It was when I was making the transition from rock and roll to country and western music. I've stayed with it ever since and still have the album. Now what I listen to is considered classic country.
 
Rubber Soul. "Norwegian Wood" and "Nowhere Man" were my favorites in the album...1965. At the time, I think "Michelle" was a favorite on the album too. I remember not liking the first song at all, "Drive My Car".

I wasn't really into records, I did like music though
and went dancing, just didn't play music.

After I left the Royal Air Force, I got a job driving
buses and one job was to transport the "U.S. Air
Force Pipe Band" from the Edinburgh airport to the
Usher hall where they were performing and they
gave me a copy of their LP with all their populer
tunes on it.

I still didn't have a player though and had the disc
for ages before I ever heard it.

Geez can anyone really remember back that far, holy smokes! First one, I don't know, but I remember Jesus Christ Superstar, Jane Fonda's(well not music obviously), Carole King, Carly Simon, Eddie Money, Billy Joel, The Eagles, The Doobie Brothers, .....on & on.
 
I remember my first album because my older sister's were tired of me raiding their album collection so one of them gave me $5, drove me up to the nearest record store and told me to pick out an album and quit borrowing hers..lol.

not sure if it was an 'album', but it did have two songs on it (probably)

My big sister and I listened to it until it wore out

I think the record was red...or yellow

sat there watching it go 'round

wondering

just wondering how in heck that music could emanate from vinyl grooves and a needle


still do
 
I have every album I ever bought. They are all still in good condition. It's tough to recall which album I bought first without going through them all. I started my first band at eleven, so I had to buy a lot of albums to cop tunes for our gigs. I think a sound effects album might have been my first. I used it to make some interesting tapes when I was eleven.
 
John Mayall and the Bluesreakers - with Eric Clapton. Not sure of the album's official name but it's commonly called The "Beano" Album. The Beano was a popular childrens' comic. The sleeve also shows a young John McVie - the "Mac" of Fleetwood Mac.

I remember two very early albums: Paul Robeson's Ballad For America, which a friend gave me for one birthday, and Oklahoma! which my parents gave me for another. Not sure which came first. Old fashioned
78's. I played them over and over again.
 
I think it was a Glen Campbell album, probably this one (I have 3). I was almost exclusively a 45 rpm singles person, until you couldn't get them anymore. Have been disappointed with most albums I've bought---one or two good songs, the rest, so-so at best. I guess the fact that they were obviously putting together albums like that on purpose slowed me down from buying them.

I like that you can download individual songs once again. :)
