I believe it was the story of star wars. audio book with record. not too many people did books on record back then. I think my first real music was either tom petty "damn the torpedos" or ted nugent "scream dream" oh to be 12 again, although in hindsight, neither of those is that bad of an album. I have bought much worse dreck as a responsible adult.
My first 2 singles were Christmas pressies. Little White Bull - Tommy Steel and Stagger Lee - Lloyd Price I think.This was in anticipation of mum and dads new "hi-fi" I think they were called "Stereos" then. Garrard multi changer deck, one speaker in the lid the other one clipped on the base each with about 8 ft of bell wire. Sounded marvellous after the 78 only mono "Radiogram".
I can't for the life of me remember my first LP. judging by the albums in my collection I would think it was the first Rolling Stones album.

Black Sabbath were our next door neigbours in the mid seventies. They bought a lovely house on the neigbouring farm, and when they applied for planning to build a sound-proof studio...
My Uncle Dennis, who was on the planning comittee, propsed this be approved on the basis that everyone would able to hear them for miles if it was not allowed! As a kid I had no idea they were famous! Bit odd but perfectly nice!
First Gift, Great C major of Schubert, Halle Barbirolli for my tenth birthday, and first one bought was Dvorak Cello Concerto, Rostropovich, Boult with the RPO, both on HMV and costing two pounds and a shilling! Damn, that slipped out!!

A Swedish children´s TV show in the early 70s, that was released on Vinyl. Very educational, including a crocodile and some sort of teddybear (I never found out what Drutten was). This is for real. Well my father paid for it, but it was my first LP. It could have been KISS, Detroit Rock City, but for some reasons my father bought it for himself....

Ray Stevens "Greatest Hits" circa 1972? Bought with money that I earned helping take inventory at a five and dime store. I was 12yr old.
First non-goofy (some would dispute) "Goodby Yellowbrick Road". My mom drove me down town to the local head shop/record store (Budget Tapes and Records Missoula, Montana. Still in town but not a head shop and only CDs) I don't know why I rember, but the gutters were clogged with about a foot of slush with water standing in the grooves made by car tires. I loved going in there to look through the record bins just to see the cover art.(and smell the incense) I was quite familiar with covers of albums that I would not own for years. (Hot Rats , Weasles Ripped My Flesh etc..) CD shopping never really compares.
