If you're in the 30 plus class or less, it may be your first cassette or CD.....
Anyway, curious, what was YOUR first memory of your "first" album ?
Me ? Well , we were living in Beirut, Lebanon - where my dad was an associate professor
of nutrition in the agriculture department at the American University of Beirut - anyhow,
one fine day he brought home the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper....think it was about '67...
" EVERYBODY is listening and talking about this record" my dad explained - and he sat us
down , put it on at 33 and one third RPM's - and we listened to it - all the way through.
Naturally, it blew our minds. Dad was 39, I was 8.... " The Hendersons will all be there..."

In fact I might have bought them at the same time. Looking back on it I can't believe I would have actually spent my hard earned hay making money on those two albums.
I was the youngest of three brothers, the oldest had the Beatles early recording
along with the early British bands. Second brother was alittle more radical with the
Doors and those groups. Parents listened to the oldy station, I think my first physical
album ( hate to say it ) was probably Davey, Peter, Mickey, Michael Watched all the
Midnight Specials, Soul Train To this day once a week I watch Al Green on you tube
then it was Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, Lynrd Skynrd, Black Sabbath
When I was 7 and my brother was 6 our Grandmother and Grandfather took us to the mall. We drug them in the record store and begged for an album that caught our eye. After much pleading, Gramma caved in and bought us our first album, AC/DC - Highway to Hell....LOL I still have it.
Good taste!

Btw, thank you!
It was probably Dark Side of the Moon, or Led Zepplin 1, something from the early to mid 70s for sure.
and do you guys still call them "albums" today?
Like CD's and newer music, do you still say "albums" and your kids look at you like you're nuts, like "WTF is an 'album?'"
