re: What was the very first album that you paid for?

That's cool! I remember my mom knocking on the door saying "What the hell are you listening to?"

Thanks for not giving me as much grief as I'm giving myself. Thankfully, my taste has improved a bit.

Jethro Tull- War Child 8 Track.....I still have it somewhere around here.

Msster P - Ghetto D

Iron maiden - powerslave

Was 7 dollars at the record exchange

Allman Brothers "Live at Fillmore East" bought in 1972. I think since it was a double album it was around $4.97, single LPs were around $3.00 if I remember correctly, not as cheap as it sounds, was only making about 15 bucks a week job and allowance combined, minimum wage was $1.25 then.

I am pretty sure that the first album I bought myself was Radiohead Ok Computer.

First one that I ever owned was Garth Brooks - No Fences, was probably 7, my Grandmother got it for me.

Meet The Beatles, soon followed by High Tide & Green Grass (Stones Greatest Hits).

With my own money.....vanilla ice cassette tape

"Live at the Fillmore East" was your first purchase? That's boss

Yep, as I posted in the "Beaker Street" thread, one night I found Beaker Street from KAAY Little Rock on my bedside AM radio (tube type), they played the full 20 minute side of "Whipping Post", I was a guitar picker and had never heard anything like it. The next day I took all my money and bought a cheap stereo and the LP.
