Vinyl "Johnny Winter...And Live" I still have it, worn out but it plays well.

 

[Gonna Smoke]

I thin mine was Led Zepplin album, the one with the blimp on the cover.,around 1972-3

Great album, a classic!! That was their debut album and it was originally released in 1969...

 

[Inscrutable]

Hard to remember 50+ years ago … also because my first albums were brought home to me by my older sister at her first break in college. Formed my music tastes very different from my middle school friends in the late 60’s. While they were listening to Monkees or worse, I was listening to Dylan, Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Blues Project, John Mayall, etc.
I think first purchase may have been Jefferson Airplane ‘Volunteers’ or the first Led Zep just mentioned.

Steve Miller Band Fly Like an Eagle
Kiss Destroyer
Aerosmith Rocks
Bay City Rollers Bay City Rollers <==hides my face in shame

Steppenwolf Gold on 8 track. 60s 70s music still going strong after 50-60 yrs. This CRAP they call music nowadays probably no one will be listening to in 10 years.

The first I purchased were 3 vinyl albums - must have been around 1975-76.

The Beatles - Live at the Hollywood Bowl
Merle Haggard - Songs I'll Always Sing (a greatest hits collection)

The 3rd was one of those K-Tel records (anyone else remember those?) with a bunch of hits by various artists.
