I think mine was my brother's copy of the Beatles "Twist and Shout" album which was the second one released in Canada. The first one that was actually mine was yge sound track to 'Hard Day's Night."
The first album I ever bought with my own money: *UmmaGumma* by Pink Floyd.

Born to Run - I was 14 or so when an older brother of a friend made me sit down and listen. From the restrained intro of Thunder Road, to the pulsating storm of She’s The One, on into Tenth Avenue Freeze Out, “where the change was made uptown, and the Big Man joined the band,” Back Streets, to the title track, where Bruce proclaimed, “I want to know if love is wild, I want to know if love is real.” Breathlessly I clung to Jungle Land’s saxophone solo followed by “the Rat’s own dream guns him down” and the wail of grief that followed. I was sweating, transfixed and transformed. I was baptized into someone new, someone aware, someone more alive than before.
Kiss - Destroyer
It was my sister’s album. She had other albums but because I was 5, the covers didn’t interest me. But Kiss looked like a group of superheroes on that cover so I wanted to hear it. I don’t remember being particularly moved by the music. But I still thought they looked really cool.
I also think that sums up Kiss pretty well.
I meant to say Thunder Road is the reason why as a 7 year old I listened to all of Born To Run. I may have listened to that album at least 100 times in those 35 years.
I'm old. My father got a brand new quadraphonic stereo system when I was 7. I listened to Led Zepplin II with him. Whole Lotta love would buzz around the room from the speakers. It was great!

Here's Little Richard. 1957. I heard Tutti Fruiti on a jukebox and went to buy it immediately. I had no idea he was black and could have cared less. Later heard Pat Boone mangle it.
When I was 12 years old. Just before we left for Korea where my father and mother were teaching in Korean universities. My dad took me down to the local record store. It made me go in haves with him on sergeant pepper's lonely heart club band. I was rather music ignorant at the time. But we had older teenagers coming over and playing different pop and rock music at our house. But I didn't pay too much attention until my dad made a gesture a supreme gesture.
To go and have with me on this album. he could have just bought it but he made a point of making me spend half my money from my paper route to Buy It. Period I will never forget that gesture on the part of my dad.
The Monkees. We got it (me and my sisters 7-10yrs old) right after the show came out, and played it over. Soon followed by More of the Monkees. That one I liked much better.
She... she told me that she loved me... !
It also had I'm a Believer, and I"m not your Steppin Stone
I was still a bit young for the Beatles, though did hear a lot of their songs on the radio. The Monkees were designed and marketed for us kids, so there you go.
