Spring of 1973 I was eight, and one of my older brothers took me shopping at the local Korvette's department store in Huntington, New York. It came down to The Beatles' "Hey Jude" or John Denver's Greatest Hits. I went with The Beatles. As time has gone by, I've come to think of that as a fork in the road, and wondered how differently things might have turned out if I'd bought John Denver.

haha, I guess I should also correct my first purchases were 8 track tapes
we had 45s to listen to because my neighbor got his cousins collection of Beatles, Creedence, Jackson 5 etc. because her parents would not let her have them because it was Satan's music. I think there were like 3-4 of those little 45 holders that were small boxes with the carrying handle on top

First album that was mine:
First album that was mine: Meet the Beatles. Later, walking through Sears with my Mom, I asked if I could have "Sgt. Pepper's". Mom declined, "That's that electric music!" Eventually I got Revolver and '67-'70 (the blue double album) but didn't get Sgt. Pepper's until years later.
First album I bought with my own money: Madman Across the Water. 1971, inspired by hearing Levon on the radio. Good album! Zeppelin IV, Fragile, and DSOTM would come later.
I remember buying a couple Chicago 45s because they were basically two "A sides".

My Dad had a huge record
My Dad had a huge record collection. He used to get those 10 for a penny deals from the TV Guide. After meeting the terms of the deal, he'd cancel and then do it all over again.
Since he ordered all kinds of genres, we had most of the popular albums, including most of the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Beach Boys and lots of "local" stuff like the Dead, Big Brother, JA, Beau Brummels, etc.
He and Mom would pick out some albums from the offer list and then let me and my sibs select some. We had everything from classical, big band, jazz and blues to country, rock, soul and folk.
I think the first time I actually paid for an album with my own dough was probably Sgt. Pepper when it came out. I also remember spending allowance and lawn mowing dough on 45s before that. Mostly novelty tunes like "The Ballad Of Irving" and "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah".
