What are some of the first records or CDs of music you bought?

This dates me: Jim Croce's Greatest Hits, James Taylor's Greatest Hits, The Carpenter's Greatest Hits, and then various John Denver albums.

My very first shellac record? Just some silly kid music a six-year-old wasted money on that was given to her, back in 1936.

Nah, I might have been no older than that (the details of the memory are long faded and confused), and this might have been one of the songs, but it wasn't the original release on a 78 rpm or whatever. (No picture of Dora Gray hidden in the closet.)

That's hilarious!--though a little creepy in a surreal sort of way. Where do you find these things?

Summer in the City by The Loving Spoonfull

A schoolfriend offered to shoplift it for me.

We used to go into record shops ,ask the shopkeeper or salesperson to put on a record and maybe go into a booth to listen through headphones (maybe sharing them)

Think that was where he stole it from,actually.

If it was the same guy I heard he was attacked in the street while carrying some LPs under his arm(they probably thought he was a mod or something along those lines.Maybe just the school uniform made him a target)
