What was the first album that your mom or dad bought for you?

Question

Somehow, I talked my mom into buying me a well-played but scratch-free copy of the Beatles 1962-1966 album at a garage sale for a buck. Still have it and it plays great.

In high school, a friend of mine got "Highway to Hell" from his grandma for Christmas. True story.

Answer 1

LMFAO

The first albums my Mom UNKNOWINGLY bought me.

I say UNKNOWINGLY because I was seven years old and one day I checked the mail for her and in it was a postcard offer from Columbia House Records and Tapes. It said "Choose any 11 Albums for a penny!" I thought, "well, EVEN I have a PENNY!" So I ordered them. Weeks later, when they arrived in the mail, my Mom had a cow!

The albums were:

Grand Funk Railroad/ Locomotion

AC/DC/ Highway To Hell

KISS/ Alive II

Peter Frampton Comes Alive

AC/DC/ Let There Be Rock

AC/DC/ High Voltage

AC/DC/ If You Want Blood.....

AC/DC/ Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Queen/ The Game

The Rolling Stones/ Some Girls

and last but not least......

Black Sabbath

needless to say, the albums ended up in the dumpster;

I tried to get them out, but I got caught. HA HA HA

Answer 2

Steve, you tripping? Parents buying me what? Anything and everything that I wanted as a kid, be it vinyl or Levi's, had to come out of my own coffers. Looking back on it, I'm still not sure whether they were preparing me for the world or just selfish. At least I was able to attain the music I wanted. My first LP records were "Just Like Us" by Paul Revere and the Raiders, and the first "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits." Most of it was 45's I bought down at the local Walgreen's for next to nothing, compared to today.

Answer 3

If you mean the first one THEY picked out, I would say it was a Sesame Street album...the one with "Rubber Ducky", "People in your Neighborhood" and "ABDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (where Big Bird thinks it's all one really long word...".



If you mean the first one I remember asking for, it was probably John Cougar's AMERICAN FOOL to get "Jack and Diane". Still like Mellencamp a little (and truth be told, it's nice to have a 3 year old so I have an excuse to listen to "Rubber Ducky", too)

Answer 4

Please do not chortle... Aaron's occasion (Come Get It) by potential of Aaron Carter. I had a extensive crush on him whilst i became relatively little. i don't think of that I payed for it thoroughly, my dad could have helped me purchase it. i became relatively youthful, there is not any way i might have had adequate funds to purchase the finished difficulty on my own. the 1st album I ever owned became a Britney Spears one. I gave the two away a protracted time in the past. the 1st vinyl albums i offered with my very own funds have been Rubber Soul by potential of the Beatles, Tommy by potential of the Who, and the doorways' self-titled. I have been given them by surprise.

Answer 5

The Beatles Rubber Soul came out in December of 1965 and I got it for Christmas that year.

The only music they ever bought me was at Christmas times.

Answer 6

I don't remember my parents ever buying me an LP. The first 45 I ever remember having was " Let it Be" by The Beatles. I was maybe in kindergarten at the time. I loved that song.

Answer 7

Never got an LP (to my memory) from my parents, but mom *did* get me a 45' of 'Rubber Duckie". (which was actually a top 40 hit in the early 70s)

Answer 8

That I remember..........A Sesame St cassette with children's songs sung by James, Livingston, and Kate Taylor. This was for Christmas when I got my first cassette player. Gonna date myself here but....It was the kind of cassette recorder that had one speaker and a handle on the end.

I had lots of music around me but it was mostly older albums that we played on the family turn table. We had lots of albums.

I was earning money by 5th grade so ... most of the music I got, I had bought it. IDK if you remember the old tape holders that held 15 tapes but this is what was in mine; mixed tapes I taped from the radio (with my new recorder!) and Bryan Adams, Chicago, Boston, a hand full of Grateful Dead (go to heaven, estimated profit, in the dark), James Taylor, Paul Simon, The Cure, Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Tammy Wynette (yes, Tammy is great!), I think I had a Hall and Oats one too...



Thanks for the musical memories.

Answer 9

My very first album my dad bought me was Disco Duck it had Rick Dees singing Disco duck and fifth of beethoven and captain and tenille, paul mccartney and wings, whoever it was that sang kung-fu fighting etc.... sad part is all those songs were actual radio-played songs at that time. Dang I'm getting old lol

Answer 10

My parents bought me two Chipmunks LP's, "Urban Chipmunk" and "Chipmunk Punk." The first had a lot of that pop-country music that was popular in the late '70's, the other had mostly new wave...The Chipmunks doing "My Sharona" remains one of the most inappropriate things ever recorded.



First album my GRANDMA ever got me was GN'R Lies on cassette, after I asked her for it. She still has no idea what exactly it was that she purchased for me, bless her heart. ;-)

Answer 11

I actually got a double wrapped up under the tree



Kiss Alive and Yes's Close to the Edge. I don't think I came out of my room all weekend..lol listening to those albums.

Answer 12

The first album that my parents bought for me was the album of Ashlee Simpson "Autobiography". That was a long time ago before I started to download songs!

Answer 13

The first album ever bought for me by my parents was a David Cassidy cassette followed by a Wilson Phillips cassette and then third a Mariah Carey Cassette.... I have a pretty good memory. lol.

Answer 16

As a kid, they never bought me any music. I earned my records with babysitting money. Mom did pick up a $2 cd for me recently, my love of Cheap Trick is that legendary.

Answer 17

The first album I was given was a compilation album called Sound Spectacular, one of those K-tel creations. Otherwise, my parents did not buy me albums; they did not like the "new" music!

Answer 18

My Grandma bought my first album ever and it was Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry. Seriously.
