being young and broke, and (hanging head in

My first 45s were "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago and "Play That Funky
Music" by Wild Cherry. First album was a "clearance LP" for $.99 and it
was "Mothership Connection" by Parliament/Funkadelic...LOL.

Boy...do we have memories of *those* I "walked out" with a 45 (sheesh,
it could've been an 8-track! LOL) and (don't laugh) it was a 45 of
"Disco Duck"! Just kidding, it was "You Should Be Dancing" by the Bee
Gees :-)
My dad gave me a LOOONG talk after the cops called him. But, the
greatest thing that came out of it was when my dad brought me to the
record store the next day and bought me LOTS of 45s, LPs, and 8-tracks
the next day! LOL :-)
My excuse was that he NEVER bought me any records and tapes so I had to
GET THEM myself! LOL!!!

Boy, talk about falling the proverbial fertlizer and coming out
smelling like a rose!
First album: "Jungle Book" (the Disney movie soundtrack)
First non-Disney/etc album: Sound Explosion (gotta love K-Tel)
First 45: "Saturday Night/Marlena" - Bay City Rollers - 99 cents at Woolco,
my friends & I trudged through a blizzard to buy that song. Turned out, I
liked the flip side better. <G>

As for albums, I really don't remember anything before Saturday Night Fever.

Oh my gosh, Dixon!!! I remember those. That was probably my first record
too. Geez, the things you guys remind me of is sooo cool.
My first "real" 45 was "Will it Go Round in Circles." Rather pathetic story,
which I may have told before here.
It was the only record I owned and I used to carry it down the street to
Sandy's house to play it on her record player, since I didn't have one of my
own. One day, running home from her house, I dropped it and it cracked in
half. My whole collection was now gone. LOL

I also remember the records on the back of cereal boxes! But since we didn't
eat sugared cereals in my house growing up (save for Apple Jacks, go figure),
ours must have come off the Cheerios box. For the life of me don't know what
they were though.
One of the earliest records I remember having (that I didn't buy) was a Disney
record of children's songs from different countries. I think it was titled
"It's a Small World," and that was the U.S. song. I also learned "Funiculi,
Funicula" and "Frere Jacques" among others off that record.

The first record ever given to me was the Beatles 20 Greatest Hits, back in
1982. That year, for Christmas, I got both the vinyl and cassette versions
(from different people, of course). And I still have both of them.
The first album that I ever bought was the cassette version of the Beatles'
'Rock & Roll Music Vol.2' album because I was hard core jonesin' to get my
hands on 'Helter Skelter' and 'Revolution'. Sometime soon after, I bought
my first Beatles vinyls - The White Album; Abbey Road; Revolver (US
version). I almost also bought Meet The Beatles that day, but I ran out of
money... ;>(

My first LP was a Monkees compilation sold through TV. The first one I
bought with my own money was Traffic's Best Of.
My first 45, IIRC, was Loverboy's "Turn Me Loose", which I got for a quarter
at a Junior Achievement convention. I own very few singles, actually,
being more of an LP/CD guy.

But I do remember my first pre-recorded cassette: "Double Fantasy" by John
Lennon and Yoko Ono.

First 45: "Lonely Room (Theme from 'The Apartment')" by Ferrante and
Teicher and "Playground In My Mind" by Clint Holmes on the same day.
I still have them both.
First album: Elton's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" the day it was released.

Golly gee, you didn't mention that you were a low-down thief when you
announced yourself, Ray, tsk, tsk, TSK! Yeah, right, like we didn't all pull
a little five finger discount in our day :-) I know I did, oh the shame! I never
tried with a whole *album*, though, that's gutsy. 8-tracks and singles were
much easier!

And there's no love to be found

Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day
