         I'm with you, saddledrider - I think mine was probably one of the Tijuana Brass albums.

      Believe it or not, I have absolutely no recollection of what the first record I ever bought was. I cannot even tell you what the first tape(music) was either or even what was my first "cd" that I bought.
      
      One reason, not worth remembering. It's irrelevant in the scope of the rest of my life. Therefore, discarded to add space for more relevant stuff in need of remembering.
      
      Cool question though for those who can remember. I'll leave it at that.

      With my first babysitting pay @50 cents an hour I bought Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton. Cost me a whole dollar. 
      Bought a hamburger for 30 cents and a cola for 15 cents at the drugstore  teen hangout.

   Mine was a single, bought with my pocket money: 'Sailing' by Rod Stewart. I played it on repeat for weeks and weeks until it was worn out.

      The original of Sailing by the Sutherland Brothers was actually far better IMO though I enjoyed Rod's version too.

         Yes, I'd forgotten about the Sutherland Brother's original version. Maybe I prefer Rod Stewart's version for sentimental reasons ... it was a particularly nice time in my childhood. Not that I ever listen to it nowadays ...

                           I wrote a hub about a band that I had never heard of until my friend took me to one of their concerts here in clearwater. maybe you know this song. I fell in LOVE with this music, it is so romantic and I couldn't stop smiling the entire weekend after I saw them.
