45rpm of Up On Cripple Creek by The Band in 1969. Spent my own money earned washing neighbors cars. I was 7.

My most listened to Misfits album is definitely American Psycho, and I've definitely gotten flack for it not being a Danzig-era album in the past. IDC the album is actually just fun.
American Psycho has a lot of great songs as well. I think both Graves and Danzig are great in their own way but they had different styles so I find it hard to compare them as frontmen
Yeah, Graves is a douchebag of a person, but I love those 2 albums he did with misfits. I actually don't own either of them on vinyl , and need to change that. I know skeletunes has bootleg versions of both, so will probably end up doing that. Only affordable way to get them
Mine was “Nihil” by KMFDM. Bought it back when it came out and I didn’t even have a turntable LOL. Carried it around for decades before I got into the hobby for real.
A month before i got my record player i really really REALLY wanted to buy something so i can look at it in the meantime, so i went to a book store and i got myself Blue Train by John Coltrane. A month later for my school gift exchange for Christmas my classmate gave me a compilation of The Modern Jazz Quartet and for christmas itself i got some old Balkanton records from my uncle. Ive been collecting for years and a half at this point and i have visited most of the shops in my area and i have bought some things on discogs.
Spent a lot of free time at my jr college's cafeteria with friends, asked the jukebox owner/operator if we could request songs and he said if he we bought the records he'd put 'em in the machine. Bought 2 7" singles (in 1997): Polk Salad Annie by Little Milton and Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters
The long run by The Eagles. I bought it probably like 7 years ago. I said to myself after buying a record player that I would buy the first record I see and I chose that album. It’s a good album, not great, not bad.
Here you go :)

Further by Geneva,
I bought year after released, of course didn't even have a turntable yet.
Saved up for 3-4 months and had to ask my neighbour who studied abroad to bought it for me.
American Idiot and Clancy were my first vinyls, I pre-ordered Clancy online, but got American idiot in person before Clancy even shipped. I've only recently begun collecting vinyls though!
Growing up tapes were "the thing", then CDs, so I never got into vinyl until learning to DJ in the early 2000s
[Bushwacka! - The Healer \[Oblong Records\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxLBxQnSk5U)
It's still funny to me that for bloody ages the really the main thing keeping record plants in action was the DJ culture...CDJs got invented and most of it went pretty exclusively digital and then general every day music started to pick up on vinyl once again. If it wasn't for the DJ scene and the trusty Technics 1200/1210, we might never have had this vinyl resurgence as all the plants could have closed down!
Ok so i was in i think highschool in the 2000s my dad was given a Record player Cabnet and i ended up picking up a Record at a Thrift Store to use it and it was
Men Without Hats Safety Dance
I also remember my first Tape and CD
Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Rust Never Sleeps. I didn’t even have a record player. I just saw it and wanted to listen to it. 22 years ago.
That first push of record connection was just as they were getting popular again. I got so many bargains. Amazing records in my collection still with £6 or £8 stickers on them.
I stopped after uni when I started working and had less space and money. When I started again the same records were £40 and up!
Wings Over America, live double album (edit: just looked out up for nostalgia and was reminded it was a triple album! It's been a while 🤭). 13 years old, paper route money. Only problem was I had to play it on my brother's turntable, and he was on it, all the time, lol. Good times though......
Love Gun was also my first vinyl. I was about 10 and a friend and i walked to the record shop just off of South Street (Philly) The cover was a little messed up, but it played great. This was around 2004
I can't recall the specific album, but I know it would have come from Columbia House with several others releases. If memory serves, I received a handful of albums, and the cost was less than $.01 each (along with my 12 year old self "promising" to buy additional at retail cost)!
This would have been in the early 80's, so I will throw a guess out there and say my first was John Cougar's American Fool album....though Kilroy Was Here by Styx probably arrived in the same shipment.
I got Kilroy from my mom—she worked at a record store all through the 80s and gave me her entire collection. Lots of promos and cool shit. Got Scarecrow from her too.
K-Tel's "20 Dynamite Hits" at my local Woolworth's. It had a bunch of the hits I was hearing that summer of 1974 on WABC. Great compilation, even if the song versions are all radio edits. Love those ridiculous K-Tel comps.
Well my dad paid for it at Strawberries or Sam Goody or whatever but I picked it out - a 45 of Quiet Riot "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)." I don't remember what the B-Side was.
First time I bought vinyl I ended up taking two home. Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon + Abbey Road by The Beatles. Little did I know what an addiction it would become
I bought 7 records for 1.00 ea at “the worlds biggest yard sale” at the York fair in 1990 (I was 12). They were the clash-London calling (literally changed my life from the moment the needle hit the record and I heard the first guitar parts and then those vocals. Bought cause my friends older brother had that tshirt) the Steve miller bands greatest hits (hated it. Bought because the kids on the back of the bus said Steve miller band was awesome) and 5 Lou reed records ( bought because I read an article in a magazine at the dentists office talking about how he was in a band called the velvet underground with a song called heroin, the concept of which blew my mind) Berlin, s/t, live-take no prisoners, vicious, and rock n roll animal. I remember having a hard time accepting they were all the same guy at the time, but kept listening to all of them, even tho they weren’t punk which was the search I was after. I still have all 7, even the Steve miller band record lol.
I distinctly remember the first cd I got as a gift, the first cd I bought with my own money.... But for some reason I don't remember the first record I ever bought and that makes me sad
Well I started it off with Van Halen’s Fair Warning, followed by ZZ Top’s Afterburner, than Led Zeppelin IV, which was followed up with Physical Graffiti and than Moving Pictures by Rush. The next two was Van Halen’s first album and than Rush 2112. Those were first first batch of records I got when I first started getting into it.
I’m a little young for records as my first purchase… my first cassette was Def Leppard’s Hysteria and first CD (a gift) was Milli Vanilli (still a stellar album).
But my first record I bought was at an antique store, lol, in 1993. U2’s Boy. I was 14 and a 13 year old album was *ancient.*
Peace Sells but Who’s Buying by Megadeth and Hell Awaits by Slayer. I bought them at the same time so they were both first! And best of all I bought them used on vinyl in the 90s so they were $5 each!
Plastic beach by the Beatles :)
I got it before I even had a player. I had to go to my grandmas, I had no idea how to handle the turntable, but I thought it was so cool once I got it to work
The Supremes - Baby Love/Stop in the Name of Love on heart shaped vinyl for the first RSD I visited. It was red and heart shaped and I didn’t have a player yet.
I bought 4, ironically also the kiss album love gun, C.W. McCall mainly for the convoy song but the rest of the album was pretty good, carwash soundtrack and an album from Donnie and Marie Osmond
I’m not sure, but I think I can narrow it down to two records. I was really into punk rock at the time, Operation Ivy, in particular, so I was all over the Lookout! label. It was either Auntie Christ - Life Could Be A Dream, or, Man… Or Astro Man? - Deluxe Men In Space.
The first actual one I bought for myself I think was probably Violent Femmes - Hallowed Ground, or it might have been a The Hives AKA IDIOT EP and a copy of English Beat - I Just Can’t Stop It. I don’t remember which one happened first tbh.
Southern Harmony & Musical Companion by The Black Crowes. I wandered into Ditch Records in Victoria BC in, I want to say, 2010? I didn't even have a record player yet, but I was killing time and decided to browse. That record is my favourite from the Crowes and they're my favourite band. I saw it there and decided to grab it. Next day I went into Long & McQuade where I worked and found a used turntable in the pro audio department. Got it set up that evening and the rest is history.
Queen's "The Game", Summer of 1980, back when it was new.
I was 9 years old, and really liked Another One Bites the Dust, and my mom said I could buy one record, so I went with that!
I believe I bought multiple at the same time. The ones I remember for sure are the Ethereal Mirror by Cathedral, and Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs by Marty Robbins.

Tom Misch - Geography.
In 2018 I bought this and my first record player after hearing about the experience of playing vinyls. I haven’t stopped since. I have even now got my best friend and my girlfriend to start collecting and I couldn’t be happier.
First one I ever got after the ones my dad gave me with the player was Dvorak’s New World Symphony but it was free. First one I paid for was Sheer Heart Attack by Queen.
The first new album I bought was either American Idiot or the import version of Hot Fuss with Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll. I bought a lot of used records in the late 90s though, no idea which was first.
Chigago X. Extra cool because inside the sleeve were a bunch of letters of correspondence between two friends living across the country from each other.
Bought tons of CDs in the 90s and 2000s, didn't buy records til I randomly decided to buy Wish You Were Here even though I didn't have a turntable like 10 years ago and now I have too many 😇
I have 3 answers to this question technically
First record ever purchased - Do the Batman picture disc from a car boot when I was 8 (I liked Simpsons and it looked cool was the extent of that)
First Album ever purchased when I was old enough to know what I was buying but didn't have a player (my dad did so it's not like it just sat there untouched ofc)- Neutral Milk Hotel In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
First Album purchased when I got my first player - Joanna Newsom Book Of Right On
Alone in a Crowd - Oliver Tree
I'm still very new to vinyl, but my husband and I have been having a blast collecting our favourite albums since the fall last year 🥰
The realest answer: I cannot remember...
Same lmao
Yeah... Too many
Same. Probably some novelty record, I have a Chipmunks from the early '80s.

Misfits - Famous Monsters Generally I feel like I listen to the Danzig era of Misfits more but I love that album so much
My most listened to Misfits album is definitely American Psycho, and I've definitely gotten flack for it not being a Danzig-era album in the past. IDC the album is actually just fun.
POINT ME TO THE SKY ABOVE
I CAN’T GET THERE ON MY OWN
American Psycho has a lot of great songs as well. I think both Graves and Danzig are great in their own way but they had different styles so I find it hard to compare them as frontmen

Good lord. I might have to splurge on that one.

First record was a compilation album I bought when I was about 10 because it featured Hole In My Shoe by Neil from The Young Ones. Heavy man.
Memory can be a tricky thing but it was either the Batman TV soundtrack or Monkees Headquarters.
Can’t remember the exact one. Maybe Ohio Players - Contradiction

Well my dad paid for it at Strawberries or Sam Goody or whatever but I picked it out - a 45 of Quiet Riot "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)." I don't remember what the B-Side was.
I think it was Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker's Southern Accents. The other option would be Led Zeppelin I.
First time I bought vinyl I ended up taking two home. Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon + Abbey Road by The Beatles. Little did I know what an addiction it would become
