ELO - Out of the Blue - was the first LP I ever bought.
And at about the same time my lovely Mum bought Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell - for me, after I told her how much I wanted it, and described the cover to her - she went and bought it as a surprise for me - bless her!

Last week we had to explain to our 17 y/o son what an LP was.

First was some superb Jazz from a very young Quincy Jones Quincy Plays For Pussycats
(my photo posted on Az in 2006 because they had the wrong one and then used by them a year later)
Closely followed by the first Rolling Stones LP
and an early Shadows LP
Purchases made not when they came out but when I had sold enough photos to afford an LP.

Ditto, well it was my wife’s but the first we had together.
Along with others we were offered a large amount of money (well it was to us a few years ago) to part with them.
Regretfully, I sold all my vinyl and replaced most with CDs - which I still have. I also remember my first single which was Hold Your Head Up by Argent, but that’s not answering the exam question set.
