@PixelPopper There is this thread which was started in 2019
Age Poll - How old are you, really? in which I have just updated my age
My first purchase around age 10…
YAZ was also another artist
Hah! That was actually my 2nd album… bought as a gift from my parents, after I received “The Chipmunks Sing The Beatles” from them at age 5. The Partridge Family TV show was a weekly watch with my family. Innocent times.
I’m not sure if it was my first album, but below certainly was one of the first 5 or so - I remember it was a birthday present from my parents. I clearly remembering asking for a Blood Sweet and Tears album, but somehow wound up with the Partridge Family?
I am not sure about the Blood/Sweat part, but the Partridge Family album could definitely provide the Tears
I am 62 and my 58 year old sister made the entire family all be silent while we watched the Sonny & Cher Show so she could record it on her portable mono cassette deck. Thanks for the memories
Same! WHSmith in Bournemouth, I think quite a cool first record for musical cred purposes but don’t tell people it was a close run thing between that and shakin Steven’s album. Clincher probably the tiger pup in the inner gatefold. Shakey didn’t have no tiger cub.

I was young as the record shop guy at the till said “are you sure?” I replied “yes, Have heard it played by a friends Dad many time!”
My sister was nuts about David.
My first album, birthday present in 1969:
I got my first album from my youngest uncle (only 6 years older) - he split with his current crush and didn’t like the album she once gave him.
I liked it, and it was a good start of my collection!
Pink Floyd, Obscured by Clouds.
What can I say, I was in first grade. It was a Christmas present.
Yes, I did play the hell out of it on my fold down record player,
I was nuts about Susan Day.
Haha! Susan Dey gave me a stiffy back in the day!
Everything gave me a stiffy back in the day.
