The very first album I bought brand new at a record store was Foghat's Boogie Motel.
I had a number of other records and 8-Track tapes but they were all second hand up to that point. I had Foghat Live on 8-Track which prompted me to buy Boogie Motel with my allowance.

I want to say Shades of Deep Purple. Records I owned included:

Yes-Relayer (an absolute fave)
Best of Grateful Dead
CSNY Best of
Several Talking Heads albums
Meat Loaf- Bat Out of Hell
Frampton Comes Alive (my brother in law said if you were young in America in 1978 they mailed it to you)


My parents actually had an amazing record collection, so I didn't have to buy many. Beatles, Creedence Clearwater, Joan Baez, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Procol Harum, The Band, Led Zeppelin, Concert for Bangladesh, Stevie Wonder (Songs in the Key of Life), The Moody Blues; plus some show tunes, classical and folk, even some hardcore Funk...

I'm a young'un and a technophile, so I Napstered my way through my musical tastes as an adolescent. :p

Though pretty sure I bought every Pink Floyd CeeDee I could afford when I was 16? DSotM, Meddle, WYWH, and The Wall.

I no longer have the Beatles' album.

Heh...you ever hear "Music from The Elder?"...opera pomp and orchestra. Maybe YOU influenced THEM!...[though I'm sure you are much better than anything on that album.]
