Do you remember the first record or album you bought?
Do you still have it as well?

My first two - I forget in which order - were Led Zeppelin Two, and Family's Family Entertainment.
Yes, I still have them, among a collection that was never large, but I have still not even unpacked the record-player I bought, oh, I think at least fifteen years ago now!
The record-player is one from which copies (of dubious legality) to a USB memory device can be made and I had had the idea of doing that when MP3 players were around (are they still?) so I could listen in the car.

@ArtieKat I,with a circle of friends who used to meet regularly and all enjoyed Progressive Rock, saw several bands around that time, 1970-72 I suppose.
These included Family, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Van der Graaf Generator.
I have just looked up the last of those bands, on Wikipedia, and its says this:
Aha! It was one of those gigs, in Bournemouth, that I saw them. It does seem an unlikely combination of bands, now, but everyone enjoyed it. Lindisfarne finished their set with Fog on the Tyne, and waved Van de Graaf on stage from where they had been watching from only just in the wings, to join in the choruses.
Same line-up on the only LP I have of theirs, The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other (1971). They did like snappy album titles...
.......
All reminds me of a cartoon I once saw. It depicted a radio DJ telling his listeners, "That was Led Zeppelin, and guess what, kids, they all played their own instruments!"

The Hammill/Banton/Jackson/Evans quartet that resulted from H to He, Who Am the Only One is now considered the "classic" line-up. The group played on the 'Six Bob Tour'[a] in early 1971 with fellow Charisma labelmates Genesis and Lindisfarne.
