The Everly Brothers...their first album. It featured Bye Bye Love and Wake Up Little Susie.

I bought it with money I got for my 10th birthday.

I played it on a "record player" that looked something like the one below. It would play 78, 33 1/3, and with an adaptor 45 RPM records.

@MoveAlong i had one of those record players, but i had the deluxe version with the extended pin that you could stack a few albums on, then hold them down with that arm that looked like an F, then that keeper spline thing imbedded in the pin would move to let an album drop to the turntable and you could then drop the needle onto the album to hear that hissing and popping before the music started. When that side of that album was over, flick the lever/knob to drop the next album and hopefully only one album would drop and go again and so on ..
