My parents had quite an extensive collection of 50s and early 60s vinyl LPs that I loved to listen to, look at and watch my Dad put onto the family quite large Magnavox Stereo console as a young kid (I was born in 1958)
First LP I bought with my own money - THE MONKEES - "Meet The Monkees" on Colgems Records, and then "More Of The Monkees" a year later. I have both albums, played them countless times, but as always since I paid for it with my own $$ both LPs are in VG+ condition.
Two 45's I remember clearly I loved seeing play and hearing when they were brand new from being heard on the radio:
*THE BEATLES - "I Feel Fine /BW "She's A Woman" on a Capitol swirl label 45.
*SAM THE SHAM & The Pharoahs -- "Wooly Bully".
Then in late 1967:
*THE HUMAN BEINZ - "Nobody But Me" album on Capitol (black spectrum label) They were a hot local band at the time, HUGE in my hometown back in northeast Ohio as 1968 dawned. '68 I was ten years old but remember it like yesterday, as they were the first true rock band I saw and heard play live. Each instrument being "warmed up" / tested. Saw what electric guitars, electric bass guitar, drums, vocals played LOUD, with bright colored lights shining to the beat onto those guitars and metalflake drum kits / system was all about. Real musicians, long hair, sideburns, dressed in cool 60s era clothes. Saw LIVE music being made, and reconizing that same music I heard on our home stereo and the radio. Hooked and addicted ever since. Still have the album, and it is one of my all-time favorites.
