Aloha Friday - Your First Album/CD?

Aloha Fridays are brought to you by Kailani in beautiful Hawaii at An Island Life where Friday is the day to take it easy while anticipating the coming weekend. Today I'm going to link up, take it easy and ask a question.

I remember my first "record player" when I was in my early teens. I couldn't wait to go out and buy my first LP and when I did, I purchased "Electric Jewels" by April Wine. My second record was "School's Out" by Alice Cooper.

How about you? Do you remember the first LP/CD/Tape you purchased?
