My First 5 Album Covers

Last evening, Barbara Nixon prompted me to think about my the first album I purchased with my own money. Although I can't recall which was first, I'm fairly certain that the record albums below, were the first that I could afford. For the record, I was in 9th grade, and my recollection is that the albums cost around $5.99-$6.99.



Journey: Infinity I just loved the stylized wings/planets/beetles on each of Journey's album covers.






Rush: All the World's a Stage I used to know Neil Peart's side 3 drum solo by heart.







Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin IV I must've worn out the grooves on "Stairway to Heaven"








Styx: Pieces of Eight Even today, songs from this album make me smile.








Queen: News of the World Our campus radio station played songs from this album every lunch period.





So, "What was your first personal music purchase?" Oddly, a more challenging question may be, "What is the most recent album you purchased?"
