Bought with my own money..I think it would have been 'Focus 2' (aka 'Moving Waves') for £1 in 'Swindon Resales'. Later swopped it for my pal Dunny's horrid acoustic guitar, my first 'axe'.

The Red Album.

I was living in Germany and inherited Grand Funks' Red Album from my brother when he graduated high school and moved back to the states in 1970. Still have it.
The first album I bought was Deep Purple In Rock on a trip to Berlin in '71 or 2. I think it was 10 DM. Still have that one, too.

Hi,

The completely failing to answer the question competition ?

Ha-"World of Blues Power Volume 2"-a 99c compilation in the bargain bin-I only bought it cos it had Lightnin Hopkins on the cover and he played violin on Weasels Ripped my Flesh-which I couldn`t afford,and his playing on Directly From my Heart to You just went straight to my heart and apparently still affects my soloing .
never did find Volume One......

To give him a second chance, maybe I'll start a "Who's the BEST guitarist EVER???" thread in your honor Paulo!

I didn't realize this was a competition, so here is my entry. The first record I bought was Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry. It was a 45 rpm, and it cost .30 cents. It was 1959. I didn't really like the song, but the rest of the guys in the band wanted to learn it.

I was 3 weeks old.
