TOD:
First OCR Cast Album I bought: "Hello, Dolly!" It was the early 1960s and I'd only just begun collecting soundtracks when this Broadway musical lit up the skies and became a smash. I just HAD to have it!
First Female 45 or LP I bought: Oddly enough, I believe the first female LP I bought was "Lainie Kazan". I know "My Name is Barbra" was in the fray, but I think the Kazan album came first.
First 45 was something by Petula Clark.
First Male 45 or LP I bought: I was coming off a "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" (movie and OST) "high" and found "Harve Presnell sings the World's Greatest Love Songs." He did, indeed.
First 45...Maybe "Venus in Blue Jeans" by Bobby Vee.
I had "eclectic" tastes.
And just for fun: The first "Group" LP I ever bought was "Jan and Dean's Greatest Hits".
"Go Granny, Go, Granny, Go, Granny, GO!
