Some Influential LPs from My Past

First album I ever heard in stereo in the mid-’50s. Very impressive then and now still.

First album I ever bought (at the height of the Twist dance craze). By Joey Dee and the Starliters live.

First album by The Byrds I heard in the fall of 1967 (1st yr. u) that made me want to buy their Greatest Hits album. “Eight Miles High”, “5D”, and “Mr. Spaceman” really impressed me.

After I saw that The Kinks’ songwriter was ‘R. Davies’ and I’d heard their first three hits: “You Really Got Me,” “All Day and All Night”, and “Tired of Waiting” I was ready to buy this one. The copy shown here is actually a picture disc I also picked up half a century later.

This is an album I sought for many years and bought it in the 2000s when it was rereleased. A blues-jazz classic by the coolest and jazziest of the British Invasion bands.
