It would have been some version of this. I had many of his albums!

Probably  " Meet the Beatles "      We must have a lot of Baby Boomers on this site .

This was my first album i received for my 12th Birthday.Still listening to AC/DC 38 yrs later.

My first buy was an 8 track for my "69 Super Beetle....

Conniff Meets Butterfield (1959) was one of my first (Ray Conniff). Others were by Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, Pat Boone, Ricky Nelson, etc.

Yep...my era too...I had all of those including Ray Conniff Singers (many do not remember them)....aahhhh...memories. :)

On one Christmas morning long ago I got my very first stereo and with it came two albums that my parents had my older sister pick out for me. Led Zeppelin (stairway to heaven) and the Doobie brothers.

10cc the original soundtrack

Jackson Browne, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac (I had an older sibling who already had the Stones, Beatles, etc)

The first album i bought myself with my first pay packet cost 15 shillings was Summer Days and Summer Nights by the Beach Boys, which i still have along with the rest of the Albums. --- had a lot of Beatles 45's before that but my mother bought them all for me, she loved Ringo.

I think Fleetwood Mac ... Not sure. After my first album, I caught on fire and bought a bunch. 

It was probably the first Kiss album or possibly the Edgar Winter Group's They Only Come Out At Night.  I loved Frankenstein!
