First Vinyl Record

Prompt: Today is National Vinyl Day. What was your first vinyl record?

A 33 Album of Meet The Beatles. I was nine years and I first found out what music was. My mother told me The Beatles were a musical group. I saw them on The Ed Sullivan Show and I was in love! I loved their music. I told Mom I want their record and she bought me their first album. That nice vinyl record that you play on a record player or a Stereo. I would play it over and over again. I was over the moon! Each new 45 record The Beatles made, I would buy them. My father would ask me how many d--- times I was going to play that record! When it was new, I played it a hundred times a week. Guess I know why Dad wasn't pleased. I spent my allowance money on Barbie stuff and Beatle records. My parents bought me my own record player. I later bought other records and three more Beatles albums. I got a Beatles wallet, book and Beatles Notebook that I carried to school. My girlfriends and I would pretend to be The Beatles or sometimes pretend that we married them. I married "George Harrison." I still have most of my vinyl albums. CD's are easier to store. I never could figure out how they got those songs on those albums and 45's. Those records hold a lot of good memories. I have a picture of The Fab Four on a shelf. I look at them every day.
