[EP4MEUK]

I remember this so well it was the double sleeve pink Elvis album way back in the late 70's...I still have it although it is not in very good condition as I played it all the time :)and my mum bought me the spanish import of Moody Blue from her trip to spain along with Elvis the Gospel album I have them all still and would never part with them.

My mum also had "Dont be Cruel" on acetate and I took it from her room and decided to see what would happen if I hit it on my head ..I was very young at the time...and guess what is broke into four big pieces :'(I hide it under the floor boards for weeks untill she came looking for its whereabouts :supriced: then I came clean and I can still feel the sting from that smack I got on my legs even now :lmfao:

My first album was "Elvis is Back" got it in 1961. The first single I bought was Good Luck Charm.

[CRITTERGITTER]

I'm not sure. I found him and I bought everything I could afford. I do remember fighting with my Mom because the Aloha album cost too much and she wasn't paying for it. That was the first of many fights about ELvis.

THE EP MOM AND DAD GO WAS 'LOVE ME TENDER', JAILHOUSE ROCK' AND THE 45'S WERE 'GOOD LUCK CHARM' AND 'THAT'S ALL RIGHT, MAMMA' (NOT SUN).

I almost had the same thing happen but my mom, God bless her, relented and somehow found the money.

[SeeSeeRider777]

Elvis Number One Hits when I was like 5.

[laura]

it was elvis golden record volume one on RCA Victor 461 037 ( i still have it ! ), back in 77, probably 2 weeks or so after his death. I was 7. I still see where it was stored in the shop nearby a staircase. My parents didn't like elvis at all. They were pretty upset about my purchase because they had to pay of course !

2 weeks later i wanted "flaming star" on camden, but they didn't want me to buy it at all and i had to wait till my birthday,on october to finally get it ! My 3d one was for Xmas and it was " let's be friends".Camden album too. I used to pick up records according to the quality of their sleeves, back then, since i didn't know about the songs at all ! The only elvis song i heard frequently on radio was "way down", but i taped it on my recorder and never bought the 45, it would have been way too much for my parents health ! lol

[Dorulet]

My first record was a casette, it was some kind of a "Best Of", and it didn't have any company written on it. Then, the second one was another casette, Elvis' Golden Records vol 3, and the 3rd album i had was The Very Best Of The King double CD from BMG.

[polksaladhasie]

My first cassette i got from Elvis was ... a green plastic back and... i don?t remember the Name.. Burning Love?

I listened to it day by day...i was eight years old...

[stefankoch]

68` Comeback special and on 45 Don`t be cruel / Hound dog (y)

[Leroy]

First I bought a 45 rpm. It was "Hurt"/"For the Heart" with a picture on the sleeve from the '68 Comeback Show. That was in the summer of 1976.

In the fall of that same year I bought my first album on casette. This was "You Never Walk Alone". It was the only Elvis thing the store had.

[Burning_Love]

Well because i only became a fan in 2005, my first was the Elvis Hit-story and i was very impressed because it had some songs i had never heard of before.
My collection has grew by day and now it's HUGE ! And still...more to come...(y):clap:

[Rising Sun]

The first Elvis CD I bought was a double CD "The 50 greatest Hits". I didn't know many songs of Elvis before I bought this CD, I had heard another singer sing Elvis songs on a CD of my parents, my mother told me that they were all originally sung by Elvis and so I wanted to hear more from Elvis... that's why I went buying a CD of him :D

[Memory]

My first record was Elvis forever,double record.I was very proud(y),15 years old.

[bogarcon]

way back in 1970, (I was 13 years old)..the Candem LP ``LET'S BE FRIENDS`` at the local store (general strore) for $1.99...I still have the first copy with me and mint still sealewd copy..and the second one was another Candem..Almost In Love.
Soon after, I won the double LP (In Person/Back In Memphis)..and that was it. It was started for life..

getting ready for Memphis 2007

[goodelvisgirl]

waw i don't remember i can remember the first elvis song i heard was indescribably blue at 12 years old in my uncles house but the first cd i dont remember i think it was either moody blue or promised land i have so many its becoming harder to remember which ones i have

[Diana]

To begin with I like hard music and once I saw an Oprah's show with L.M.Presley. The next day I said to my classmate that Lisa is so cool and her father is a "dad of rnr".. In a week or too I had a birthday anjd she presented me a dvd with elvis' 1968 comeback... That is one of the most wonderful and important days of my life... That was ahuge surprise and the meaning of it I've understood only after playing it...
Thanks for asking(y)

[TurnpikeTaylor]

First single was "Such A Night"/"Never Ending" in 1969 when i was 8 years old, first album was "I got Lucky" a couple of years later, along with "Jailhouse Rock" as my first EP.

[nashville cat]

The first album I remeber listening to was my mother's copy of Moody Blue. "Way Down" is the song I remember playing. Also listened to her copy of Promised Land on 8-track. :lol:

A couple of cheapie greatest hits on cassette were next, but the first proper album I remember buying for myself was As Recorded at Madison Square Garden.

Some of my most vivid memories are of listening to his music for the first time. Thanks, Elvis. (y)

[poormansgold76]

my first Album was A Legerdary Performer, Volume Two in 1976 it took me 3 more years get volume 3, after that I buy ELVIS the 1968 comeback LP the frist Tape was He walks beside me, still have that.

[waymore44]

My first album was the box set from Candelite Music called "The Elvis Presley Story". It was a great introduction. The first album I heard was the TV album "Elvis" from Brookville Records. My grandmother owned it and played it for me all the time. Then I got "GI Blues" for Christmas and my record collection was off and running.

That was 1977. It's hard to believe I've been a fan for almost 30yrs!!!

[jatta-tcb]

this is an easy question for me.. because I bought my first Elvis CDs in April 2007 :D I bought 3 CDs on same day.. and they were: Burning love, I'm 10 000 years old -Elvis Country and Elvis Inspirational.. :)

since then I have bought ca. 30 Elvis CDs :huh:

[JDD]

My first that I bought myself was the Promised Land album , but I had a few before that , that were gifted to me .

[Merry]

First Album, I was little, Mum bought "Blue Hawaii" which was for a special family occasion. A pivotal occasion.

Lovely memories, dancing with my cousins, we were all excited, danced to the whole album, several times, a wonderful night. The moment stood out! lol

I kinda decided the album was mine, lol (although Mum still has it grrrrrrr, lol).

I only had three albums, Elvis' was one of them.

:hug:

First Elvis records I ever had were Moody Blue, Christmas Album and Les 40 plus grands succ?s. Got 'em a few months after Elvis died.
Later on I bought many LPs but sadly since I was young I used to cut the pictures on the covers and hang them on my wall so I ended up having many LPs without any covers.:blush:

[DazGreg]

Artist Of The Century.

[Joe Car]

My first record was the On Stage album in 1970, they were playing it at our local Woolworth's store, and I loved it, I was 11 years old at the time. Next I purchased Elvis From Memphis, not a bad way to start a collection with these two brilliant lp's! It took me about 6 months before I learned that Elvis had been around since 1955, I thought he had just come on the scene in 1968.

[SweetCaroline]

Gee, too long ago to remember the exact year. I had to be in about the 4th or 5th grade...in the 50's. First album was Elvis' first album....the one with ELVIS PRESLEY name in pink and green. Played on a kids record player over and over and over. No wonder my parents were ready to choke both Elvis and me. :lol:

Gawd..........I just went back and read everyone's replies......suddenly I am feeling like I was born 10,000 years ago. LOL :)

[RS277]

My first was Aloha From Hawaii and Madison Square Garden. I became a fan while listening to Elvis' How great thou art album and the 45 Its only love which both belonged to my aunt. Some of my warmest childhood memories. Elvis would be amazed with the ages of some of his new fans.

[orwell1976]

My first record was a three record box called "The Best Of Elvis Presley" and was released in Germany by a label called "World Trade". The records contained only songs from 1954-1957 and the same label released a lot of albums that contained the same few songs. But anyway, my favorites where "All Shook Up" and "Too Much" (these are still two of my favorite songs by the way) and I played them over and over. The sound quality was pretty bad and even the quality of the vinyl was poor, but at the time (I was just eight years old) it was fine to me and it was the beginning of my collection. So: Praise to World Trade Records!

[retroprincess]

I stole my first Elvis record. I was about 9. It was the 'Now or Never'/'Make Me Know It' 45, and it belonged to my mum. I found it in her record collection, played it and couldn't get enough, so decided I was going to keep it! LOL!!!

I still have it!!!
