The usual kiddie stuff was bought for me, but the first one I wanted that was purchased for me was the Sound Of Music soundtrack. I was fortunate enough that my parents bought me all the books and music I could want until I started working in my early teens.
I bought myself three LPs with one of my first paychecks (probably cost me about $10). I'm fairly certain I recall correctly: Neil Young's Harvest, Fragile by Yes, and Edgar Winter's They Only Come Out At Night.
