I mostly bought 45's like a lot of kids, but the first LP I bought was Sgt Pepper, the second was Spirit S/T debut and third was Grand Funk On Time.

Yeah! Thanks for the shout out to Spirit! Such a fantastic but grossly underrated band. Not a bad song on any of their first four albums. How many bands can you say that about? They were like Traffic. Could never figure out why those two bands didn't get the acclaim they deserved.
Here's proof that Led Zeppelin loved Spirit, too, but never gave them credit:
