That's funny because Elton's Greatest Hits with the piano & white suit was the first album I bought.

I used to have a list, in order, of all the dates I bought my records & CDs, which is how I was able to look up the first ones (I'm coming up to the 30th anniversary of buying the HC album on February 3, 1977). So I could go back & tell you what I bought, when. I won't.

I look at the list for 1987 and see that I bought a lot of CDs including a lot of classical stuff. All the Beatles CDs were released that year so that's when I bought those.
