First record I bought was a 78 RPM of Slim Whitman's Indian Love Call (I was young, it was around 1955 and I didn't know any better). The 2nd was a 78 RPM of either Elvis Presley's All Shook Up or Little Richard's Ready Teddy or Rip It Up, can't remember the order but I know I played them until the grooves turned grey. And then 45s arrived and after that its just a blur.
