If aliens stole all your records, which is the first you'd buy in rebuilding your collection?

in Other Music
Aliens from outer space with an unquenchable penchant for music have landed near your home and have stolen all of your albums.  This week, you only have enough money to buy one record (single or double album, but no box sets) to start re-building your collection.  Which one are you going to buy?

For me- no question- it would be this one:

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    If all my records went away I'd try hard to kick habit. But...
    Would have to be this one..
    great variety of lesser heard songs.
    Plus I remember picking it up in the hallway of my Catholic grammar school flea market. Mines a promo cut out copy, worth a buck or two, but pretty priceless to me.
    Also grabbed this one there too:
    a bunch of interviews but grabbed my young rock and roller attention. 
    Maybe I'll spin these tonight...
    BEFORE THE ALIENS COME!!!

    If aliens finally arrive, and steal our records, I think we'd have bigger fish to fry at that moment!

    LOL, it's my habit to set up a hypothetical scenario such as this as "if aliens took this or that away", as opposed to other, more conceivable or potential occurrences, heaven forbid!  I won't even mention them!

    In honor of our new alien overlords, my first purchase would be The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

    Led Zeppelin II was my first record, the first time around.   It costs me 25 cents as vinyl wasn't popular at the time.   If I had to rebuild, I start over right where I did the first time around.
