What was the first album you ever bought?

[We're the Stripes]

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Total genius.

Which cannot be said for the LP of cover versions of Disney favourites which I may have had bought for me first.

 

[Questions]

Lou Reeds Transformer or Bowies Aladdin Sane........... the memory is not so good nowadays.


Can anyone remember ''Now thats what I call music ''

Certainly do - that's where we all perfected our cushion throwing techniques.

Saw Deep Purple, Floyd and TRex there (not at the same time) didnt the floor used to bounce up and down?

 

[Padders]

All Mod Cons - The Jam

 

[Norman Potting]

"War of The Worlds" by Jeff Wayne and others, 1978, somewhere in Brighton, possibly in the record shop that used to be in Churchill Square and used to sell model kits and stuff upstairs (or did I imagine such a place, someone please enlighten me) and later became HMV I think before it moved further down Western Road. Gosh what a long sentence.

I can't remember, it was too long ago.

 

[Barrow Boy]

Both of these came out in 1967 and the money from my 2 paper rounds payed for them.

The Beatles - Sgt Peppers

The Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Time for your medication doug

 

[The Auditor]

1st clash album and I still play it regularly

Snap
Closely followed by Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bollocks and The stranglers Rattus..all of which I still like to play loud ...when the house is empty !!

 

[DTES]

Eee-Hee!

 

[Fungus]

Slayed Alive - Slade, 72

 

[RexCathedra]

Who's Next. Cost $4.18. I have a good chuckle whenever The Large One posts -- it's his avatar.

 

[Brian Potter]

'79 - purchased both Setting Sons by The Jam and Regatta de Blanc by the Police round about the same time. Probably with my "birthday money"

 

[Gwylan]

Er... Phaedra by Tangerine Dream. I think I realised it was crap pretty quickly and sold it.

What would be the more interesting question is what was the first album that you bought that you still had today.

By 1975, I'd sold pretty much every album I had as I thought that all the bands were awful (Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, ELP, Genesis, said T.Dream etc). I think the oldest record that I still have is either Velvet Underground's Loaded or Led Zep 1 but who knows...

All of them, apart from the ones I made the mistake of lending out and never got back. I have all my vinyl records in the loft, even though I have a record deck, but just can't be arsed to fiddle around with them as an ipod is way more convenient and I have most I still like on there anyway.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I remember not hearing properly for days after that one - btw did you go and join the all night queue for the Rolling Stones tickets immediately afterwards, outside that record shop in Middle Street near "The Cottage"?
The Big Apple was located in the old Regent Ballroom, hence the floor resonance.

Blimey, I've had regular culls, partly for financial reasons, a quick way to get some ready cash; partly for space reasons - particularly when moving gaff but mainly because tastes change. I'd be surrounded by vinyl if I hadn't got rid of loads over the years.

I think I probably had the Smurf Album, but I dont recall buying it for myself...the question is which album did YOU first but with your own dough.

It was with my own dough.

Come to think of it, would have been £5 WH Smith`s voucher at christmas which i invested very wisely.
