YOUR FIRST ALBUM

[Clockworkmike]

First album i ever bought was actually two: Jimi Hendrix The Ultimate Experience and Ozzy Osbourne Ozzmosis. Set me on a path lol

First vinyl LP:



Bought it from an open-air flea market for the equivalent of like 40 cents when I was 5 years old I think because the cover looked cool to me. Still does, never really listened to the album though, maybe I should.

On tape I mostly had compilations and self-recorded tapes. This is one of the exceptions, found it in a discount bin and bought it because, again, the cover looked cool. It definitely expanded my musical horizons at the time (maybe I was 7 by then?) and still does:



First album on CD was this I think:

 

[SkyMonkey]

I also recall the phrase, " Don't Worry, Nothing Will Be OK" etched into the run-off groove of the album.

I remember those too.
On the gatefold album 'Still', released after Joy Division's singer Ian Curtis died, side A had 'The Chicken Won't Stop'.
B & C had chicken claw prints.
And side D had 'The Chicken Stops Here'.
I think it was a reference to the headless chicken thing, where they keep going for a while after the head is cut off, i.e. Joy Division's lead singer was dead.
The remaining members went on to form New Order and my first real music album was their 2nd LP (post #160).

My first album spend was the first Foreigner LP... Long, Long Way From Home, then Crime of the Century.

 

[Headache]

I've still got it too!

 

[Ramo]

I can't remember, probably one of Metallica's album on cassette. I'm Metallica fanboy....

We wore the cassette out in 1983, learning the songs which we played at Monache High School assemblies before graduation in June, 1983.

 

[Ghostman]

I can't count the 150 Columbia House cassettes because, let's face it. No one paid for those cassettes.

I'd have to say: No Quarter - Page and Plant

My older brother was always down in the basement listening to music and I would hang around down there with him and listen to whatever he was playing.
And then I heard this and had to have it for my own.

Been a lifelong fan ever since.

That's what happened to me with this....

It's funny the influence older siblings can have on us without even trying!

I have a brother that is 6 years older than me. We watched the Beatles live on Ed Sullivan on a black and white TV.

Same here but that was the 3’rd
Black Sabbath album I bought first was Paranoid 72, then I found Master of Reality then their first one, the record stores where a constant gold seeking affair so to speak !
but I managed to find them all till I had to wait for the new ones to come out after Vol 4.
Plus all the other music I desired.
I was able to finance my music with a paper route that made me aprox $40.00 a month

Me Too!!

Same here at a friends house !!
Cheers

My Hondo ll LP was funded by my job doing Van Conversions
In the later part of the 70’s 76-77
If any of you remember seeing a black mid 60’s econoline with the name Bad Company on it?
The owner of it was a guy named Rick Skeleton and he was the shop foreman in San Dimas CA
And that was where I worked.
His van was in a couple of magazines back then when vans were cool, mine was corvette yellow and said. Paranoid on it lol

I don’t have any good pics, but this was my Ford Econoline van in 1973. It was a basket case when I bought it. Working at a gas station paid for all the mods.
