Members Vince Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm even more uncool! The first two records I owned were Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Greatest Hits, and Def Leppard Adrenalize. The first I bought was Queen - The Miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mumford Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 I had a lot of 45s as a kid-- Convoy (I still have a soft spot for CW McCall, he was one of those people my dad and I shared), Dukes of Hazzard theme, Greatest American Hero theme, sensing a "theme?" My mom got me Billy Joel's 52 Street and my sister Olivia Newton John's Physical at some point. Those were our first records that were "ours" and not our parents. But the first ones I bought for myself were the Police's Synchronicity and Men Without Hats (the one with Safety Dance) I got on tape the same day. I still have all that vinyl, but not the tapes. I still love Synchronicity (well, pretty much everything the Police did, really.) But the big album of my childhood was the only rock album my parents owned (they were Folk music people): The Beatles Hey Jude EP. I listened to it so much my mom told me I could go deaf from hearing the same sounds over and over. A lot of those songs remain probably my biggest influence and my favorite of the Beatles material-- Ballad of John and Yoko, Rain, Old Brown Shoe, Lady Madonna, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy on the right of the Air Supply album cover? I grew with his kids in the 70's- we all lived together touring on the road ... Graham Russell - he's like 6'7! Both he and the singer Russel Hitchcock were both in Jesus Christ Superstar with my old man so we were all thick as thieves - Stevie Wright included. {censored}ing awful music though.

Members Bb Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 First music I bought...I was like 8...KISS Alive on 8-track!!!!!! First record player I got for x-mas a few years later in 1978~79 and it came with LPs: Van Halen 1, Jefferson Starship's freedom from point Zero, Greatful Dead's Go to Heaven, Zep II, Jethro Tull's Aqualung, and Yes (w/roundabout). Never purchased a 45 (single). I was always into albums. Product of the 70s/80s. Still have those origionals today on LP. I'm feeling like dusting off the old record player and spinning a few. I went to CDs pretty quickly but still collected records (when they were cheap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachary vex Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 Elton John's Greatest Hits. i was immediately disappointed that the mastering didn't have the same punch and clarity as the originals i'd heard on the radio. that was my first lesson in record production.

Members Roy Brooks Posted June 8, 2006 Members Share Posted June 8, 2006 I still buy records on vinyl. I go to used record stores- Wax & Facts in Atlanta is a favorite. And I go to flea markets. Mostly I look for jazz and old school country. Got alot of Webb Pierce last time I went record shopping. I have around 5000 records in all.
