[Hauser717]

1984 by Van Halen. I wore that tape out, bought it again and wore it down. If CDs wore out, I'd have bought 3 more copies by now.

[1 Bad Merc]

The first album I bought was Permanent Waves by Rush. I believe I was in 7th grade at the time. I remember my aunt giving me a couple of 8-tracks around that time and they were Cheech and Chong -up in smoke, a YES album and the Eagles (Hotel California). I just wore those 8-tracks out by playing them constantly!

[GA-Marauder]

[BruteForce]

Black Sabbath (first album 1970). Ozzie had his name spelled "Ossie Osbourne" on the original version of the album.

[MAD-3R]

I honestly can't remember the fist album I got. I think it mayhave been Twisted Sister "Stay Hungry." (I'm not a big Music-file)

But I do remember the fist CD. It was The soundtrack to "This is Spinal Tap"

[MERCMAN]

Meet The Beatles, got it in March 1964.


Ditto!! I remember hiding it from the folks

[MM03MOK]

James Taylor - Gorilla


Just rememberd...Mort Saul.

Had to hide it, my Dad would have killed me. Must have blocked the experience.My first actual album, I won by being the right caller to a local AM station. Harry Chapin - Short Stories. I had to hide it from the 'Rents until I covered the album cover!

[Blackened300a]

Weird Al Yankovic "In 3-D" I was only 8 yrs old so back off!

[SergntMac]

My first actual album, I won by being the right caller to a local AM station. Harry Chapin - Short Stories. I had to hide it from the 'Rents until I covered the album cover!I have all of Harry's albums, and met him while he was here in Chicago doing his first "unplugged" live broadcast for WTTW, a PBS station. (cops get a lot of escort/security sidejobs from local producers.) This was the first of the MTV style "unplugged" live broadcast concerts, and I believe it started the trend years before MTV.

Of course, Harry was never plugged-in to begin with, and he's quite the story teller. Sniper and Greyhound are my favorites. I often play Greyhound in my head when on the road. "You got me drivin'..." Shame we lost him when we did.

The vinyl I have;
Heads and Tales...1972
Sniper and Other Love Songs...1972
Short Stories...1973 (and the cover is a work of art)
Verties and Balderdash...1974
Portrait Gallery...1975
The Road to Kingdom Come...1976
Livingroom Suite...1978
I have two CDs too.

All of these albums are great keepers, for the artwork and "stuffings". Compact Disc may have brought us better music in a "compact" travel case, but original 33-1/3 album artwork and freebies have never been the same.

Once again, I wish I could do that vinyl to CD thingy...Look up more here?

Now I wish my turntable was working.... :( Thanks, Mac. Can't believe it was 25 years ago that Harry died! I had no recollection that it was such a tragic death.

TEAC GF-350 Turntable CD Recorder & Radio
Description: 3 Speed Turntable / CD Recorder Player / Rotary AM/FM Radio Tuner / 1930 Style Black Woodgrain Cabinet / Remote Control The 1930's were an age of lost innocence with a redefinition of wealth as people struggled to survive the depression and public works projects launched civilization further into the 20th century. The rumbling beginnings that would lead to World War II were beyond the horizon of life in the USA. Music was the thing and swing was king on radio waves and records. Teac GF-350 Nostalgia Stereo System is reminiscent of that period of the 20th century. It also adds a CD Recorder Player (records directly from Turntable phono, or from an auxiliary Input onto CDR CDRW discs). It lets you convert your old phonograph record collection into a modern CD collection. It's the best of both eras.

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk. Played it until the needle could not find a groove any more. The jacket is still in good shape.

[jonroe]

Ditto!! I remember hiding it from the folks

I remember it because in March 1964 my parents went out to buy our first stereo, a big Magnavox console. They got a free record with it, I think the Ray Conniff singers, and asked me to pick out one for me so I picked out The Beatles. I was 9.
