First album you brought..vinyl or CD

Topic over in longboards piqued my interest & i gotta get a new needle for the vinyl...so.
What was yours add a story as to why if you can.
Mine was either Led Zeppelin 1 or Blind Faith. The Zep 1 was after a mate & I came back from a surf way back (68/69)then & we called into a guys place the mate knew. Family was/is worth a ****e load, we go upstairs here's this long haired, we all had it then, guy sitting in the bath tub doing a joint & listening to this unreal fken music on a plastic stereo in the bathroom. Music just blew me away, nothing like it around. How did he get it/.. turns out his old man said when I'M overseas what do you want , he says top 10 albums from wherever your are. Mine & music world havn't been the same since.

Love how the 30 something tries to sound young and hip

Im sure there will be many here too embarrassed that grew up in the early 80's to admit their first was Michael Jacksons Thriller lol

Cassette. Don't walk- Boogie.

LOL, its gone over your head hasnt it.
Will someone else explain it to him please, if I try I will be wrong some how.
My appologies mark if you didnt understand my first post, isnt aimed at you or unclethirsty?? Was a joke about todays music.
Again, attack the ball not the player please. Are we all good now? Can we get back on topic or do you want to turn it into another pointless post.

Bad was one of the early ones also



anyone remember waiting up all night listening to rage or the radio with your VHS or tape on pause waiting for a good song to come on to add to a mix tape? OR you would have to ring and request and wait for it to come on (they still do that now. seems a bit redundant! )I had a vhs with all the windsurfing bits over wild world of sports. I used to sit through 5 hours of ken sutcliffe and big maxie waiting for a bit of windsurfing. Dash for cash, classic robbie, bits from rigmarole etc. Probably still got it somewhere. Off to tie an onion to my belt

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (on eight track!)

I remember one of my friends used to stay up all night watching rage to pause on all the breaks, just so he would have a tape with everything without the ads or commentary (did they have ads?). Crazy! That's what VCRs are for, you set them to record instead of watching it realtime.

I think my first CD was INXS kick. The same mate mentioned above used to go to the second hand record shops every Saturday looking for new albums from every heavy metal band out there. I don't think he really listened to them, just admired the artwork on the covers.

I had another mate that used to buy cassette singles. If ever there was a product that should have been thrown away this was it. In an auto-reverse deck in a car, you would hear the same 1 or 2 songs the whole way. I still have nightmares of the Screaming Jets and 'Better' driving all the way down to the Snowys...
