Sunray782 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 First album I ever owned: Mariah Carey's "Daydream" (cassette). My mom got it for me for my 10th birthday, which was July 1, 1997. That was the first one I remembered buying, but then I went back and looked at all the stuff I had and I was wrong. I bought a Genesis tape when I was about 9 thinking it was something really new and cool sounding. I later found out it was twice as old as I was!

stonefreelee Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Well it was my first purchase on 45 although it was given as a gift to the first girl I had a crush on. "Sugar Sugar" The Archies http://youtube.com/watch?v=mGL4btEIoTo My best friend (who passed in august) had that and "1910 Fruitgum (?) Company" - the song: "Yummy, Yummy,Yummy, I got love in my tummy". Please tell me someone else has heard of this...he and i used to laugh our asses off about that one!

stonefreelee Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 1st 45.... Pictures Of Lilly : The Who 1st Cd..... The Cry Of Love : Hendrix Anyone remember being able to buy LPs in Mono or Stereo ? Reading your post reminded me of one of my "rare" recordings (sorry, kinda off-topic)...it was a studio outtake of "All my love" on "Studio Daze"...if you turn it up loud enough at the beginning, you can clearly hear Bonzo fiddling about on his kit (before the take starts) and then he sings a line, that line, "pictures of lily..." then you hear his cackling laugh...then the take starts! Ah, the cry of love...excellent (have you acquired "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" yet?) And yes, i remember "mono" records...i remember seeing them in my dad's record collection. He had things like the soundtrack to "World at War" series and the navy counterpart, what was it called? Somethng at Sea...anyone? Nevermind, it just came to me : Victory at Sea!

redeyedrichard Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I think it might have been Blur's "Country House" single, many moons ago. Either that or a Lenny Kravitz single, back in the 90s. My musical tastes quickly deteriorated...but after that I managed to get the Rock I needed to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonefreelee Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I had that yummy yummy 45 ! I listened to as much bubblegum as I chewed !! I have cavities in my brain because of it !!! hahahaha.... I hear that! The pathetic thing for me is that when i was 13 (first 8 months of '77) I was still listening to bubblegum, too. Of course, I blew (play on words not intended) my only chance to see LZ- St.Louis, 15 April, 1977. A goof of collossal proportions! I rememer seeing on the local news about "the longhairs" camping out at the arena for three days before tickets went on sale...and they sold out in three hours! That year I did discover the beatles, though, which helped to uh, change my musical views...and soon enough I was one of "the longhairs"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Masson Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 As I recall my first was Black Sabbath, Sabotage, in 1975, on cassette. Also bought Queen's first album around the same time, and that was an LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepaholic Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 No rhyme or reason but my 1st was Edgar Winter's "Road Work"...a live album with Rick Derringer and guest appearance by Johnny W. All i remember is a GREAT version of Tobacco Road and a wicked Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo with Johnny on lead. Don't know where it went to but thinking about it makes me want to find it again. I was about 10 years old and most likely thought that the cover looked cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thinking about it, I've come to the conclusion that the actual first album I bought with my own money was this: On cassette. Apparently it was released in 1995 so I was only 9. As for the first single, it's a bit hard to pinpoint the actual one...I know I bought: Chumbawamba - Tubthumping The Seahorses - Blinded By The Sun Will Smith - Men In Black On cassette because I still have them. They will have been among the first. When my mum got me a CD player she bought me Texas's White On Blonde album to play on it, and I think I bought North Country Boy by The Charlatans and Tsunami by Manic Street Preachers the next day. Because I didn't really like Texas. There was also Closed For Business by Mansun that I remember buying during a Pontins holiday...I was probably about 11 or something? Oh, I had Be Here Now by Oasis on cassette too...I got that when it came out. Not sure where that fits in though! I remember all the records, I just don't remember in what order I got 'em!
