| Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. But, haven't played it since I replaced it with a CD in the mid 80's. |

I'm afraid all my LP's were discarded in the mid 90's. I lived an itinerant life for several years, often out of the back of a suitcase with no home base, so it wasn't possible to keep them. For me, it would be far too expensive to start off again now, so I just make do with CDs, sadly. I do get periodic hankerings though; last week, I found a near mint copy of Moody Blues' Long Distance Voyager for £4 and said to Sue I'd have snapped that up if I still had a turn table...  Maybe when I win the lottery....

I'll say Stand Up as well, but my dad bought in 69. I also still have my dad's Hair broadway musical soundtrack - but that was given to him as a joke from the office colleagues. However,
I kept my original Crime of The Century, Selling England, TotT, Grey & Pink,
Harmonium debut Aqualung & TAAB as well. All of which were amongst my first 10 albums bought and canadian first pressings.
Like you, upon my return to the old world at the start of the 90's, I was not a nomad, but had no space for such things in my life. So, I had brought a few back with me, sold some of it (the less important ones) and kept some at buddy's place for exportation when I would have the money. Unfortunately the buddy ended up selling them after his second move without warning me and wired me the money (he got some rather good prices considering the late-90's context). But that means I lost my original Crimson and a few more. I've grown used with CD's user-friendliness and won't go back to vinyl (just make sure I still own some iconic gatefold sleeves), but I'm looking for the first four Crimson albums (preferably of the times, not modern reissues), just for the sake of owning them: the quality of the disc must not be as good as the sleeven, since I won't play the vinyl (despite looking to replace my broken TT). ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I gave all of my old LP's to my brother when I moved house, but my oldest CD is Les Baxter's Music Out of the Moon (1947) - the very first album of Space Age Pop - which I bought as part of a 32-album Les Baxter box set around ten years ago. |

I think it is AC/DC - Back In Black (1980). Before that, I used to buy cassettes. And I still have about 170 LPs of 70's-80's hard-rock/heavy-metal. No progressive rock, sorry !

Bozo The Clown...I kid you not. Well to be fair, I didn't buy it myself, I got it from my folks. My first LP purchase...not 100% sure but most likely one of the following, Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman, Deep Purple Fireball, Paul McCartney RAM, Alice Cooper Killer. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

I remember one of my very first LPs (I must have been 13) was Saxon: Strong Arm Of The Law on aqua blue vinyl... it looked most conspicuous and I was quite proud of it at the time!

With The Beatles (Australian edition, Gold/black Parlophone labels) March 1964. My sister is 14 years older than me and she brought it home a few months prior to The Fab Four's Oz tour in June of that year. I still have it (and she keeps asking me for it back!). Only in fair condition though. The Australian With The Beatles has unique cover art and the Gold/Black label version is very collectible. |

My very first album purchase that I still own/possess is, I think, either The Carpenters The Carpenters or America's debut album--both released late in 1971 but purchased in the Spring of 1972 when I was 13 years old and had my own first money (and a "record player"--my first!)

The Beatles' Help is probably the oldest (given to me as a gift sometime in the 1960s). Then there is Peter, Paul and Mary Ten Years Together (again, a gift in 1970), then Jethro Tull's Aqualung and Alice Cooper's Killer from 1971. I started buying records pretty regularly after that with a newspaper route, and supplementing those with getting 12 albums for $2 (or whatever the deal was) a couple times from Columbia House (and then defaulting on the agreement -- well, I was under 16). ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |
