First Album Purchase
Do people of this vintage remember their first album purchase? By medium, mine were:
Cassette: Graffiti Crimes
Vinyl: Duran Duran
CD: World Clique
Not quite sure I should have admitted all that ;)

That was a great Simple Minds album. I bought that one too and I still think it was their best.

Late Bloomers

My first post to the group - hey everyone.

Sheesh - you guys were born in '68 and you only bought your first album in the dawn of the '80s!!?

I was already wasting my pocket money/allowance on KISS in 1976. The first album I bought was Alive! - for some reason not just "live" but "alive"!! Then I had to go and drool grape Now and Later spit all over the record and it was never the same again.

Then again, I have an aunt who was only seven years older than I am. She was more like a big sister and anything she listened to, I listened to. Consequently, as an 8-year old I was already listening to Pink Floyd, Rick Derringer, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin Good start, eh?

Love ya, Aunt Arlene, 4eva (scrawled on a black and white notebook cover!)

Any of you have such a musical influence to rely on?

B-guy

Sadly my father was an Opera buff and real sources of musical guidance until we started watching the classic Australian TV show Countdown. around 1976 I have to admit we were allowed to stay up late and watch ABBA.

A little later I began to rely on a friends musical purchases. I'd go to his place and we'd stick the cassette player in front of the speakers, stick on the LP, press records and creep out of the room (and people worry about mp3 bitrates!). Alive would have pre-dated this low-fidelity piracy, but I can clearly remember copying Dynasty, Dream Police, Outlandos D'Amour and, a favourite of my sisters, the Grease soundtrack. All of this was around 1978-9.

uh-oh ...

7": Duncan (honestly !)
Cassette : Autumnal Park
CD : Forever Young
Vinyl: 1982 Out of the Blue

I mostly bought cassettes in the early day. I'm pretty sure the first non-compliation album bought was This Is the Sea.
My music collection before that was based on recording live cassettes from 2SM Rock of the Eighties !

slimduncan -
Forever Young was a great track - used to play it all the time on WLIR Long Island, NY (one of the first 'alternative' radio stations) when I was in high school.

and smc2911 -
Ain't nothing wrong with opera. I've had Shostakovich's "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk" looping on my iPod for a few weeks now. I'm a big fan of Russian opera and Wagner too.

Cheap Trick - that's funny. They always remind me of the scene in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" in which slimy Mike Damone, the ticket-scalper, is trying to sell some girl Cheap Trick tickets by running through a medley of their songs:

"I want YOU to want ME"

"The Dream Police ... d-da da da da da da da"

"Your Momma's alright,
Your Daddy's alright,
They just seem a little bit weird ... Surrender!"

I just remembered a couple of movie soundtrack albums I bought - Bugsy Malone and Thank God It's Friday!! Bugsy Malone must have been way back 1975 or 1976 while TGIF was 1978, I think.

First LP: Complete Madness, Madness (bought with a record voucher I won for coming first in a primary school disco)
First single: Tainted Love, Soft Cell (that's if you don't count the single of Moscow, theme from 1980 olympics, which we got as a present from someone)
First tape: Abba Arrival (for my eighth birthday. thanks mum and dad!)
First tape I bought: Kim Carnes. Loved Bette Davis Eyes. The rest was rubbish. Oh, and I did love that Grease soundtrack.

I think it's like radiation: once you've been over-exposed at an early age it's hard to recover. Mind you, my siblings did not have the same severe reaction and one of my brothers has gone so far as to get involved in opera direction. Not for me though!

first cassette was Get The Knack stretched as it is, it still gets a run through every now and then.
Was a huge Adam and the Ants fan, and as card carrying member of the KissArmy, i couldn't not put that close upon The Knack's heals were Dynasty and Alive!

Kiss, Waverly Park, 1980 is still a stand-out gig in my head.

Oh yeah! The Knack were so cool. The Japanese noise band Polysics do an amazing cover of My Sharona. I also bought You're Just What I Needed - classic guitar solo and amazing stuttering muted guitar intro.

I bought my first album (1982) in a petrol-station : Duke
Didn't know Genesis at all... I liked the cover of the tape. It guided all my future musical choices...

Can't remember my 1st album, but my first couple of singles (and I can't even tell you which order I bought 'em in) were:

That's Entertainment, with a live version of Down in the Tube Station at Midnight on the B Side. It had a huge centre hole, which meant centring it was an interesting game if you wanted to avoid enormous wow.

A live recording (maybe an EP?) of Too Much Too Young, second hand from a mate

I also remember hearing Planet Earth on John Peel and thinking "Bloody Hell that's Good". Before they were the idols of every girl on the planet, obviously.
My eclectic score is currently 98/100
