The First Album You Ever Bought..
- Thread starter Lumpy 1
- Start date
The very first album I bought was Michael Jackson Thriller in 1983.....I was 10.
That is one rockin' album!The Beatles - "Meet The Beatles!" (U.S. Stereo LP - Capitol) [Full Album] - YouTube
I was 12 years old and bought it with my babysitting money.
People don't realize what it was like back then unless you were there and lived through it.
We were listening to 4 years of this shit...

Darlin` the first ones I bought and in rapid succession, were all the artists on the Windham Hill label. George Winston and those great musicians. I still listen to them on Pandora Internet Radio. Woot!!!
May I wish you a most enjoyable Memorial Day weekend, Lumpy 1, and I hope you are spending it with some members of that wonderful family of yours.

I was 14 and was 'borrowing the car' at 2am in order to drive around the block and back. Fast.
Wow..so that would have been about 33 years ago...lemme think...I am pretty sure it was Foghat Live.

Wow, I don't remember it's been so long ago. I had an older brother and sister and I remember Pat Boone's Love Letters in the Sand from a really early age. We didn't have much money, but my mother gave me a dollar a week for an 'allowance.' Most of my friends bought records, but I was more into saving my dollars up and buying something cute to wear.
I do recall in high school the record store had a 'secret agent' contest. The prize was a transistor radio. They would choose someone to be the secret agent and everyone in the school was supposed to ask everyone else if they were the store's secret agent. The DJ was driving by my house and saw me in the yard, so he stopped and gave me the radio making me the secret agent. I knew I was likely to get asked because I was a cheerleader, so I ducked into every dark corner I could to be there and not really be seen. No one asked, and I won the radio. That radio was a treasured item all through high school.

There have been 4 major events in rock history that changed the coarse of music for the entire world!and it was considered by many to just be a passing fad.....
The first event was rock's genesis. When we went from Frank Sinatra music, to Bill Haley's "Rock around the Clock".
The second event was the British invasion when we went from 50's doo-wop bands to the Beatles.
The third event was when we went from this...
