VERY FIRST ALBUM/45
Don't think I've scene this post before but what was the very first album/45 (yeah, I know, I'm old) you picked out and purchased with your own money? Seen a lot of music posts recently and it got me thinking. Mine? The Wild Cherry album with 'Play That Funky Music (White Boy). I was in 8th grade and at the time it was a pretty cool song. It hadn't become the cliche/joke that it is now.
Giving my age away now, "TELSTAR" by the Tornadoes 45, still got it, I was 16. first album "here we go round the mulberry bush" Spencer Davis group and Traffic, rare now, but haven't even played it in over forty years, ,,, bring back vinyl .....
I think I still have all my original vinyl too.
Album: was either Kiss "Destroyer" or ELO "New World Record".
45: Don McLean's "American Pie", though I received Neil Sedaka's "Bad Blood" in the school gift exchange.
Destroyer belonged to my sister, so I couldn't count it. The major ELO album for me was Discovery. I was in 6th grade and the album belonged to my friend's sister. Holy crap we almost wore the groove off of it!
I have "Discovery", too, and "Out of the Blue". Played all three pretty heavily. Never got to see them live though. Sure wish I had!
Shout it
Shout it
Shout it out loud!
Wow! I don't know if I can remember back that far!! The first 45 might have been Elton John - Philadelphia Freedom, or Grand Funk Railroad - Locomotion......but I believe it was Terry Jacks - Season in the Sun.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun...
