Topic over in longboards piqued my interest & i gotta get a new needle for the vinyl...so.
What was yours add a story as to why if you can.
Mine was either Led Zeppelin 1 or Blind Faith. The Zep 1 was after a mate & I came back from a surf way back (68/69)then & we called into a guys place the mate knew. Family was/is worth a ****e load, we go upstairs here's this long haired, we all had it then, guy sitting in the bath tub doing a joint & listening to this unreal fken music on a plastic stereo in the bathroom. Music just blew me away, nothing like it around. How did he get it/.. turns out his old man said when I'M overseas what do you want , he says top 10 albums from wherever your are. Mine & music world havn't been the same since.

Whats a vinyl or cd??? Do they still make those things?
My first was an illegal mp3 download of gangnam style, omg, changed my world and taught me some cool dance moves at the same time.
Its so awesome that music has evolved into something now that all mo'fo's can enjoy no matter of age, race or religion.

I dont think music can get better than whats on jjj atm, timeless music that will be remembered for ever in history.
Thoughts??? lol

Dubstep is the best way forward for music and is the new future.

Love how the 30 something tries to sound young and hip

Def Leppard - Hysteria. Bought it with my very own first pay packet and played it on my AWA CD player.

Oh come on, you spent so long telling all the windsurfers that they are old dinosaurs then realised you are about same age, you disclosed ages ago that you are not quite so young as you profess to be

So now when thread like this comes along you make out like the first ever music you had was an mp3 2yrs ago

oh hang on u got upset cos I i forgot to add
cos u can say whatever as long as it has winks everywhere.



and dubstep is techno just done very very poorly.

LOL, its gone over your head hasnt it.
Will someone else explain it to him please, if I try I will be wrong some how.
My appologies mark if you didnt understand my first post, isnt aimed at you or unclethirsty?? Was a joke about todays music.
Again, attack the ball not the player please. Are we all good now? Can we get back on topic or do you want to turn it into another pointless post.

It must have .... cos I thought unclethirsty asked a real question not requiring pisstakes?

anyway mine was the Muppet Movie album on vinyl. It was a toss up between that and a KISS album. Actually I'm glad I chose the former, as it si now unbelievably rare. Understandably hahaha

KISS Dynasty - on cassette

Played it last weekend (on CD) when the Mrs was out

Also cassette Michael Jackson Bad. It was so darn good back then

Looking forward to my next purchase.

Mark and Wind - Get a Room, also heard there was another release due called Lotof and Mark - Everybody does not care (heard it was a classic remake)

lol agreed, sorry youngbull, I should know better by now just not to respond when he attacks my posts. I have been warned not to take his trolled baits.

creedence clearwater revival ep vinyl when I was 10

Its OK, we have an all loved-up thing going on P.M's right now.

This is the exact picture on the first album I ever bought ( Can't find a pic of the cover??) Donovan.
Followed closely by Led Zeppelin 11.

Made in Japan..

Queen: The Game

Still got all my Vinyl, most only played a couple of times (copied to tape) and sleeved.

Wow, what a bunch of youngsters.
When I was about 10, my first album was "Gunfighter Ballads" by Marty Robbins, it contained his first hit "El Paso".
Then when I was 14, my first cherished album, which I still have was "Meet the Beatles", and that led me down the path of endless album buying. I still have most of them, around 1500, gathering dust and fading, but still very playable.

About 7 maybe?

Afric Simone..... hafanana vynil 45

I still love it !!

The first record I actually used my own money to buy........



Bob Dylan - Self Portrait

The first record I ever owned..............



Bought for me by a well meaning elderly auntie (bless her).

Haha - we must be the same vintage!

I've had these discussions with mates who always have cool albums as their first - Neil Young, Springsteen, Dylan, Stones, Oils/Chisel etc...& I bought a Michael Jackson 'tape'. It was good though!

anyone remember waiting up all night listening to rage or the radio with your VHS or tape on pause waiting for a good song to come on to add to a mix tape? OR you would have to ring and request and wait for it to come on (they still do that now. seems a bit redundant! )I had a vhs with all the windsurfing bits over wild world of sports. I used to sit through 5 hours of ken sutcliffe and big maxie waiting for a bit of windsurfing. Dash for cash, classic robbie, bits from rigmarole etc. Probably still got it somewhere. Off to tie an onion to my belt

Mine was a cassette single of Unskinny Bop by Poison.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (on eight track!)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8-track_tape

First ones I bought were a bulk lot from a clearance sale at Boans or someplace in town that no longer exists,

Sounded real strange until I worked out they were 78's

iirc $1 for all I could carry - bought them with the intention of turning them into clay pigeons

Hill billy stuff and Louis Armstrong sound real different with the handbrake on

I remember one of my friends used to stay up all night watching rage to pause on all the breaks, just so he would have a tape with everything without the ads or commentary (did they have ads?). Crazy! That's what VCRs are for, you set them to record instead of watching it realtime.

I think my first CD was INXS kick. The same mate mentioned above used to go to the second hand record shops every Saturday looking for new albums from every heavy metal band out there. I don't think he really listened to them, just admired the artwork on the covers.

I had another mate that used to buy cassette singles. If ever there was a product that should have been thrown away this was it. In an auto-reverse deck in a car, you would hear the same 1 or 2 songs the whole way. I still have nightmares of the Screaming Jets and 'Better' driving all the way down to the Snowys...

Closer - Grand Funk Railroad very early 70s
