What was the first Record/Tape/CD you ever bought? - Page 2

Buccaneer · 02-03-2005, 09:30 PM

Beatles' Yellow Submarine when it first came out. It went with the cartoon.

Qwikshot · 02-03-2005, 09:31 PM

Peter Gabriel's "So". I loved Sledgehammer, and I was going to buy the single, but my mom said for the money, go for the entire album...

I think the first records I bought for myself were from the "As Seen On TV" stripe -- for some reason I think one was called "Music Machine" and had Robby the Robot or some facsimile thereof on the cover. Great stuff - sort of "big hits from about a year ago" material.

Hmmm...Separated at birth?

Record- Culture Club "Colour By Numbers" and Duran Duran "Seven And The Ragged Tiger" , purchased on the same day.

Tape- Bryan Adams, not sure what the name was.

CD- I think it was David Ball "Thinkin Problem", either that or a Diamond Rio CD

Oddly enough, if you play Peter Gabriel's "So" backwards you can hear a voice saying "Play the football sim like a spreadsheet... and they will know you as quick s-[garbled]"

Radii · 02-03-2005, 10:30 PM

Billy Joel - An Innocent Man (I am 99% sure that was the name of the album... but that was a logn time ago). Bought it on TAPE. After that I bought some vinyl albums, weird al and huey lewis and the news. God I was weird.

Was?

Craptacular · 02-03-2005, 11:03 PM

Listened to 8-tracks, but don't know if I ever bought one.

I owned one vinyl record, but that was a trade with my brother (I got Def Leppard - Pyromania).

Had lots of tapes, but don't remember the first one I bought (very well may have been a Weird Al album).

First CD I bought was Extreme's "III Sides to Every Story".

fantastic flying froggies · 02-04-2005, 03:46 AM

My first tapes ( I bought 2 at the same time), probably back in 1981.

ACDC - Back in Black
The Police - Outlandos d'amour

I have so many CDs now that I no idea what my first one was...

Northwood_DK · 02-04-2005, 05:10 AM

My first LP

BreizhManu · 02-04-2005, 05:19 AM

First tape : The Cure - Standing on the beach

First CD : Pantera - Vulgar display of power

Mine says, "Turn me on Quiksand, turn me on Quiksand," over and over.

moriarty · 02-04-2005, 07:59 AM

First record: Kenny Rogers the Gambler (or the one w/ the Gambler on it) and the Village People - Macho Man.

First CD: Judas Priest Live

God, I've come a long way.

CamEdwards · 02-04-2005, 08:24 AM

First record: Quiet Riot's Mental Health (2nd was the hair metal band Giuffria... anybody remember them?)

First tape: I truly can't remember. Bobby Brown or Tiffany or something like that.

First CD: Def Leppard's Hysteria (2nd was something by the Michael Schenker Group)

Gregg Giuffria was one of my inspirations growing up. I figured as a pianist who liked heavy metal, aspiring to be him was about as cool as I could get on a keyboard.

I think he's a music exec now (or at least tried to be at one time), but he was in the 70's band Angel, then in Giuffria, then House of Lords. I had all of their albums/tapes, although now, I only have the two Giuffria albums on MP3 (I d/l them when they were unavailable, but I think I read somewhere they've been re-released in the past year or so now that everything from the 80's has been recycled).

Funny you should mention them...a guy whose music blog I read daily posted this yesterday:

NP: The Best Of Gregg Giuffria

Yet another personal mix...I've been grabbing these tunes from Giuffria and House Of Lords to throw random tunes to my Dell DJ. Of the five discs I grabbed from, I thought they were all about equal: 2-3 killer tunes and a bunch of soulless filler. Singers David Glenn Eisley and James Christian both have voices made for the kinds of tunes they sing (one AOR and the other more harder fare).

Here's the tracklisting before anyone asks: Do Me Right, Call To The Heart, Chains Of Love, I Wanna Be Loved, Love You Forever, Can't Find My Way Home, I Must Be Dreaming, What's Forever For, Girl, Lonely In Love, Love Don't Lie, Inside You, Remember My Name, Can't Fight Love, Jealous Heart

Wow, they used the word love a lot in their song titles.

Ramzavail · 02-04-2005, 10:35 AM

Bad Religion 80-85
Nirvana Bleach

In 1990, I was 10, got them both in the same trip. I still have them today and they work.

Tekneek · 02-04-2005, 10:48 AM

LP - Pink Floyd's "Animals"
--- I was 6, and bought it at a garage sale. I actually did listen to it and like "Pigs", "Dogs", and "Sheep" to this day. Unlike most people, I think 'The Wall' is the least interesting album.

45 - bought 3 at the same time: "Venus" - Bananarama, "Press to Play" - Paul McCartney, and "Paranoimia" - Art of Noise/Max Headroom.

Tape - "Poolside" by Nu Shooz

CD - "Substance" by New Order

Yep, bought the album because of "Call to the Heart". Looking back... it wasn't so great.

Glad that someone else remembers that band, however. You're the first.

Kodos · 02-04-2005, 12:50 PM

I remember Call To The Heart by Guiffria as well. But then I was a big pop-metal fan.
