Can’t remember what came first. Either The Beatles “The Beatles” or CCR Green River. Bought the The Beatles LP with 11th birthday money at Ted’s Records & Hobbies in Montréal. Sold it with all the rest of my 900 discs about ten years ago. What an idiot to not keep a few of the great ones. Listening to the 50th anniversary edition on Tidal these last couple of weeks. Incredible detail. I miss the physical properties of the vinyl but am very happy with the ease and quality of hi-res streaming.
What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?
My record collection is my passion. I started buying albums when I was in 9th grade. I was hooked. I don;t think I missed a weekend visit to the local record shop in the mall from the time I was 16 until I graduated college. I still own those albums that I took so much care to choose..Just wondering if anyone else holds such memories dear and are sentimentally holding on to their old albums. I still play them and enjoy them every bit as much as I did back in the day.
And my first album was Elton John...Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Sometimes I look at the covers and think, I have listened to these so much, I am jaded. But I put them on and enjoy them as much as I ever did.
