How about the first cassette tape?

I bought it second hand in a thrift store in Springfield, MO.

Led Zep soundtrack The Song Remains the Same

Journey "Escape" and Huey Lewis and the News "Picture This."

Gee, and I wonder why you like Rush. :D

The first album of theirs I bought was this:

I'd listen to Xanadu over and over while thumbing through my baseball card collection or drawing medieval characters...I just loved that song.

Damn...helluva start there on that music collection of yours. :thumb:

I joined Columbia House when I was like 12 or something; so I'm not sure WTF I bought. I bought a lot of CD's over the course of two years though, I know that.

That's funny.

I don't remember what the first one was I ever bought with my own money, but I know the first one I ever had was this:

My dad gave it to me for my 11th birthday in 1979, and I still have it to this day.

That album brings back great memories of that summer. There wasn't a single day that KY-102 didn't play either "Baby, I Love Your Way", "Show Me the Way", or "Do You Feel Like I Do?" On the rare occasion, you might here "Lines on My Face" or whatever that song was.

I think that was the summer I gravitated from those K-Tel records and started getting into rock. I was just a little boy who went to the country club pool every day and those hot teenage lifeguard girls would jam KY-102 over the loudspeaker and you could pretty much count on one of Frampton's songs being played within the hour. Great memories. And I love how a song and/or an album can renew those fond memories of our youths.

Kansas - Point of No Return


Sad part is that I bought it for Dust in the Wind, probably the mellowest song on the album. It wasn't long before I preferred Carry on Wayward Son (been my "theme" song ever since) and Portrait (He Knew) and would skip over Dust.

What was the name of that record shop on the west side of Antioch Road, just south of 95th Street? And, is it still there?

This was no surprise :D
