Music What Was The First Album You Bought?

Bugeater...that's too funny.

It's funny how you mention the desire to tape the songs from the albums because that was my first job ever- making tapes for my friends. They'd come over and see all my albums and say, "Oh man, can you make me a tape?"

I made them buy the blank cassettes and they'd give me $10 for each tape I recorded. It took HOURS! Gawwddamn...having to sit there, pull out the album, set it down on the turntable, set the needle right before the song starts, then lean over and hit the Record button, and then hit Play on the record player.

Now, I can download a hundred complete albums before I ever finished taping a single song. And to think I only did that for $10/tape.
