SK, it takes a helluva man to admit that. My hat's off to you.

Well, look I was 9.
But I've told this story before. When I was 4 I was listening to ELP and The Moody Blues -- tapes my mother had from her record club that she didn't want. Passed on to me. Listened to the Beatles and McCartney after that. In 76 I joined Columbia House and among my first purchases were the first Boston album, Frampton Comes Alive and Monty Python Live at City Center. By 79 I was buying The Who and Pink Floyd. I've always had a wide range of tastes. I STILL listen to the Carpenters -- sometimes right after playing a Led Zep CD. |

I know for a fact, the first albums I bought were those K-Tel records. As for a band, I have no idea because I had accumulated so many albums over the years, it would be difficult to pinpoint which one was my very first. But considering that Kiss was my first true adoration of a rock band, I'd suppose it was Kiss Destroyer.

And it was even worse if we just wanted one song. If we were lucky, we might find it on a 45, otherwise we had to buy the whole damn album for it. I can't even count how many times I had to do that. And there was none of this 'click for the next track' with your remote control bullshit either, we had to get up off our asses and go over to the Hi-fi, pick up the needle, and sometimes we even had to flip the album, and try to drop the needle perfectly into the slot between songs. You maybe got it perfect 1 out of 10 times. And then other times you'd drop it too hard and your dad would start yelling at you. And don't even get me started on your 'mix CDs'. We had to use cassette tape for compilations, and we didn't just have to throw a playlist together and click on a button to burn a disc. No sir, we had to round up all the albums we wanted to use, and one by one take them out of their sleeves and jackets and manually load them on the turntable and then run the Discwasher over them. Then you'd have to drop the needle at the end of the preceding song and rush over to hit the record button on your tape deck and get it recording before the desired song starts and then hit pause once it's over and then put it back in its sleeve and jacket. Now get off my lawn before I fill your backside full of buckshot. ![]() |

The first two albums I bought when I got my first turntable (which was somewhat later than all my friends, it seemed) were:

Not sure which was first. Probably either the first Foreigner album, or Dreamboat Annie, or Boston, or maybe The Commodores. All 8-track!
