I got two for Christmas along with a banging Sylvania compact stereo; the speakers were stored on either side of the turntable and hardwired to the main chassis.
The albums were Led Zeppelin and Who's Next.

so I don't know who/what they were about, oh well.....

and I gave away two 8' stacks of LP albums near 20 years ago......because later recordings were much easier and cleaner to listen to.....then maybe ten years later ditched another 4' of them......used to have a stereo hobby......built my own back in the 60's....speakers too......went from vacuum tube amps/preamps/control units to first of transistors.....and even into chips for a short while.....got outta making my own shit, and went into top of the line FINE sound REproduction work....

McIntosh was the brand.....I knew Frank and Don father/son.....

met/knew Gene Cerwynski.......Cerwin/Vega fame too.....

As well as Avery Fisher....of Fisher stereo fame.....


my sister is age 90 now, married a musicologist she went to screwal with....he was head of recorded sound/preservation division of Library of Conngress Wash DC, next door to Conngress.......I used to visit the labs and witness the sound preservation work going on.......one thing to stick a book on a shelf in a temp/humidity controlled library....but quite another to preserve recorded sound so it don't become all shitty/scratchy/faded sounding with age, due to plastic/magnetic/tape/platter age deterioration.....today I suspect it's a lot more easy because it can be digitized and flipped over VERY fast.....not like playing a series of 2 hours of some Beethoven concert and trying to store the platter/LP on to a tape......

ALL platters deteriorate in the paper albums they come in.....
I'm still going through many 30+ year old boxes. I have yet to open the LP/Cassette/Music boxes. But, I did find this today... May need to go full-on hipster. Stand by.

I remember in 4th grade, we had a student teacher in my class and we had to do some project about our favorite things.
At the time, I said "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC was my favorite song. I was 9 or 10, I had no idea what it was about...but I do remember the student teachers reaction.
the bsmith memory is kicking in...I even remember her last name.

Steppenwolf Monster. A message that applies today as much as yesterday. A friend and I used the song for a school project.

It was a Temptations album, but I don’t recall which one. I bought it somewhere around ‘70-‘71. First rock album was Grand Funk Live. First concert, too.

My first album was TAKE FIVE.....by Dave Brubeck.......

bought on way home from Jr. High screwal......Variety Records, Joe Goldberg owner......and his main helper was owner of a '56 Thunderbird......so I would have been maybe age 11-13 or so......

Not heard that song in a L O N G time....I do a search and pull it up.....

Brubeck, Desmond, Morello, Wright......

I had free access to my parents albums (Elvis,etc..). My older brother was big into stereo equip. and album collector. He always bought and I got to keep my money, but enjoy the music. I think the first one I ACTUALLY purchased was a Skynyrd album in the late '70s.

Not my firsts, but certainly a deep groove in these. May need to get a turntable just to listen again. BTW, wife has a box full of Air Supply and Barry Manilow.
