What Was Your First Album - Page 2

SnikPlosskin · 02-10-2021, 10:30am

Oddly I was gifted about a thousand albums when I was 13 or 14. This collection expanded to about 3000 by the time I was 17. Prior to that, my dad had everything from Hank Williams and Charlie Pride to Simon and Garfunkel, Kingston Trio, Marty Robbins. My Grandmother had Jesus Christ Superstar and several Bill Cosby albums.

Mom got me the Temps "Puzzle People" for my bday.
Even though the album was old by that time, I still liked the groove.

Your mom done good! Temps are one of my favorites.

But this was the first album I bought... probably '67 or '68. Still have it and it's still playable. Sorta. College dorms were rough on vinyl.

I also had a bunch of Disneyland albums (which I think my mom still has).

Ok, if you take it back to when I was knee high to a gnat....

I commandeered my parents record collection back in 1963. My favorites were Johnny Cash and Pasty Cline. Good stuff even though I probably had more fun making caterpillars dizzy on them

Yes, and for '67-'68 as well.

My 1st album, and the only one worth having as a 1st.

II was my first, but I played the crap out of IV.

Funny as hell, this thread pops up, just a day late......a neighbor is moving further south after some 35 years here......and so he/wife cleaning out house and gave us some old ancient video tapes....commerical made, and about SEX......since all the old VHS players are long since gawn.....I just pitched them in the trash yesterday, and picked up this afternoon.......

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.....

Brand new then...

This is the only one I remember now, may have been a few more before???
I played this down the basement constantly, I still have it......somewhere.
