I don't remember much, but I remember......

My first lp was Jimmy Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" I purchased when it was just out and I was pre-puberty. I probably had to mow about 3 lawns to afford it. I actually had my father, an Episcopal priest, listen to the whole album with me. (His was the only stereo in the house, and it was in the living room.) Neither my father, nor I, had any idea what Jimmy was meaning. I also had him listen sometime later to Alice Cooper's lp "No More Mr. Nice Guy." What a sport, he thought it was pretty clever...come to think of it, I don't remember us sitting down together after that. [:)]

I am pretty sure my first 78 was either the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back," or the theme from the TV show "Hawaii Five-0."

I did not own a cd player until 1994. I am pretty sure I bought "Dark Side of the Moon" first because I am basically politically correct about most things.

First record was a Stones 45...Ruby Tuesday on one side and
Let's Spend the Night Together on the flip. First CD was
Flim and the BB's Tricyle...I was a dedicated 'phile by then
and the sound on my new $150 Magnavox CD player blew me away...at the time. I still have that CDP somewhere maybe
I should post it for sale here.

Motley Crue "Decade of Decadence" CD through a pair of Cerwin-Vega D-1's and a JVC receiver (1st of the titanium series) was one of the first. Its kind of stupid now but...

Tim, I can't even remember where I parked this morning, but I always appreciate your ability to have fun and look at life the way that you do!
All I do remember is that it was old, heavy, played at 33 RPM's and it was probably something like "Snow White and Rose Red", not music, but one of my first records that was my very own. Yer pal - angela

My first record was a 45 - Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog" (around 1957). My first LP was The Platters "Great Pretender" (around 1960). Joel
