lol mrb, great idea

So if you want to show your age, and reminisce in a pre-internet world, what was the first vinyl record you bought?

Mine was the Night Shift by the Commodores

not really. You can still buy em here in most pawn shops. I generally buy the good ones before others turn em into arts n crafts (wastage).

My first one was the AC/DC album - The Razor's edge. which I gave to a friend about 2 weeks later and have kicked myself since then. I was starting high school when I bought it.

I did get the cd a few years ago though..

For me it was Slade's Merry Christmas, 1973. I was 11 at the time

I certainly grew up with the smell of vinyl. My Dad had enough to open his own record shop. My parents went to lots of parties, and it always seemed to be an unwritten rule that my Dad would take his record collection and be the DJ.

When I was a nipper, my Dad got me to write the artist and song title on each of the singles' paper covers. After each party, it was my job to replace each single into it's cover. I also had to categorise into sections (e.g. Rock 'n' Roll; "Bad Salads", etc). It's no wonder that music is still a massive part of my life. It's also no wonder that, when I first started to work for my Dad, he got me to do all the filing - that's obviously what he'd been preparing me for.

Anyway, in answer to your question, I believe the first one I actually bought with my own money was "Brontosaurus" by The Move.
