Can we not do the "first album" thing?  I don't want to admit that the first album I bought was The Bangles "Different Light".


the first tape i bought was Genesis' abacab.

the first cd's i bought were REM's automatic for the people and helmet's meantime.

i bring this up, because i am in process of selling all of my cd's.
so, the other night, i am selling some cd's.
and i look at the one as the lady scans it, and i say "oh, that was the first cd i ever bought" and she didn't even seem to catch it.

apparently, i expect an unreasonable amount of empathy from managerial staff at book/music/movie chains.

on a side note:
the average, or most common, price for buy back at that store is one dollar.

so far, i've had a couple of 3 dollar, and one 5 dollar so far.

and the 5 dollar goes to:
(drumroll please)
Cake's Fashion Nugget.

i don't get it.

My first CD was The Cure's "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me," which I have recently sold.  I concluded it was too fuckin' whiny.

First LP:  ELO's Greatest Hits.  Hooray for pre-teen tastelessness!

My first Album was Billy Joel's "Glass Houses".
Then the Beatles Greatest  Hits 1967-1970.

These were on LP. Then I got an 8-track of ELO's Greatest Hits.

Remember when CDs came in those long cardboard boxes with the cover art on them?


Oh!  I had forgotten.  Thank you for reminding me that once in a great while there IS such a thing as progress.

Oh, come on, that's supposed to be embarassing?  I strongly suspect that the first album I owned was something by the Partridge Family, but fortunately I am so old that my memory's gone and I don't really remember.

Mine were the first albums I ever bought for myself.  First album ever purchased for me was either Snoopy and the Red Baron by the Royal Guardsment or John Denver's Greatest Hits.  I also wore out a 45 of Don McLean's American Pie.

Ah, I fondly remember doing this also.  Didn't it take up both sides of the 45?

I don't remember what the first albums I bought for myself were.  Maybe Paul Simon with or without Garfunkel.  I think the first CD was Graceland, come to think of it.

I'll have you know that was my thread, and I was inordinately proud of coming up with that idea.

Actually, I just thought it was an interesting thing that "Ten" would have been someone's first CD. Shit, one of my first record albums was "Synchronicity". I think my first 45 was "Watching the Wheels". Then again, my older brother has some 5000 records, so I didn't really have to buy 'em.

Yeah, I had one of those big bouncy ball with a handle that you sat on and bounced and I would just get crazy frenetic to the 10-20-30-40-50 song.

Well, PIL's "Second Edition" came out in 1980 in the US, but yeah, "Metal Box" came out in '79 just like the other albums.

Still, 1979 kinda sucked for music (London Calling notwithstanding).
