Glass Houses was the first album I got to know as a child. I had bought some 45s before that, but Glass Houses was the first full-length album I played oner and over, BUT I don't have that album right now.

How do you roll? First LP on a new TT.
I am new and I am sure there are threads that touch on this, but I was wondering what others play that first virgin time they hook up a new turntable.
I will be getting my kit in a couple of days, and I naturally started thinking about what I wanted to play. Of course, it is not just about the turntable, but the amps, speakers, cartage etc. but just in terms of music: what do you use to test your new kit out?
My family is very musical. A great relative founded the Vancouver symphony; I have two family members in the Chicago symphony chorus; and my grandfather was an accompanist to Italian opera singers in the 40s. 'Classical' is natural, so some Sir George Solti comes to mindm -- but I don't have any of his vinyl.
I also have a soft spot for punk rock (yikes), and laying down some Lagwagon or Authority Zero would really make my day -- but probably wouldn't tell me much. It would be fun though.
In the end, I think I am going to go with some Andrew Bird (Scythian Empires) or even more contemporary, such as First Aid Kit. Nice vocals with some good instrumentation.
Just wondering what other people's play-back reference is.
Cheers,
