tireguy: nice query. i do, indeed, remember the very first record i purchased. it was a 45rpm (big hole) of the platters, "the great pretender." must have been around 1957-58. bought it at the magnavox record/appliance store on 2nd street in davenport, iowa, next door to western auto. the first lp i bought was van cliburn playing tchaikovsky's 1st piano concerto, which was also in the 50's (that's the 1950's, BTW). -kelly
I don't remember much, but I remember......
Not sure about you guys but it seems to me that things are getting a little tense here again and we need to have a little bit of fun! I was enjoying an evening of listening to my rig and then I saw it...my first CD(sorry guys too young for LP's!). I remember everything about the day I got it, the weather, the time, where it was purchase, even the price! The CD was U2's "Achtung Baby" I put the CD in(I have not listened to it in years)and was brought back to a time not too long ago when things seemed.....well, simpler. Then I got to think what a profound impact that one event had on my life, the joy of music. Does anyone else remember there first CD or LP? did it have as much of an impact on you as mine had on me?
