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?

Yes, indeed I do. The first album I bought actually consisted of 2, Pink Floyd's, Dark Side.. and Led Zepplin I.
I purchased them at a department store, WT Grants. The year was 1974 and it was in the Fall. It was money I had saved from my paper route. I played them on a Gerrard TT that was a tubed intergrated given to me from my father.

Boy, did they sound great. I played both until I wore a groove through to the other side. Buying and playing these albums made an impact in my life and opened my eyes to the world of Rock and Roll. Or, at least 70's Rock and Roll!
