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?

Tireguy,

Thanks for this opportunity to take a stroll down memory lane.

It must have been 1965, because the first record I bought was a 45 of "Mustang Sally" by Wilson Picket (I can't remember what was on the flipside). I bought it from a Thrifty drugstore near my house in L.A. I was 11 years old, and my allowance could cover the cost of a 45, but not an Lp. By the time I was 13, I was working so I could regularly afford LPs. I think the first LP that I bought was either the Beatles' "Revolver" or the Rolling Stones' "Aftermath". Soon after that I bought my first real stereo system, a Nikko receiver, some crappy speakers, a Garrard record changer removed from a boken portable record player, and a pair of Sennheiser headphones (weak bass, grainy treble, but I thought they sounded great!)

I guess CRS Syndrome effects short-term more than long-term memory ...
