I remember being annoyed with some albums disappearing from Spotify and other music services a few years ago.
This was also at the time I was exploring NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert on Youtube and discovered Idles.
It was just the sound I needed in my life and I had to have a physical copy. The rest is history.
What was your first?
@Procedure8295 My parents have a pretty large collection of vinyls from the communist era, albeit most of them being under the Electrecord label. I can’t remember anything too interesting from their collection, though, and now their record player is also broken (it needs a new needle). I have a few friends that collect vinyls, though, and they got me into this hobby as well. After I bought a cheap record player, I got this disk to test it out from a store selling 2nd hand vinyls. I remember I was amazed by how well it sounded.
Cat Stevens, the album with “Remember the Days of the Old School Yard” on it.
Depeche Mode - Violator … <3
Deep Purple’s Machine Head, bought in 1978 (when I was 5). I liked Highway Star and begged my dad to buy the album for me.
“More Of The Monkees” (Colgems, 1967), second was the Byrd’s “Mr. Tamborine Man” (Columbia, 1965) - still have that one in the collection.
Aerosmith: Greatest Hits (late 70s or early 80s)
