mac1 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 After a 15 year break from owning any records I sent $18 to Skunk Records in 1998 for 40 oz. to Freedom. At the time I did not even own a TT and just used push pins to hang the record on the wall. About 3 years later I purchased an all-in-one Crosley Unit and finally played the LP in 2001. Still own the record, with two pin holes, and will be the last LP I ever sell or give away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyej01 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Bad Books - II Picked it up at a show a year ago because i loved the art in the collectors book. That kind of led to me buying my first setup and the piles of records since. itsaleaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm pretty sure it was a 7". I cant quite remember which was first, but it was either Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers, Hacksaw Jim Duggan or 2 Unlimited. (All choice selections). Then the first LP I bought was Cypress Hill - Black Sunday when I was like 11 years old.... could explain my love of the 'erb in later life.

converge88 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Nirvana-Bleach. I got in like 2004 I think at a hot topic. Still have it and love it. I didn't really get into records though until like 2007. I just bought it cause I was obsessed with nirvana haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 First ones I remember buying were: The Cure - Boys Don't Cry MC5 - Back in the USA Both bought at the same time from the same record stall in a local market around 2001/2. About £10 for both I think. Still have them, both still great. First record I remember being "mine" (bought by parents just for me): The Simpsons - Sing the Blues Got it on holiday in about 1993. -- Since I'm here, first CD I bought with my own money: The Cardigans - Gran Turismo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpitts Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Singles boxset. I bought it new from Car City Records in St. Clair Shores. I was way into CD's at the time but would pick up my favorite bands' stuff on vinyl if I saw it. I knew I had to have this the second I ran across it. After that, it was Green Day's 39/Smooth, Nirvana Unplugged, NOFX "Liza and Louise" & "Fuck the Kids" not long after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingnatural Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 First record I bought was Black Sabbath - Sabatoge. Bought it when I was 7 back in 1991 or so. I had various records already at the time but they were all hand me downs from siblings. The Sabbath LP was the first that I actually purchased myself. Been buying records and other formats ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
