What was the first record you ever bought?


Recommended Posts

my friend had been getting into vinyl so him and i went to a flea market so he could do some digging; and i ended up grabbing brian eno's "music for airports," "music for films" along with black flag's "slip it in" and "my war".

 

Slip It In is such a kickass album (except for "Rat's Eyes" - what the fuck is up with that song?). That and Family Man are Black Flag's best in my opinion.

The Mars Volta - Tremulant - yellow marble pressing. This was when I was maybe 16? I'm 23 now and only seriously started collecting last year. I had amassed a 500 strong CD collection and thought it was about time to take the plunge!

 

I spent a decent amount on a Rega RP3 and am in the process of steadily upgrading my hi-fi system. I've never looked back since making the switch. Don't honestly know why it took me so long either!

You think that an instrumental and spoken word only album is one of their best? I think you need to revisit black flag dude. Seriously.

I don't know what it is about that album, but it really speaks to me (no pun intended). I don't mean to discount Rollins' and Black Flag's other work, since it's all great, but if I had to pick two I'd pick those two.

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.

 

did you get the signed "poster" square thing too? It's a really good album

 

mine were The first Cage the Elephant album and Oracular Spectacular MGMT. Since then, I've got about 60 more, so I'm going slow but have great stuff
