What was your first LP record album YOU bought ?

[Earth 2 Chris]

It was either the Monkee's 20th anniversary collection, or The Transformers:The Movie soundtrack (the animated one). I bought both of them from my cousin's music store he had just opened.

Empire strikes back

[CrimsonGhost]

I think it was Kiss Double Platinum. I was young enough that I couldn't remember or pronounce "platinum" at the time. It could have been Paul Stanley's solo album, I forget which was first.

One two Punch for me

[Random Axe]

I think it may have been Pac Man fever. Yeah, not real impressive I know. I did follow up with Styx Grand Illusion, though. Oh yeah, still not impressive.

Def Leppard: Pyromania 1983

[HardyGirl]

I think it was a copy of the Jackson 5's ABC. There was a record store near my Junior hi school. They had a section of overpressing stock, (remember those albums w/ a slit cut in, and sold super cheap?). I think I paid a whole $3 for it. I still have it.

[DocDrako]

If we're talking LPs, it was the second Meco Star Wars album. Yeah, it was a disco album.

I've never bought LPs. I've bought cassettes.

[madmarva]

It was either Kiss: Alive or Destroyer. Got them both within a couple of weeks of each other, but can't remember which one was first.

Also, bought the Bay City Rollers album that had "Saturday Night" on it. Probably shouldn't have admitted that.

Wings At The Speed of Sound
Deep Purple- Perfect Strangers
Ratt- Out of The Cellar
Led Zeppelin- Houses Of the Holy
John Lennon- Imagine.


....and even today, all though I buy CDs, I do goto record stores and I pick up LPs of the stuff I already own on CD. I have thousands of records and I will take a picture oneday.
Besides Megos, I got my daughter into the LP collecting business.
There are some artists who still release their stuff on LP. In fact, I bought Alice Cooper's last album "Along Comes a Spider" on LP....there is so much more he offers...plus Rob Zombies "Hellbilly Deluxe 2" along with Slayer's "War Painted Blood" along with Overkill's "Ironbound"

It is funny though because artists these days release more material per album and Overkill's "Ironbound" is like two or three records.

My band has just released our new album on CD and if anybody knows how we can press it to a record please send me an offline. I have always wanted to press a record LP before I die. I think it would be cool. Most people tell us that it costs too much or their machines are broke. Anybody?

The only one I bought for myself before switching to cassettes was Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet.

I have a few that I've gone back in bought for novelty sake. Depeche Mode: Music For The Masses, Nine Inch Nails: Pretty Hate Machine, and Sisters of Mercy: Vision Thing.

Boy do i stand out here!



The Best of the Statler Brothers

[Brazoo]

I got into music a little late. Peter Gabriel's "So" was my first, but it was on cassette. My dad bought a few albums I liked on record - but they weren't really mine.

I think the first vinyl record I paid money for was probably when I was in my teens, after CDs were huge and used records were dirt cheap. I was probably buying stuff just to try new music instead of spending tons of money on CDs for stuff I didn't know very well. Off hand I don't know what album it was, probably a few things at a garage sale.
