Yes ! I am agree with you ! Plase take a while to visit FREE APPRECIATION SOCIETY website with several tracks to listen to (for free) ! Especially this link Free Appreciation Society: Paul Kossoff - September 14, 1950 - March 19, 1976 âSwamp Manâ track played on Martha Velez LP 'Fiends And Angelsâ . Amazing !
First album (tape)
MC Hammer: Too Legit to Quit
First CD
Madonna: The Immaculate Collection
No matter how dire an album is, as a rule, I never get rid of them (unless they were on tape). They are like a diary⌠well except there was one so atrocious I folded it in half until it shattered across the room. In hindsight, even that end was too good for it.

I very much enjoy the mentality there! I have a lot of albums I no longer listen to due to having a shift in musical taste, but they were me at some point. Itâs fun to just go through and remember what you did and enjoyed back then!

I first LP was Deep Purple in Rock
Followed swiftly by the Yes Album, which I enjoyed more, and is still a favourite, even if my tastes have shifted to Jazz, over the years.

Before I built my first hifi at age of 15, my brotherr had a Dansette type record player, and had Pink Floydâs Saucerful of Secrets, Moody Bluesâ On the threshold of a dream, Tchaikovskyâs 1812 paired with something I donât remember and Ten Years Afterâs Ssssh (plus a couple of other things I didnât care for). Those were the first albums I played- on his record player when he was out (getting into trouble when ho found out, invariably because I forgot to return the treble and bass controls from max where I preferred them back to his preferred positions). When I started buying music we agreed to share with each other and not duplicate, and I am struggling to remember what was actually my first album purchase. I think it was Shades of Deep Purple - a record I was attracted to try in the record shop because of its gorgeous colour! I cannot be certain, but as it stands at the moment it is my best guess:
Absence of album covers is the one disadvantage of buying music as files to stream - yes I can view them online, but not an automatic thing one is forced to see, and no handling of it. (CDs were in between - yes they had artwork, but too small to be enjoyable in their own right.

Interestingly in my case my taste has not shifted, still liking everything I did 50+ years ago, just a very handful or so of albums I discarded I made the mistake of buying either assuming the new release would be good on the strength of an artistâs past, or captivated by something in brief hearing in record shop but not taking to it. However my taste has widened somewhat, most notably into opera.
Thank you.
Paul Kossoff left this world far too soon. One of my favourite guitarists

Chris Barber - âPetite Fleurâ. First record purchase with my own money I think! This was a 1971 compilation on the Hallmark label in electronically created stereo. It included the classic title track from 1959 with Monty Sunshine on Clarinet. I had heard this on an old â78â at a schoolfriendâs house, hence this purchase from Woolworthâs!

Mike Oldfield - âTubular Bellsâ (1973). First âseriousâ record purchase at near full price. I paid ÂŁ2.99, reduced from ÂŁ3.25 and bought a plastic wallet to go with it! Woolworthâs again, in 1976 or 1977!

Holst - âThe Planetsâ. First classical vinyl. I had heard some of this in school and bought this budget price recording on the MFP label, probably in early 1972. I think this will be the first recording of this work for many of a certain age. Woolworthâs again, didnât buy all my records from there!
