There's fair few I wanted to post
Got me to thinking I might write the 404'd again song over the weekend
If I can keep the lyrics the correct side of T's & C's. I'll post it.

But I some how doubt it

Gotta run

Bad. Micheal Jackson on cassette, lol.

Dad broke it in half, called it destructive to my head..

Is that we're my problems stem from? Gateways?? Lol

Price was 2$-, maybe $2.50

This one drove my parents nuts as I played it constantly while learning to play guitar. I still have Rock n Roll Gypsies on my iPhone. Sniffa (axe man in red) was a god!

Rock n roll boogie at its best!

Yeah it's a different world now.
I wonder what her childhood memories will be made of ?

Apart from her cool Aunty of course

Her memories will probably be made up of the PC, Nintendo DS & whatnot, whereas mine are of getting filthy having adventures, it's like kids don't know how to be kids and she makes me feel old

She will never know how to make a tape recording off the radio! She doesn't even know what one is.
I'm failing her as an aunt and I just now promised myself I will give my niece this experience
Just need to find a tape now...

Christopher Cross album 'Another Page' Boy was that a long time ago. It was a record, 33rpm.

It went round and round and round.

I am dizzy just thinking about it. Eventually I transferred it to Chrome Tape via an Akai Reel to Reel and later via a Nakamichi ZX-7 Tape Recorder.

Half the people reading this have no idea what I am talking about.

1977 purchased my first album "KISS DESTROYER " with birthday money lol

I was lucky that my dad had a tresure trove of LPs.

Thats a big black plastic disc with wiggly grooves, innit. Like a cd, but bigger and blacker.

He had all the later Beatles albums, CCR, Bob Dylan, 10cc, Simon and Garfunkel, C,S,N&Y, Niel Young's Harvest, Hank Williams sr, early Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, and more and more...

The first single I ever bought was "You can call me Al" from Paul Simon, when I was 13.



When I was 15, my Uncle who worked at a local bbc radio station Let me choose from the Album vaults of "what they would never play on local radio", so I picked Jimi Hendrix "Are you experienced", Cocteau Twins "Bluebell knoll", The Velvet Underground (original warhol album and live in 1969), Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" and "Closer"

I still love all this music.

The first Albums I bought were "Born to Run"



and "The rise and fall of ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars"



Ziggy angered my parents, because I took the Label Warning literally...



..And I think "5 years" prepared me for all the doom-pron running up to 2012....

I made the same mistake
My backside is still sore from the hiding I took after the neighbours came round when dad got home

I had the record(days before cd's)-i thought they were so cool!!

reply to post by Theflyingweldsman

I can't even remember the first record or single i bought,but here's 2 of the earliest- i LOVE "You can call me Al"- reminds me of a very good friend i used to have,a girl called Almerie-who was indeed very much like a bodyguard.I recall walking home from our regular nightclub when i was 20-and passing a car full of gansta-types who were shouting come-ons.I worked at the door of the nightclub,so we left really late after i cashed up,i was pregnant,and she was very protective.She shouted back something like:"Eff off or i'll kick you in the nuts so hard you'll think you got tonsilitis"-and it worked-they went back to whatever nefariousness they were occupied with

This is one of those instances where i BADLY underestimated my mother-she found this funny and cute..i found that disturbing
