Your first records?

[Forostar]

When I was around 8 or 9, I had a collection of various 45's that I played all the time and pretended to be a radio DJ. I never really had a first record or album.

The first you bought is the question. Not the first you had.

 

[desultory]

On a childhood vacation in what was then called Yugoslavia I bought my first three records; Powerslave, SIT and their, at the time, latest album, SSoASS.
I still have all three, but they are played to shambles.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Wow, good for you, desultory! Not many people start off their collections with such good taste.

My first album was Tears for fears. Songs from the big chair

 

[Collin]

The first album I bought was From Fear to Eternity Iron Maiden. The first album I ever had was George Thorogoods greatest hits album. I was like 3
I don't think I've ever bought a single...

 

[Stevil]

Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction, must have been the summer of 1994 or maybe it was 1995, I forget.

 

[Maturin]

Brave New World by Iron Maiden was the first album I bought, if I recall correctly.

A friend played it and I was instantly hooked. Must have been sometimes in the early 2000's. Still have the copy and played it yesterday.

 

[Wästed The Great]

I think I bought two at the same time: Dokken - Back For The Attack and Def Leppard - Hysteria. Freaking awesome!

 

[Mosh]

Dokken is the best way to start a metal collection.

 

[Wästed The Great]

Amen, brother!

I totally missed out on a Dokken gig about 2 weeks back. I think it was Dokken, Ratt, Sebastian Bach, and some other 80's era bands (I just don't recall them all right now).

 

[Castelle]

The very first albums I ever bought was : The Number of the Beast, Killers - Maiden & Diary of a Madman - Ozzy.
My first ever bought single was Let's get it up by AC/DC
Not bad going since I was only 14 my mates had got me into Metal you see ?
