Youri McAnespie Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) After an extended loan of 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' off a mate of my sister (both a handful) I was bought 'Prince Charming' as a Christmas present. My sister (flat) said I used to go nuts to 'turning Japanese' and 'lip up fatty' and was partial to Man Parrish and Kraftwerk. I think the Miami Vice theme by Jan Hammer was the first vinyl I bought myself - my mam probably there too. What were your first loves?

Fuck knows why I was taken there I could barely walk let alone rollerskate. I think ACDC was being played. The old Burnden Fives indoor gaff was 'The New Nevada' it stank of old chip fat.

Site Supporter Spider Posted February 10, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2022 First vinyl I owned was London Calling by The Clash which my brother bought me. Was a double album and I wore it out. He also bought me Thriller at the same time and if I’m brutally honest I wore that out too. first album I bought with my own money was Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden, but I basically listened to whatever my brother had lying around. That varied from some crooner called George Benson through to the Buzzcocks and and Joy Division. He’s a musical patchwork, by big bro.

Not in Crawley Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Oddly enough mine was a copy of Kings of the wild frontier as well that my cousin gave me after the 'grew out' of them. Was my first band t-shirt as well - one of the crappy print on places you used to get in seaside towns. In the same lot he gave me a few singles - Love Cats, Bow Wow Wow and Ghost Town if I remeber. Still love Adam and the Ants, Drik Wear White Soxs often gets a play. Xerox Machine, Car Trouble - great songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted February 10, 2022 Members Share Posted February 10, 2022 First Single - Kris Kross - Jump (BANGA) First album - Michael Jackson - Dangerous First Gig - Wu Tang Clan. Coincidentally also the first time I smoked weed. Threw up after the first hit. Good thing I knocked it on the head after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted February 10, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2022 MacArthur Park by Richard Harris for my mum. I got it from that shop on Brackley St in Farnworth. First time she played it, it stuck at 'someone left the cake out, someone left the cake out, someone left the cake out. We kept it because it wound my dad up. Best 2/6 I've ever spent.

ErnestTurnip Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Work Rest And Play EP by Madness, got it home and it was warped so had to go back to town and get it changed.

Not in Crawley Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I honestly don't recall the first album I bought with my own money. Would have been Metallica or The Black Crowes, something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 I was very much one for taping off the radio, I physically bought with my own money 'Bad', I think I also bought 'Kick' - I mainly stole records after that, we stole a load of Stone Roses 7"s once and smashed them on the floor walking home. I actually paid for 'Among the Living'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
