I remember being annoyed with some albums disappearing from Spotify and other music services a few years ago.
This was also at the time I was exploring NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert on Youtube and discovered Idles.
It was just the sound I needed in my life and I had to have a physical copy. The rest is history.
What was your first?
@Procedure8295 My parents have a pretty large collection of vinyls from the communist era, albeit most of them being under the Electrecord label. I can’t remember anything too interesting from their collection, though, and now their record player is also broken (it needs a new needle). I have a few friends that collect vinyls, though, and they got me into this hobby as well. After I bought a cheap record player, I got this disk to test it out from a store selling 2nd hand vinyls. I remember I was amazed by how well it sounded.
Aerosmith: Greatest Hits (late 70s or early 80s)
Deep Purple’s Machine Head, bought in 1978 (when I was 5). I liked Highway Star and begged my dad to buy the album for me.
Cat Stevens, the album with “Remember the Days of the Old School Yard” on it.
“More Of The Monkees” (Colgems, 1967), second was the Byrd’s “Mr. Tamborine Man” (Columbia, 1965) - still have that one in the collection.
