Thread Name: What was the first record you bought?
Subject: RE: What was the first record you bought?
I made up for Jeepers Creepers later. My first album purchase was The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse by the Bonzos.
I was still living at home then, and my dad became apoplectic on seeing the "tasteful" portraits of the band etc. on the insert booklet. Thank God he never met Vivian Stanshall.
Could have been worse, I might have waltzed in with a Frank Zappa album.
Now of course, my son turns up with heavy metal CDs. I really upset him the other day when he left a copy of "Motley Crue - Loud as F*$k" around. I pointed out that this should have read "Folk" and got a very dusty reply.
