Discussion of the Day
What was the first album or cassette you ever bought?
mary c07-Apr-21
I so enjoyed Emma Kate's recent discussion on favourite songs for her playlist and then started thinking about the first cassette tape i ever bought- which was in the 80s. It was Human League.
I was a student at a Technical Institute and was living away from home for the first time and in a Halls of residence. Having my music cassette player going was great and i remember friends making those mix tapes with some many great songs on them.

    I don't remember the first album or cassette tape. I do remember the first CD i bought which was Jimmy Barnes album Two Fires. I still enjoy it today.

      Elvis Presley and I left it in my Father's car and it bent. I can't remember what he used, something hot I think, and was able to save it bar one track that had a big burn mark on it. I still have the album. Loved Elvis.

                                  After a pretty big spat I got a 78 shellac recording of Smiley Dawson, I reckon it would have been in 1954 or 1955 and had a version of 'Wild Colonial Boy' on the A' side, I remember having to get an adult to play it on the radiogram because I WASN'T allowed to change the needle or to put the needle on the record because 'you''ll scratch the record'

Album was probably a 60’s maybe Buddy Holly,Big O or Gene Pitney not sure but still got them. In January 1980 I was in Nashville and got a 3 record set of Elvis. 1 had a full color photo on it as part of the make up. Still got it but no player so may have to find a place to convert to CD
