When I was 16, we got new neighbors. They had three kids and couldn't find any babysitters that would take them. But the kids liked me, so, I would make $100 for 6 hours of babysitting each Friday night (and this was 1992), and a good portion of that money went into records, so by the time I graduated HS.....

Had an older brother who handed me down bunches of LPs from when I was very young ...whenever he had doubles or something. So it's murky where my proactive acquisitions began... I remember 'Let It Be' as the 1st LP of my own with the shrink-wrap still on it. But that was surely a B-Day or Xmas gift from mommy. Wouldn't have been too much longer after it was put out ! I started *very* young with the Musics. Collecting every Beatles album a big thing - then TheWho... Oddly perhaps - I don't remember ever buying a 45 new...

Being the youngest of five - my parents were older than a lot of others. My father was an Artist & oil painter of some skill - but otherwise uptight. My mother played violin - but was a Fundamentalist & rather 'Edith Bunker-ish' is best I can describe it. But they were absent more than harsh. My brother was about nine years older than me & blazed a trail thru Psych, Glam, Heavy Rawk & then Punk for me to simply witness without any particular effort.

RR well, it's the worst song on the album! still not bad but pretty forgetable, in my opinion -but that's not the lyrics' fault

I was totally fascinated by album covers, and artwork regarding music in general. When I got my first record, I wrote LOVE in my version of the bands logo in the dust on the trunk lid of our new car. My father was not amused.

at the time i read that the lyrics were written in jail. i'd never heard of Keith Levine and didn't put the pieces together 'till a few years later.
i don't know if the jail story is true.

The Clash were a big deal. The night they played for the first time in L.A. I went with my married girlfriend. Later that night, she caught me with the girl that lived downstairs. As you can imagine, all hell broke loose. That's my memory of The Clash in L.A.

Bollocks is a record I always think has aged poorly until it's playing
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:28pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

All great for sure. I tried to do a Top20 Albums Ever by Anybody - & that's just beyond absurdly few. Put TheClash debut in it but not piSToLS or Ramones. Ramones are Ramones - but is it about Albums? Now that's a great statement about Bollocks ultrad !... Played it every day then - & never now. Whereas I've appreciated TheClash more & more...

my best friend who got me into Record Club of America also had two older brothers -- whenever i would go to her parents' apartment to hang out, we would play records and sing along to them -- her records, but a bunch of one of her brother's too -- Trout Mask Replica was my favorite ("and I will buy you/a cherry phosphate" 🎶🎶)

i think i learned to take care of my records from my Mom when i was still pretty little -- she taught me how to play them on a turntable, how to handle only by the edges, wipe with the little duster before playing, etc. -- she and my Dad still had all their (breakable) 78s, so maybe that is how/why they learned record care!

I'm always trying to get across how awestruck I was as a little kid by things like Beefheart & KingCrimson & even Bowie sometimes. & Suicide & TheCramps in another way. How they made you feel on first exposure.

RR, I was pretty indifferent to David Bowie...that is until I saw him live. I loved Captain Beefheart from the moment I heard him. Seen The Cramps for the first time was a religious experience....with the girl downstairs no less!

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Well I have a particular memory of hearing 'Future Legend' the intro to DiamondDogs seeping from under my brother's door - I'm maybe ten & it's the early 1970s, right? To this day it's about the same when I hear some Bowie writing & how he integrated all the aspects vertically from Concept to Band to Pop Track. Like Alice said - it was another era when you could have mystique about your identity. Glammers seemed like actual Aliens to some extent.
