Sorry to hear about you guys having stuff thrown out. The only thing I lost that way was a bb gun an uncle bought me. My mom tossed that one.

We were forced to sell off a bunch of stuff prior to moving to TN in 1977. My prize possession was a cheap Huffy 10 speed I’d bought with money I got helping an uncle paint my grandmother’s house. I was forced to sell that to help fund our move b/c we were poor and could only take one pickup truck’s worth of stuff with us.

We were pretty poor after my parents divorced. We went from a housing project in Massachusetts to a trailer park in Tennessee!

Owen:
My first album was Tiffany. Will now delete myself.

Although I Think We”Re Alone Now has special relevance at the moment.

I didn’t buy that album but I definitely sat by the radio waiting for it to come on and hit the record button on my tape deck.

Honestly until you mentioned Tiffany I forgot that was a thing I even did.

I started buying vinyl again recently after setting up the turntable and unleashing my collection from the garage…I just bought Foo Fighters- There is Nothing Left to Lose …limited edition pressing…nice…

Whenever I hear I think we’re alone now…I crank it…love that song…

The summer I graduated from high school my dad ( an OCD neat freak) threw out my entire vinyl collection.

yeah, that’s something you’ll never let go…I still hold a bit of a grudge from mom throwing away my monster models and my comic books…she thought they were rotting my soul 🙂

i had a bunch of early 70’s hulk comics that got tossed…still trying to let go of that 50 years later…

now that’s an interesting question – our fave album our parents had…

I remember really enjoying some album by blood, sweat and tears

dang, even as a kid I was morbid:
Give me my freedom for as long as I be
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally
Don’t want to go by the devil, don’t want to go by the demon,
Don’t want to go by Satan, don’t want to die uneasy,
Just let me go naturally
And when I die and when I’m gone,
There’ll be one child born, there’ll be one child born in this world to carry on, carry on

The first record I purchased was a 45 of Billy Preston’s Outa Space, an instrumental that got a lot of air play back in the day. I was an aspiring keyboard player and thought Billy was the shit.

Bo, yeah, I forgot. My mom had one or two albums by the Four Seasons. Weirdly, my mom did not like the Beach Boys. I don’ t know why, but I love ’em, esp. “I Get Around.”

I still have my 70’s copies of Elvis’ Golden Records and Kiss Alive. Just pulled them both out. They’ve survived a lot of moves over the years and remain the oldest vinyl in my collection, though I’ve played neither in a very long time…

Speaking of “I Get Around,” watch Dennis Wilson steal the show:

When I was growing up, 45’s were more popular than albums. I had a great Beatles and Beach Boys collection . Also Turtles, Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons, Four Tops, the Supremes, and Temptations from Motown. The summer I graduated from high school my dad ( an OCD neat freak) threw out my entire vinyl collection.
