The beatles influence thread cause this thought to pop into my head... It was about 1979, I think, and I kept hearing this one song on the radio and I thought "I wanna buy that single". So I went down to the local upscale GROCERY STORE and was browsing through the RECORDS, 33 1/3rds and 45s. I'd usually stop and look at the BOSTON album covers or maybe QUEEN: NEWS OF THE WORLD. (kept staring at the face of the guy falling...) anyway I then bought my single... 
oops, I mean... 
Michael Jackson's ROCK WITH YOU single
Other early "record" memories were playing "funky town" over and over. and listening to Pink floyd: Dark side of the moon, LAYING ON THE FLOOR WITH MY HEAD STUCK BETWEEN TWO OMEGA SPEAKERS, and I wasn't even on drugs!

I still have the album. |

All these years, all the crap I have bought...I still haven't picked up that album. Their covers of "Summer Breeze" & "Listen To The Music" from that record are great.
I did just recently pick up two of their earlier ones... Brother, Brother, Brother & Giving It Back.
One thing's for sure: They knew how to cover someone's else's stuff.

First gig was Genesis with Peter Gabriel in 1973 and I can remember going to Virgin Records, the day after and spending £1.79 on "Selling England by the Pound"

| | | I'm having a hard time remembering what album I bought first.
I do recall buying a lot of 45s before I got into LPs.
"Light My Fire" by The Doors on Elektra Records & "Candida" by Dawn were two of my earliest.
I do recall getting these 3 on my 12th birthday-
Jackson 5- ABC "ABC" & "The Love You Save" were big hits.
Santana- Abraxas "Black Magic Woman" & "Oye Como Va" were hits at the time.
Led Zeppelin- III (Cool cover & name...had never heard them when I picked it out).
I do vividly recall the first Jazz album I bought with my own cash...George Benson's Bad Benson on CTI Records.
At the time I was 17 & had extremely long hair(like an American Indian)...my friends thought I was joking when I got in line with that record.
My local FM-Rock/AOR station of choice back then used to slip in "Take Five" & "My Latin Brother". Both tunes were about 7+ minutes long with stretched-out guitar & electric piano solos. I didn't ven know Benson played guitar until I saw the album cover!
