I remember being annoyed with some albums disappearing from Spotify and other music services a few years ago.
This was also at the time I was exploring NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert on Youtube and discovered Idles.
It was just the sound I needed in my life and I had to have a physical copy. The rest is history.
What was your first?

“More Of The Monkees” (Colgems, 1967), second was the Byrd’s “Mr. Tamborine Man” (Columbia, 1965) - still have that one in the collection.
Deep Purple’s Machine Head, bought in 1978 (when I was 5). I liked Highway Star and begged my dad to buy the album for me.
I bought the Invader Zim soundtrack at Hot Topic as a kid. I did not have a record player, but for Christmas my parents got be an amazing boombox w/ 2 tape slots, a 5 CD changer, and a record player on top.
Aerosmith: Greatest Hits (late 70s or early 80s)
Cat Stevens, the album with “Remember the Days of the Old School Yard” on it.
Idles kicks ass! When I was in college I read some article about Hermann Szobel and couldn’t find any digital copy of this weird album that I was curious about, so I bought the record on eBay and borrowed my dad’s old cheap Sony turntable that he had used in college some 40 years earlier. Now I have like 400 records, so I guess that weird old jazz record was a gateway drug.
There are deep cuts and deep cuts… 😂
Depeche Mode - Violator … <3
@Procedure8295 My parents have a pretty large collection of vinyls from the communist era, albeit most of them being under the Electrecord label. I can’t remember anything too interesting from their collection, though, and now their record player is also broken (it needs a new needle). I have a few friends that collect vinyls, though, and they got me into this hobby as well. After I bought a cheap record player, I got this disk to test it out from a store selling 2nd hand vinyls. I remember I was amazed by how well it sounded.
“19th Nervous Breakdown” 45 Beatles VI - Album
Didn’t get into vinyl until the 2000s. I think Spoon - Transference was my first record.
