The Geoff Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Originally posted by Kramer Ferrington III.: Originally posted by Geoff B.: closely followed by 'Telstar', The Tornados I've never heard Telstar... were The Tornados a sort of "front" band for Joe Meeks? Joe Meek certainly created and produced The Tornados. I think they were more of a challenge to The Shadows at the time. They certainly did a few decent tracks and created a very unique sound for its time. Meek's 'special friend', the bass player, Heinz, went on to have a short solo career before Meek comitted suicide.

Danzilla Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I can't disclose what the first album (yes, vinyl) was that I owned; but lets just say that 1) it was given to me; and 2) it was from someone who's brother was in the Partridge Family. I have not replaced this with a cd nor MP3; nor have I looked for it or thought about it until you brought this topic up. Thanks, 'Zan! First "real" album given to me: The Beatles: Rock'N'Roll Music. First bought by me: The White Album. Hey, I liked the Beatles alot.. in the late '70's. First CD's: Chick Corea Elektric Band (1st) and John Scofield: Loud Jazz, both given to me with my cd player at Christmas ('87?). Sometimes I still listen to these; more likely to pull the Sco out. Then I went out and bought several cd's, including: Dregs: Unsung Heroes; Marillion: Clutching At Straws; GTR; Yes: Close To The Edge; and Crack The Sky: From The Greenhouse. These still get some rotation. "Am I enough of a freak to be worth paying to see?"- Separated Out (Marillion) NEW band Old band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J J Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 when i was probably 7 or 8 i bought a cd at the local county fair from the band "catalepsy." I had no idea who they were (still dont), but at the time i bought it I thought it had a cool album cover. Yeah I know, pretty lame story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruupi Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I really got in to Herb Alpert when I was 8. I still dig the music he was playing back in the 60's. They had great arrangements and a good sound. Kind of a mix of pop with rock beats. My dad had several of their records. The first record I bought was Elton John's "Crocodile Rock". I still can listen to early-mid 70's Elton and like it. Great songwriting and Elton had a great voice. The lyrics were cheesy in my opinion, but the overall sound was nice. I still can listen to this stuff now and enjoy it, as well as Led Zeppelin who kind of took over when I was 15.

picker Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Originally posted by Tedster Lombardo: e...stuff like "Swinging Shepherd Blues" by Moe KaufmanAw yeah! No one can claim to have really been primed for rock n roll if they haven't heard that tune! I heard it on the radio when I was about five, and I used to whistle it all time. Before that, My grandma gave us a bunch of 78s and a little red record player when I was about 4, and I spent a LOT of time listening to Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire" on it., There were other records too, including the little yellow kids records I had, but that one is what stands out in my memory. 12 or 13 years later, Johnny Winter & Rick Derringer did Great Balls of Fire on the Live Johnny Winter And album, and I was in heaven.

Eric Iverson Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 The earliest one I remember was this jazz collection LP, with two songs by Django, "Nuages" and "Melodie au Crepuscule", and Big Bill Broonzy doing "Evil Hearted Me" and a great jazz vocal version of "Loch Lomand" - you take the high road and I'll take the low road, and I'll get to Scotland before ye..." I was about 10,and already hitting record shops and bookstores.. I think that was the day I went and saw King Kong fighting Godzilla, but maybe not.. Of course, I bought lots of rock records later, but always liked jazz and classical, too, 'cause my parents turned me on to it. And now, 42 years later, I still go to bookstores and music stores and libraries... PS: re King Kong vs. Godzilla, I forget who won. Maybe the current King Kong movie will update me!

Shoes Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Okay.... I can answer this honestly and not feel like a complete idiot.. (I think) It was one of those K-Tel record compilations with Derick and the Dominos playing Layla, Sammy Davis Jr. did Candy Man and there might have been a little funk from somebody and Sonny & Cher doing something regretable as well. Several years later I aquired the understanding that Layla was the only song on the record so I carved a groove from the edge to that song and then off to the centre. I could put it on the changer (yes stacked on a record changer!) and it would go straight to Layla and then off. My God it was a terrible noise in those grooves I carved! Yikes! I still think guitars are like shoes, but louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my old man did. Ours was called something like "Jazz Digest", but they keep repackaging those things. It was a fantastic complilation and funnily enough, I've been wanting to get a copy of it. It wasn't Big Bill Broonzy doing "Evil Hearted Me" though, it was a guy called Josh White. Broonzy did "Baby Please Don't Go". EDIT: Actually, they've re released it in 2005, I'm DEFINITELY getting a copy! http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=jazz+digest+josh+white&fr=FP-tab-web-t&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8 Band MySpace My snazzy t-shirt empire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Iverson Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 For me and Vince to both have had that album seems more than coincidental somehow, but I haven't yet figured out how transcendental it is! I don't think it means we knew each in other life or anything.... and my wife is my soulmate, and is jealous of the fact. And Picker and me both liked "Swinging Shepherd Blues" as kids.. Does it mean "great minds think alike?" My soulmate doesn't think I have such a great mind, or at least she often thinks I am wrong... hard to imagine, I know....

phil_harmonic Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Can't recall the 1st record (45) but the first album I ever owned was the Beetles Hey Jude Album (which wasn't really an album was it LOL). I recall at the time debating between it and Abby Road. For some reason chose the one I did. BTW, when I was a kid, I recall going into K-mart and buying any 45 that had a Apple label on it. That's why I can't remember the first record, but you can be pretty sure it was a Beetles song. BTW, eneded up with a Badfinger record using my buying strategy LOL. Remember this song? Come And Get It Lyrics By Badfinger If you want it, here it is Come and get it MMM Make your mind up fast. If you want it, anytime I can get it But you better hurry cause it may not last. Did I hear you say That there must be a catch? Will you walk away From a fool and his money? If you want it, here it is Come and get it But you better hurry 'cause it's goinn' fast. If you want it, here it is Come and get it MMM Make your mind up fast. If you want it, anytime I can get it But you better hurry 'cause it may not last. Did I hear you say That there must be a catch? Will you walk away From a fool and his money? Sonny... If you want it, here it is Come and get it But you'd better hurry 'cause it may not last You'd better hurry 'cause it may not last.

Speaking of coincidences, did you have an album called "Louis And The Good Book" as well? I'm glad they've reissued the Jazz Digest album. I was sort of in the process of buying the individual albums, but that wasn't entirely satisfactory. Originally posted by Eric Iverson: Does it mean "great minds think alike?" My soulmate doesn't think I have such a great mind, or at least she often thinks I am wrong... hard to imagine, I know.... Mine thinks I have a really good mind. On the other hand, she's always pointing out that I'm completely crap at everyday, practical things such as spotting the tube of toothpaste that's on the bathroom shelf right in front of me.

Eric Iverson Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Reminding me of an old drawing I saw of Albert Einstein in a grocery store shopping, completely oblivious to the world around him, writing equations on the shopping bag.. probably bought nothing that was on his list, assuming he HAD a list... Oh, and I remember reading about how Albert was taking a violin lesson and his teacher was giving him a hard time.. "What's the matter, Albert, can't you count?? One, two, three, four...." And most of us normal mortals have enough trouble with E = E and F# = F#, and the E = mc2 stuff we can't figure out how to apply to our music! I guess great minds come in all colors...

The Lone Chicken Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 As a kid in the 60's I listened to several LPs that my late grandma owned, mainly ones by Tom Jones, and also both volumes of "The Best of Bill Cosby" (volume 1 included his famous skit with God and Noah). The first album that I bought on my own, around 1971 or so, was "E Pluribus Funk" by Grand Funk Railroad, and after that it was several Motown records (Diana Ross, The Supremes, Undisputed Truth) as I listened to a lot of soul/R&B as a teenager.
