I'm happy to say i've still got all the vinyl I ever bought.
Showed my niece the stranglers lp with the '3d' effect on - she tooko th erecord out of the sleeve and said "What IS that".
Ah they'll never know the joy of the gatefold cover, the crackly sound before the song starts - the skill of being able to plonk the stylus right on the bit you wanted your mates to hear.
The science of whether you needed to put a 1p or 2p on the needle to stop it jumping.

Chewing gum - you could place it on the arm at various points to acheive the right balance.
I have a Fats Domino picture disc in red vinyl.
...and i'll never forget my sister endlessly playing Black is Black version by la Belle poque (after a split up with a BF) until finally, thankfully, mercifully it developed a scratch and went Black is Black I wa..kkkkkkk Black is Black I w..kkkkkk Black.... The relief. The peace. The serenity.... until she went right out and bought another bloody copy. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhh.

My mate achieved instant celebrity status at school when he said his mother was a cleaner at Glenn Hughes' (Deep Purple) house. Kids took loads of album sleeves in to school so that he could get them signed. I bet his mom signed most of 'em herself.0

First for me was Siren by Roxy Music. I can remember it well, Scene and Heard in Leeds city centre, 1975 I guess. Still enjoy it to this day, though not on vinyl, which is a bit of a shame.
Trivia alert - the album cover art is Jerry Hall as a "Siren" shot from the exotic location of South Stack, Angelsey 0 -
My first album was by Steppenwolf... their first album called "Steppenwolf).
Contained two of the tracks from Easy Rider... "Born to to be wild" and "The Pusher".“You may think that; I couldn’t possibly comment!”

My cousin John Scott was a member of jilted John , hence the name.
My first record I think was black and white by the stranglers.
Still got it, it came with a ltd edition single in white vinyl called 'tits',but I stupidly sold it to mate in school for 50p,
Bet it's worth more than 50p now though.

Coz thats ow we spake round ere!0 -
My first record was Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper in 1973. Beautiful gatefold sleeve. Songs about being raped and necrophilia were at my tender age of 10 years thankfully a complete mystery. Cracking tunes though. Still got it.0
