Not long ago on a vinyl digging quest I came across what I believe to be was the very first full length record that I ever possessed. It was 1979 and of course it had to be The Bee Gees 'Greatest Hits' , this double LP, triple Gatefold sleeve of mind-blowing happy had pictures of Barry, Robin and Maurice all gracing the inside which for a kid of 10 back then was pretty cool. I'm pretty sure I still have a picture of me holding it somewhere but so far it's eluded me, but one picture I did come find was me with my very first record player.
Who here remembers
their first record player? I do because it was likely from Sears (back then in
Canada I think everything came from the Sears catalogue), the speakers were
plastic, it was white and silver, it had a turntable and a tuner…and it was all
mine.
From speaking
with my Mom I've determined that I probably got it as a Christmas present and
the Bee Gees record was either included or I got it for my Birthday a few weeks
before.
Just wanted to share
a bit of history that helps establish where my love of music started.
