Buying this pretty much forced my parents to buy me a Panasonic 'music centre' just so they wouldn't have to listen to it anymore.

Gosh, I remember those album sleeve mirrors. They must be collectors' items these days.

Some great albums on here so far, I'm now in the mood to dig the vinyls out.

My first was Queen : Jazz. It was a gatefold album and had the added bonus of stacks of naked models on bikes on the inside cover.

A bit OT, but I think the company did a few different albums (a T.Rex one was one of them, I think). The 'For Your Pleasure' one was re-done sometime later but bigger - a photographer friend had one. It seems the older smaller ones are much more rare, though. Bought mine from a second-hand shop in Hull in the early-1990's for a couple of pounds - it is still in its plastic-fantastic frame! Not sure how much they are worth (if anything) these days.

That is a very special record to me. It was Lonnie Donegan that inspired a lifetime interest in black American folk and blues music. Because of this record I took myself off to Gants Hill library and borrowed a Leadbelly album, and that was it - I was hooked.

My classmates at school thought I was weird because I was listening to Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, when they were all enjoying Freddy And The Dreamers. A love of jazz followed in turn. Lonnie Donegan is certainly the most influential musician in British Rock history, but regrettably chewing gum and dustmen spoilt his reputation.

To this day I believe that ‘How Long Blues’ on this collection is the best performance of a blues number by any British musician.

I cannot remember for sure, but it was possibly Spreading The Disease by Anthrax.

David Bowie, Diamond Dogs

[generationx]

It was either Abba: Greatest Hits (1) or Arrival. Shortly followed by ELO: Discovery

When I bought it in summer of 1973, aged 10, going on 11, for £1.88 from Harlequin Records in Wembley, I had no idea it would turn out to be such a cool first LP to buy.
