Still my favorite album to listen to on vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schurkey 135 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Mid-'70's sometime. Got a "stereo" all-in-one system from GE for Christmas. Turntable (changer), "amplifier" and two speakers, all in a single big plastic housing, Folded-up for portability. I just found it again in my mother's closet (I'm cleaning out her house.) I bought three albums from some mail-order outfit. Danged if I remember what titles they were. Perhaps two from Jim Croce, and one from Procol Harum??? When I get back to her place again, I'll likely find those albums; if so I'll post again to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could say more in a 1.5 minute song, than a lot of song writers can say in an entire album. And on top of that, no matter who you are, you can relate to his songs...

PDR 1,192 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'm pretty sure my first album was given to me about 1970 by mt grandpa. It was a Tex Ritter....Cant remember the title, but I can remember the cover, and my favourite song was "Greedy old dog with a bone" I played the shit out of that record in my 10th year. The first album I bought was a K-tel hits something or other. It had the Raspberries "Go all the way"...I loved the guitar riff. I didnt really get serious with music until I was 13 and learned how to play guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
