What were the first records that you bought?

Yes. It was in the section where the blacks lived. Absolutely no hostility in the early 50s there. Before civil rights got going --until the lady Rosa Parks refused to go to the back of the bus in Montgomery,Alabama. I even went to small ,all black night clubs in Fresno with no problems except the girls wouldn't dance with me. Didn't blame 'em. I understood. PS: you did not call blacks ,black in those days ,unless you were partial to knuckle sandwiches. Pat Boone and others "cleaned up" a lot of songs back then for mainstream radio. I used to sit in my Gramma's car in the late 40s,early 50s and listen to gospel coming from LA--mighty XERB,I think. The preachers sounded like little Richard. I knew CHANGES were coming.

jagged lil pill - alanis morissette
bathhouse betty - bette midler
big willie style - will smith

 

Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon

i think it was jimi hendrix smash hits, on cassette

hard to remember, was 13 or 14?

 

The first vinyl I owned were my sister's hnd me downs... Faces, Kiss, Alice Cooper... mostly 70's stuff.

When I was maybe 12 or 13 I joined one of those record club things. "12 albums for a penny." Cassettes were the shit then, so I had a lot of early 80's metal... Motley Crue, W.A.S.P., Iron Maiden, Ozzy and the like.

I still have most of my cassettes in a pine box under the bed....
