Last, First, and Next album purchases

First: Progress - Take That (I hang my head in shame)

Last: Central Belters - Mogwai

Next: Meddle - Pink Floyd

N/A... I have more records and CDs than I listen to.

First: It was a tie. Bought Green Day's Dookie and The Offspring's Smash at the same time when my family first got a CD stereo player.

Last: Black Pistol Fire (self-titled)

Next: Not sure. Suggestions?

I forgot first and last...

last was Portishead's Third on vinyl (just tog et it signed really)

my 1st was probably a 45rpm single either one of the tunes off Billy Joel's "Glass Houses" LP or maybe a Cure or U2 single (I am that old and that's why I am not 100% sure, we are talking 30 years ago)... 1st CDs I got I remember, they were "Classic Queen," U2's "War" and.... I don't remember all of them, shnapp, maybe a Genesis album (it was 1988 or 9, after all... no Nirvana)... but I got them all on the same day with Christmas money from the Northeast Philly Tower records or maybe the Sam Goodie in the mall just north of the city line.... I think the year before my parents had gotten a CD player as a gift from a friend and after listening to all their Beatles and Steely Dan stuff for awhile I started wanting my on records like I had had on vinyl as an itty bitty. I want to say my folks got that CD player for x-mas in 1987....

Next: Not sure. Suggestions?

Do you have "Live at Leeds" yet?

I do not. This the one?

I'll give it a listen now. =)

the deluxe edition's the badass version too... cleanest dirty guitar sound ever! or the dirtiest clean sound, either way.The whole performance is a glorious display of bare bones rockin' out. The live version of "Tommy" makes the LP sound wimpy and overproduced. Oh the dynamics!

I've been chasing an approximation of this sound and Brian May's for years. I only got close to both recently, but the way the may tone is achieved means I can't use the 100% version of the queen sound simultaneously with Pete's tone because the treble boost has to be the 1st thing the guitar sees to get may's tone.... the ac30hw hot channel gets close though, and my traynor 4 channel only gets close to Live at Leeds stock, though I could probably mod it to nail Pete's signature live sound. Plus I have 1 80s Fane and a CTS in the cab and I probably need some older Fanes in a matched pair.... we'll see how this latest ebay auction turns out. My Voxes are equipped for maximum Queen though, just need to tweak the mini-who rig more.....

I am way off on a tangent.

if Live at Leeds doesn't do it for you check out Miles Davis live at Newport, Portishead live at the Roseland or the 2 disc Allman Brother live at the Fillmore East as a next purchase. Can you tell I have been on a live album kick lately, delving into my collection?

oh, and there's also Bowie's live record from the Tower theater here in Philly that I grew up with.... awesomeness abounds!

First - Metallica (Black Album)

Last - Weird Al, Mandatory Fun

Next - No clue yet.

the black album was like my third or fourth album purchase.... I bought it when it came out along with ride the lightning... or maybe kill em all, I forget now

first: dio - Holy Diver (i was born in 1991 tho, its just the first album I owned, would try to shove a cd player in my pants pocket and spend hours at a skatepark)

next: alan fitzpatrick - fabric cd (going to the release party.)

First: Styx, The Grand Illusion

Last: Ghost, Prequelle Exalted

Next: Stxy, The Mission. I already bought this one once, but my wife accidentally left it in the CD player when we scrapped our last ride. This is most unfortunate, as I REALLY love this album. Ah well, this just gives me an excuse to see if they have an actual vinyl album, maybe a deluxe edition of it or summat like. These days, I pretty much only buy albums if they've some kind of collector's edition anyway, what with all the streaming services.

I know, I know. That sounds pretty crappy of me. But it's true. It's just... I mean, my computer don't even have an optical drive on it, my car don't have a CD player. Physical media these days, while I love it to death (and will continue to buy it), it's mostly just for collectors, it seems.
