I remember buying my first one in 1973 in London.
I was 10 years old and on holiday with my parents. It was a present from them. Ofcourse it was Goat's head soup that had just been released! I even remember the street: Carnaby Street. Still the proud owner of that LP  With the striking little poster of the goat's head flaoting in the soup. |

For my 13th birthday in 1973, my Mom got me "Goat's Head Soup" on the advice of an uncle (Thanks, Unk!). For some reason known only to my Mom, she also got me a "Statler Brother's" 8-track. Guess which one I listened to?
Clue: This isn't a Statler Brother's website!!!!

August 2001, New Caanan CT. My grandmother had brought me home from a camp where a speedfreak friend of mine (poor guy, he's really out of his skull 90% of the time now, not even his fault, he's prescribed the stuff) from NYC introduced me to Let It Bleed. I was so in awe of it I nabbed it from him every chance I got and played the crappy ABKCO CD until it was scratched beyond recognition. I at first panicked because the track listing was incorrect and thought "maybe it's a new edition... man, that'd suck not having "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at the end." But after consoling myself with the fact that I could always program my CD player to play it another way, I shelled out the $17 for it.
It was the same store where I'd bought The White Album a year earlier...
...and from then on I was hooked. Next I bought Beggar's in London, actually, at the Virgin in Picadilly, then Sticky Fingers, Aftermath and Tattoo You back home, then got Exile and December's Children for Christmas.
Damn.

First album by anybody I bought was The Rolling Stones Now! I think it was sometime during the third Triassic Period, several millenia before the invention of fire.

I was already a great fan of the boys when I finally went out and bought my first Stones album. I believe it was December of '98, maybe November, and I had enough cash to get a disc of my own (I'd previously borrowed from my dad and uncle). Went to the local Hastings Entertainment place in Boise, ID, and bought Rock and Roll Circus for $17.00. I went home, explored the luxurious packaging (for me, at the time), and had my socks thoroughly rocked off.
I think the next one I bought on my own was Flashpoint, but I could be wrong. I know I got the Singles Collection for Christmas that year, but that was a present.
Ah, beginnings... |

Hot Rocks the year 2000, blown away, particularly by the Rambler live version which I will never forget first hearing, hooked from then on. Then there was Sticky Fingers and the rest soon followed...

When I was a kid my father was a huge Beatles fan. He had every Beatles lp and 8 track availible at the time. He also had a copy of "Now". I listened to this eight track untill it wore out. He was so happy that I liked Rock N roll that he bought me almost all the their recordings before I was old enough to earn money. I still dont care for the Beatles. The First Record I purchased on my own was The New York Dolls in "Too Much Too Soon". |

Had a cool teacher record Some Girls and Tattoo You onto tape from albums for me to take on my SR. trip. While on the trip I bought Sticky Fingers and Hot Rocks on cassette at, I believe, K-mart. So you don't have to feel so guilty anymore Fiji. |

First Stones album I bought was Thru The Past Darkly with it's oddly shaped cover. It was at Gordon's Department Store in Mifflintown and it had just come out so it was fall '69. I was 12. I asked my mom if she'd buy it for me, as it was only $1.99 - that's what the tag said. Turned out that part of the number had rubbed off and it was $4.99, which was a higher price than albums had been - a dollar higher, and dadgum it that was back when a dollar WAS a dollar - but my mom didn't balk, she paid that insanely high price. FIVE BUCKS! This thing better be good.
Of course, it WAS. I was already a Stones fan - had recently purchased the Honky Tonk Women single (w/pic sleeve) at the same store, and had absorbed my brother's singles of JJF and LSTNT/Ruby Tuesday (also pic sleeve) for a few years.
You know, I coulda sworn I got Let It Bleed first, but I checked the chronology, and that didn't come out until Jan 1970 - which means that everyone who heard "Midnight Rambler" on the '69 tour was hearing it for the FIRST TIME! Geeesh!
Anyway, I was a regular customer at Gordon's, and bought Let It Bleed, Jamming With Edward, and Beggar's Banquet (in that order) over the next six months. These were formative years, o gentle reader, and the young Monkey came through them CHANGED. Throughout the 60s I'd been a Beatle fan, but when the nasty new decade reared its head, it was obvious that I needed to change my allegiance. And change it I did. |

My first Stones possession was the Angie/Silver Train 45 (1973, Atlantic/ATCO/Cotillion)-- a hand-me-down from my sisters. I'm fairly certain it was purchased on a trip to England to visit relatives. My family had recently returned from Saudi Arabia, and I seriously doubt they bought it over there! This post prompted me to fish it out; it's in excellent shape, even the sleave... I think I'll give it a spin now.
My first Stones purchase: Tattoo You cassette at Camelot Music, Westmoreland Mall, Greensburg, Pennsylvania. And it remains a thrill ride catching up on everything before, between, and beyond these two items . . .

Jumpin Jack Flash in 1968 when I was 10.
Insisted my parents stump up the cash having heard it that morning on BBC's "Childrens Favourites" (!)
Was strangely fascinated at that tender age and for years after by the concept of being 'schooled with a stap right across my back...'.
Made me the man I am today...

Funny thing this. I'd always been fascinated with the band, but didn't actually start buying their records until 'Love You Live'....My first album was a trade though, ELO(A New World Record), for an Aussie compilation called STONES(how original), that was October, by Christmas that same year I'd accumulated half the official releases to that time...By hook, or by crook. |

In 1987 (when I was 13) my parents bought their first cd-player and to celebrate my brother and I each got our first cd for X-mas. Funny (or sad...)enough, my brother got dirty Work and I got a Madonna cd. We 'exchanged' 2 years later: I confisquated DW from my brother's room since he never played it!
Then I started babysitting and the father of that family owned every Stones album on vinyl. I would bring along cassttes and he would tape them for me.
The first thing I actually bought myself was the cassette of Steel Wheels (I only owned a cassette player back then).
Later, when I moved out, I started buying everything else. I also 'stole' most of my mum's Stones vinyl, like the Some Girls LP (Dutch orange vinyl) and the 'Through the past darkly' LP with that octagone (?) shape. Also her 7" of Heart of stone.
Those were the days my friend, when I still had to discover everything... |

Angiegirl said, "those were the days my friend, when I had to discover everything"-- How true! One of the best times of my life, and not that my life was so boring that music was all I had, was those 12 months when every cent accumulated went towards another Stones album. Each purchase was like starting another chapter in an epic novel. And of course there would always be another book to read inbetween albums, yes indeed, those were the days! |
