What Beatles Anthology? Didn't that chit come out in `95? I assuming you mean in 1983.

I started buying records in 1978. "Grease" was my first album also and "Hot Number" by Foxy was my first 45.

I can remember my first four albums which were all double albums:

1. Grease
2. Saturday Night Fever
3. Live and More - Donna Summer
4. Bad Girls - Donna Summer

When I bought my fifth album, "Hot Box" by Fatback, I felt disappointed because it was only one record.

My first double album was this one:

I played the hell out of that Grease soundtrack. My first 7" was "Hot Line" by The Sylvers. Some of the other early singles I had were Rose Royce's "Car Wash", The Jacksons' "Enjoy Yourself", "Muskrat Love" by the Captain & Tenille etc., but I didn't buy any of those--my parents got them all for me. Like I said before, I didn't start buying records with my own money until a few years later.

I used to rock the B-side to Hotline. : )))

Damm I'm so young compared to u guys...I never had a vinyl record1

And the second?

CinisterCee said:

no...

This one:



23/5/00 - Estadio Do Restelo, Lisbon, Portugal

I was a big Pearl Jam fan in the late 90's.

The Madonna phase only started when Music was released...

I don't remember what was on the b-side. I don't even know what happened to my 7". It has since been replaced with this:

Start buying some now!

I need a turning table and some serious money!

I love my turntable. I have over 60 Madonna 12" singles so I need something to play them on.

sextonseven said:

ur a madonna fan?

MikeMatronik said:

I'm not sure. I don't have all her albums. At one point I did, but I realized I preferred listening to the singles mostly and sold the albums I liked the least. I kept the first album, Like A Prayer, Erotica, Ray Of Light, Music, Something To Remember, American Life and Confessions. Everything else is gone. I really can't resist a Madonna 12" however. I love listening to her extended versions and remixes. I finally got the "Jump" double 12" this week.

At the age of seven. My dad took me to buy "Sex Machine Today" by James Brown. That was the summer of '75. Then for Christmas of the same year, Mom took me to the mall to buy "Everybody's Doin' The Hustle And Dead On The Double Bump" by James Brown as well!!!!!

I STILL USE BOTH OF 'EM!!!!!

I realized True Blue is plays like a singles collection, and the weaker material ("Jimmy Jimmy") I could easily sluff off like a uteral lining.

Y'all goig to laugh I was 16 when I bought my first tape. It was 3 rap singles . They were M.C Breed Aint no future in your frontin,D.J Quik Born and raised in Compton and Yo-YO You cant' play with my YO-Yo. My uncle bought me my first album at age 10. the album was Thriller by Michael Jackson.

I didn't like 'True Blue' at all, especially the fake calypso of "Love Makes The World Go Round".

That was the first record to be sold--poster and all!

sextonseven said:

so it wasn't my imagination - that's what she was trying to do! That's the other track I don't like.

True Blue and Like a virgin are the worse albums madonna ever released!

Especially Like a virgin...

TommyRoss said:

Cool

I remember some of my early 45s too:

Hot Number - Foxy
Chase Me - Con-Funk-Shun
Boogie Wonderland - Earth, Wind, and Fire
I Wanna Be Your Lover - Prince
Shake Your Groove Thing - Peaches and Herb
Shake Your Body Down To The Ground - The Jacksons
In The Navy - The Village People

MikeMatronik said:

Wrong-o. How can you say this then make a thread for "Let It Will Be" when the Papa Don't Preach strings are from True Blue?

And Like a Virgin is a damn template for Madonna's pop flavor.

Both albums have some of the 80s biggest songs.

Like, wha?

Seriously that makes me want to get rid of everything post-Bedtime Stories.

CinisterCee said:

Sorry but Like a virgin was a sellout album...she did it to be sucessfull...

CinisterCee said:

I would choose the 'Like A Virgin' LP over 'True Blue', but I liked the singles from 'True Blue' more.



I didn't like that album either. To me Madonna and R&B don't mix.

MikeMatronik said:

In the process creating some of the decade's defining fashion and ANTHEMS: "Material Girl", "Like A Virgin" etc

vainandy said:

Back in '78 I LOVED that song--so much that I asked for the entire 'Destiny' album instead of the single. The best version though is on the European 12". It sounds more club-friendly.
