We still have our massive 8-track collection in the garage. It's weird
listeneing to Abba on CD because I am so used to hearing only half od "Dancing
Queen" when the tracks switch (CRRRRCCCHK!) and then have the next half of
the song come back in again. Interrupting a song... how stupid. I recall going
into record stores and seeing walls of 8-tracks. I'll have to tell my kids
about cassettes one of these days, since they'll likely not know what those
are either.

I remember the first record, 8-track, cassette, and CD I bought. I'm scared
of what my kid is going to say when I pull out a cassette. "Hey, Mom...what's
that thing? Didn't those come out way back in the eighties?" Aargh!!! Just
for the record...
First record - "Mary Poppins" soundtrack
8-Track - Tony Basil "Mickey" (I'm sorry...)
Tape - Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
CD - Siouxsie and the Banshees and Enigma's first album

Mickey? oh God. No. NO!!!!
I don't really recall the first tape and stuff. I think my first single (lp)
was Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Stop laughing... my brother's
first was YMCA by the Village People. My fist record I'm not too sure, but
I do recall being given a BeeGees greatest hits album at age 6 or so. I loved
that album and wore out my Mickey Mouse record player. A few years later I
got the Supertramp's live "Paris" album (well it was a 2 album set) and also
wore that one out. I keep meaning to get the CD. Don't recall my first CD.
I do know my first concert... John Denver, age 6. Rocky Mountain High!!!

They just remodeled the DC Tower Records....When I first moved to DC, the
place was wall to wall lp's. Today there are no "records" in Tower
Records anymore. None. But I guess "Tower CD's" sounds too
cheesy....today kids increasingly have no memory of when vinyl ruled. I
still remember the first cd I ever bought. Springsteen's Born in the
USA...which wasnt a hard choice, the store only had a dozen or so cd's
and that was the only rock selection.. Now its all they have.
Times change!

The first CD I ever bought was Eric Clapton _Unplugged_. I don't remember
what the first vinyl I ever *bought* was, but the first 45 I ever owned was
the Pipkins' "Gimme Dat Ding" and the first LP was the Beatles' _Rubber Soul_.
I got them both from my sisters.

re #108: I'll have to shed a tear for the old DC Tower Records.
Through the last years of the LP era, I used to make a special
effort to get there on parental visits to buy loads of goodies
I couldn't find in East Lansing. Many of my Sheila Chandra and
Malicorne LPs came from there.

Fitz, I think we share a like view in a number of
areas. Like movies. I've gone to a few movies
simply because you've liked them and have never
been sorry to have done so.
Regarding classical music - although I enjoy the symphonies
I have a particular fondness for chamber ensembles and solo
works. More like having an intimate conversation one-on-one
as opposed to a vibrant gathering.
That said, my next CD purchase will probably be Beethoven's
7th Symphony. I've wanted it for a while now, can't believe
I haven't bought one, but I don't know which one to get.
Any advice?

I don't know much about classical, except that I know what I like, and
I like a recording of the 6th (Pastoral) that was done by the Berlin
Philharmonic conducted by Herbert Von Karijan. I can reccommend this highly.
I have a recording of the 7th (Eroica) by Bernstein, and it's OK too.

Nutmeg loves the Beatles, alll the songs by the Beatles, all the Beatles
individually, and ALMOST everyone who was inspired by the Beatles....
and R.E.M. I guess.

Re: Beethoven's 7th.
I wouldn't know if it is in print anymore, but the Jochum interpretation
is beyond compare. He slows the tempo in several moderato spots and
it works. I have never heard as beautiful a performance again.
I have looked through the bins from time to time and I have never found
it. Since the master was analog, I believe that the state-of-the-art of
Digital Master-Pressing-Playback has imprisoned this sublime recording
in plastic solely--forever. (Who's got the Schwann?)
Ok: So, assuming that the unforgettable is unatainable, I think that the
Karajan performances on DG can be trusted to be well-engineered,
reproductions of the work that Toscanini did. Telarc has not always
found the right balance in large member orchestras (but you're sure to
hear the musicians tap their feet). The Columbia recordings of Beethoven
seem flat, muddy and uninspired--like the cheap stuff your mom & dad got
you from Readers' Digest.
How strange that you ask about a work that knocked over the moment I
heard it.

The guitar piece was probably a transcription of one of Bach's
Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello. It is indeed very nice
played on a guitar. But if you listen to all six, played well,
on a cello, you will have had a religious experience. Trust me. ;-)

I just heard Pink Cadillac on the radio last night. Does anyone *else*
remember that song? I think the second to last time I heard it was in
1988!

Cole version?
