Okay, we all want them, but nobody wants to buy 'em. Does that mean we should take up a collection, have them shipped to Eddie, and just let whatever happens... happen? Just sayin. Another question: I notice that the artwork for "Stink" includes a reproduction of... okay, I don't know the word for it, but what the hell, "LP jacket scuff", the circular imprint of the actual LP inside the jacket that results from rubbing against other LP jackets on the shelf (and is obviously not part of the original artwork).

My second purchased album was "Barabajagal" by Donovan. I remember asking my parents for Lennon's "Imagine" for Christmas the year it was released ('71 I think). My father, older and rather conservative, scoffed at the request saying that Lennon was "promoting Communism." So I turned to my grandmother and asked her for the album. Much to my delight it was there Christmas day... - - c ps: My father refused to let me see the Rolling Stones at the Forum in Inglewood in '72 because he said they were the "center of the drug culture." He caught me climbing out the window to sneak off to the concert (I had tickets).

Come to think of it - the first album I bought on the actual Day of Issue was (and I remember standing in line to buy it) Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon.

For me, the 45s -- both (semi-fortuitously) eternally known forever after -- were "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen and "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith. First LP bought was maybe..."Venus and Mars" or "Band on the Run"? Maybe the Beatles "Blue" compilation? (I do recall "Ram" as the first LP I owned outright, but that was a gift; "Sgt. Peppers" was appropriated frm my mother's thin collection about the same time (very early '70s)).

Most likely, something by the Beatles, probably bought in the early '70s when I was around ten. LP: Either Alice Cooper's _Killer_ or, uh, Zager & Evans' _The Album That Has "In the Year 2525 On It"_ whatever that might have been called. CD: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark _Organisation_. Like a lot of people, I bought a CD or half-dozen before I even bought a player.

Those two songs are probably together on a lot of compilations. They're both pretty fucking ace, too.
