Getting In Early
I've been listening to Mojo's free CD 'Beyond Saturn', which is linked tenuously to Paul Weller's new album. Neu!'s Negativland is one of the tracks. It got me thinking about how I'd like to meet the blokes who bought this stuff when it came out. Did any woman ever buy this stuff? Bands such as Neu! exist in a past-world present where their music fits with the time, but did anybody buy it when it came out in 1972? So, how about the following list: Velvet Underground First Album - must have been bought in 1967 The Stooges debut album - bought in 1969 The Ramones debut album - bought in 1976 not 1977! I'd like to hear from the people who bought those four albums in the year of release and how they came upon such classics so early on.
