- 1970
- Some record store in the Cape Cod Mall.
- I was seven and already way into records. I had an older brother and sister and I played theirs, but they didn't have this and I wanted to hear it. I bought it for Venus, but I ended up liking Hot Sand better.

4-at the time the 2 biggest songs on Rock radio in Memphis were Kinks "Destoyer" and Joan Jett "I Love Rock n Roll"...and I loved both songs. To this day I cannot tell you why I chose the Kinks LP over Joan. I remember having to make up my mind in the store. Still have it, and listen to it from time to time.
you make the choice

It was a friday and my mom just got paid. We heard the song about a week earlier and loved it. At the time we would take the bus home when she got off work and the mall was near our transfer. I was 7 years old.

2. 2003

4. That song represented the time in my life when I first fell in love with hip hop.
In 1997 at age 13, I was lucky enough to spend my first year of high school at an international school in Paris. I was exposed to so many people from all around the world who were into many different things, one of them being hip hop. I?d stay up every night and tape rap songs off the radio. This new music was amazing and the French stuff at the time had its own special flavour that I became addicted to.
By the time I returned to France for a holiday in 2003, I had just begun flirting with a record addiction. I saw this gem in a record shop in Nice and picked it up immediately.
1) on the slightly embarrassing tip:
2) im thinking maybe 1978? i was 8 i think.
3) probably Cavages, in some mall, some suburb of buffalo NY
4) i wanted to be like my older brothers and start getting records of my own (that weren't the thrashed 60's hand me down childrens records or the random early 70s pop 45s my older siblings had bought years back and had abandoned). but i had no idea what to buy, so i bought a record my brothers already had! but i learned a lesson about condition that day, as from that day on i had to guard my copy from being switched off with their "partied on" copy.
i didnt buy much else till about 1982, when i started liking the clash, devo, talking heads, bob marley, and wall of voodoo. but i do recall around 1981 i bought the entire doors catalogue second hand from my older cousin at $3 per minty LP.
2) 1996
3) JJ Belgium
4) bought it together with the Endtroducing CD
1) DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World 12"
2) 1997
3) Newbury Comics in Hyannis, MA
4) My skater homie had just bought turntables and I thought DJing looked cool
2) 1997
3) Tower Records, Emeryville
4) Something attracted me to the large format covers.
2. 1999
3. Stress in Bergen, Norway
4. I had just got me some cheap as chips turntables (Gli, the fake brand with the Pioneer innards) in a package deal from some shifty magazine on a visit in America. My brother and a friend of the family gave me a bunch of random hip-hop stuff, so that started it off, but I think the Book of Human Language was the first vinyl I bought by my own with my own money. I remember playing "Wall and Windows" over and over again.
Still wish I'd picked up the instrumental LP as well.
2. mid 90s
3. Bremen, Germany
4. Didn?t even own a record player, but thought it?s just a lot cooler. Really liked jungle & DnB as well, which was all about records and dubplates then.
