Re: First Alice Album You Ever Owned
I can pretty much relate to this, but my dad was and still is a huge coop fan so i've pretty much been listening to him since birth ahahahahaha.Inmate wrote:Cool stories guys. I've been an Alice fan literally my entire life and when my parents first bought me one of his albums, when I was maybe the age of 2, it was Mascara & Monsters
It was just one of those things as soon as i was old enough to appreciate and want to collect music (around 11) I started getting a coop collection of my own starting with B$B.
The last 3 times the coop has come here I have gone with my dad, younger sister and just recently her 5 year old son.
yep it really is a generation thing, hope we can all do the meet and greet next tour
Re: First Alice Album You Ever Owned
while flipping through my older sister's album collection,I came upon the "killer" album,and remember thinking I needed to see what this was all about,so I got "greatest hits" since I figured that would be a sensible start...NEVER LOOKED BACK!!!
Re: First Alice Album You Ever Owned
I believe Constrictor C-cassette that I copied from a friend, then Trash came out pretty much at the same time and that was the first album I bought and really lit the fire on me as Alice fan
Re: First Alice Album You Ever Owned
...I Fell in love with "Schools out" on first hearing it on "Top of The Pops", but didn't have much money back in them days ( 1972), so, after buying that as a single, ( after asking the lady behind the counter to play the B-side for me, which I also Loved...).
I had to save up my "Pocket money", to buy a second-hand copy of "Killer" from a local (small-time) record store...I hadn't heard too much of Alice at the time, and the "Schools out" album new was too expensive...I also Drooled over a Second hand copy of "Love it to death" in the same stores racks....Anyway, I got Killer home, and played it...the rest, as they say, is hysterical... I went back the next week, and got the LITD....

Re: First Alice Album You Ever Owned
Bought GREATEST HITS with my own money after Christmas 1974 and started the journey...found KILLER next and was completely gone. Have it for the ride into work tonight.

Re: First Alice Album You Ever Owned
I was 13 in 1985 when my neighbors mother (permanently) loaned me her vinyl copy of Welcome To My Nightmare. It's the record that would be the gateway into my super fandom and is still as fresh to me today as it was back then! I never grow tired of it.

Killer... I was 7 years old. Got it the day it came out. Long time fan.
Brought the LP to music appreciation day at school Gallows poster and all. The teacher had a freakin heart attack. Parents not amused.

My older sister loved Love at Your Convenience and bought the whole album - she hated it, I loved it, so I bought the 45 for her and she gave me the LP

Re: First Alice Album You Ever Owned
Mine was Greatest Hits, 80's reissue, with white label. German pressing. Then I bought From The Inside, second hand copy. Then Love It To Death, School's Out, in the same pressings than Greatest Hits. All of that in 1987.
