Flashpoint

The first one

Steel wheels was the first album coming up..

Remember listening to the Stones in my fathers car all the time when I was seven years in 1988. Ruby tuesday came on and I was sold forever. 22 years later I´m still sold and I wish they will still bring us more in years to come I neeed to reach 30 shows before I retire

Goat's Head Soup!

The Rolling Stones Now!

In 1964, when I was four, my seven-year old older brother got 12x5 for Xmas. I've been hooked ever since.

We had older cousins who lived nearby in New Jersey and would bring over their new albums to play when they were babysitting us. Through them, my sibblings and I heard all kinds of things from the Beatles and Stones to the Kinks and the Dave Clark Five at a relatively early age. Seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan is probably the first thing I can distinctly remember.

Summer of 1970 -- YaYas

It was UK-album The Rolling Stones No 2 released 15 januari 1965..

Black and Blue.

1965:

GET OFF OF MY CLOUD

1969,Let it Bleed.

YA YA was the 1st album I bought but BLACK & BLUE was the first album released a few months after I discovered the Stones.
That's part of why I lke it so much .

I bought the Rolling stones first album on vinyl at a flea market for 50p....

Loved it!

Then got Steel Wheels on CD....

Voodoo Lounge, unless you count Wandering Spirit.

Well since Mixed Emotions was released ahead of it, Steel Wheels would be the official first album released. Loved, and still do love, that song. Same year received the London Years for Christmas, then came Flashpoint, and in the lull between that and the true masterpiece in their vast cannon, I picked up IORR, which I must admit I found very disappointing at the time. Of course, it's grown on me much more since then! ><

Circa 1965.. december's children
My older brother had got live & then kid brother became obsessed... I got everything aftermath and beyond

...First U.K album......a long time ago..!!!....

I was fascinated by my brother's "She's a Rainbow/2000 Light Years" single, so I bought TSMR as my first Stones album. It had already been out a while, so the firt album to be released after I became a fan was Beggars Banquet. I think I was about 11 or 12, but completely blown away! I still have that TSMR album, complete with 3-D cover! It's in pretty crappy shape, however.

It's in pretty crappy shape, however.

That's how an old Stones record have to look like in a pretty crappy shape

Still Life!

I had been aware of the Stones from the early 70's onward mainly due to Satisfaction on AM Radio and later Brown Sugar, Miss You etc. but I was a little kid.

Tattoo You came out when I was 15 and that's when I REALLY started to dig the band. When Still Life and the movie came out, I was all over it. I even drug a girlfriend to see LSTNT in the theater in '83 (she was a good sport about it).

I had a summer job driving a courier route 11 hours a day in 1984 and played my Still Life cassette every day. Just because of that summer, I have probably heard Still Life more times than any other record I ever owned. Still love it, though I don't play it every day.

aftermath--back in 1965

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

Became a fan when Some Girls came out, so I guess that would make it Emotional Rescue.

For me it is Shine a Light, I have been a fan about three years, with SAL released a year later. That sounds pathetic I know, when compared to people here who have been fans for 30, 40 years.

I had been aware of the Stones before I became a fan, I knew they did "Brown Sugar" and "Satisfaction" but not much more. I knew "Start Me Up", "Miss You" and "Hand of Fate" amongst other songs, but didn't know they were theirs. Once I found out they were I realized that most of the songs I liked were by them. That was when I moved onto the bootlegs,where guitar effects I liked the Stones used in live shows, further adding to my like for the band.

Funnily enough I also remember the Voodoo Lounge tour, even though at the time I was a kid and would have had no reason to take any notice of it. When I began watching videos of the band, I recognized the stage, with the glass-like panels next to the video screen, and remembered it off news clips of it at the time, probably when they were on Europe 95.

I think you mean "I even dragged a girlfriend..."
But then again (fond memories of Quaaludes...), maybe you said what you meant

in the summer of '65, the biggie was 'Satisfaction'. I was 9 then and got the biggest kick in watching the old bitties across the street... their expressions on their faces, when I'd be singing 'I CAN'T GIT NOOOOOO ... " Priceless!!

Anyhow, that September came a re-run of Shindig, and I had asked my then 18-year old sister if we could watch it, cuz I wanted to see the Stones doing 'Satisfaction'. She reluctently gave in (mainly cuz I wouldn't give up bothering her if she didn't lol), and we watched it. They came on to do 'The Last Time'. I remember being kinda upset that it wasn't 'Satisfaction', but it dawned on me that I had heard the song before, but didn't know they did it. First thing that kinda caught my eye (of all things) was this 'funny shaped guitar' the blonde dude was playing. Then they showed him close up... and I was HOOKED! LOL

3 days later, my sister bought me 'Out of our Heads' ... and that was the beginning of my love for 'the greatest R n R band in the world' ... and for Brian too!

To Cotchford Farm, out by the pool...

What a drag it is they couldn't revive him"

Brian Jones 2/28/42 - 7/2/69

The Rolling Stones 64

"Out of our heads", but I didn't buy it at once, have to save some pocket money first.
But the first album I bought "fresh from the factory" was "Their Santanic" and it was because of the 3D cover, I had save money to buy "High Tide and green grass", but when I saw the new one with the coolest cover ever ! I HAD to buy iy !
The music for a seven year old on "Santanic" was a little bit disaponting.
