ENGLAND'S NEWEST HITMAKERS IN 1964 - I was 11 years old - a few years later had to buy second copies of their first 5 lp's since I wore my originals out. Still have all the old vinyl!
My brother had Hot Rocks and Exile. He turned me onto Hot Rocks (I wasn't quite ready for Exile!). I went out and got Made in the Shade. Been collecting ever since!
Made In The Shade - I was 13 years old at the time of it's release.
Born in '63, I was brought up with Stones being played all the time by my older brother and aunt, whether hearing them on the radio or on our cheap little old record player
But it wasn't until I was a young teenager that I invested in them with my own time and money. I spent hours, days, and weeks listening to this vinyl compilation. I still own it...scratches, snaps, pops, crackles, squeaks, and all. It's priceless to me.
"Tell me" single. The first of Jagger-Richards out in France , back in 1964. I was 10. Outdated, but .....I wanted to buy " Carol" which drove me into the Stonesland. The latter was thus my second buy.
Singles Collection, of the London Years, that was some years ago, went with my father, and I found that one... had only listened to the Stones on radio, but after that, I gave my heart to it..!
i first got into the stones in 1972...my 1st album, my mom got me was got live if you want it.. loved it.. then the rolling stones now...then let it bleed, beggars, get your ya yas out... funny thing was i got all the old stuff first and didn't even know brian jones was dead.. kind of grew up with them.. saw them on every tour starting in 1975...1st saw their movie in 1972..loved them!
The first records I bought were "Some Girls" and "Love You Live" in 1990. Up tp that oint I had X cassettes with Stones. In late 1991 I had all the official records plus 50 bots.
I bought Rewind 71-84 mainly out of curiosity in 1985. I was 16. I was totally hooked. Shortly after I bought the excellent Rolled Gold compilation ( what a pity It's not available on CD) and I became even more obsessed. I couldn't believe my peers were wasting their time listening to Madonna, Dire straits, U2 etc and all those other big 80's acts. Like the essay says in the inner sleeve of the vinyl copy of Rolled Gold - 'If your'e looking for anything better in this field, don't bother, none has been recorded.'
Dad gave me Love you live in '87 when I was 14 but I'm pretty sure I bought the Decca release with JJF and some other songs on one side and live material on the other. I had all the studiosongs except for JJF. Rolled Gold was probably the next one. I craved for Black n Blue. A friend had IORR. Mid 70.s era and Brian Jones did it for me.
I was born in 1982 and the first album i bought at the time was Dirty Works in 1986. Not bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a fan of the Rolling stones since i was 4 years old!!!!!!!!!
