My first record collection

Dad’s hand-me-downs, stolen from abandoned jukeboxes, long visits so record shops in downtown

  1. George Michael

    George and this record was a sexual awakening for a young James. Father Figure is an all-timer

  2. I love this record so much that I was gifted it on two separate occasions. Turns out my mother-in-law was not entertained by this collection lol

  3. The Cure

    If Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me is The Cure’s best pop record, Pornography is their greatest of their more emotional side. The duality of this group is remarkable

    P.s. the pressing I have is the most beautiful shade of magenta

  4. You’re not living if you haven’t spun The Wonderer while strolling around the city. Thanks Grandma!

  5. The Cure

    All of Robert Smith’s best pop songs on one beautiful, blue toned vinyl

  6. blink-182

    Maybe not the best of their work, but this coming out when I was 16 made it one of the most anticipated vinyl presses I’ve lived through

  7. The Cure

    Early adulthood memories will forever be shrouded in the rawness of Pictures of You

  8. Bee Gees

    My dad’s obsession with the Beegees is not lost on me. A young me would have claimed this group the best to ever do it

  9. Johnny Cash

    Cash at his best. The emotion is unmatched from this live performance. Bow to the king

  10. The first Beatles record I purchased. Perfect to spin when feeling nostalgic for family and friends from the past

  11. Michael Jackson

    All-time, definitively most spun record I own. I have purchased new copies and display an original press in my living room at all times

  12. I had a 45 of this song. This was spun many ‘o nights when I was a teen boy

  13. Elvis Presley

    My grandma was an OG Elvis stan. She can recall the day he passed, still makes her emotional

  14. The Cars

    The very first vinyl I was gifted. My dad fished this one from an arcade’s juke box in ‘94

My first record collection is an album list curated by Jamesy Boy.
