My first record collection
Dad’s hand-me-downs, stolen from abandoned jukeboxes, long visits so record shops in downtown
-
George Michael
George and this record was a sexual awakening for a young James. Father Figure is an all-timer
-
The Cure
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
-
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
-
Dion
You’re not living if you haven’t spun The Wonderer while strolling around the city. Thanks Grandma!
-
The Cure
All of Robert Smith’s best pop songs on one beautiful, blue toned vinyl
-
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
-
The Cure
Early adulthood memories will forever be shrouded in the rawness of Pictures of You
-
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
-
Johnny Cash
Cash at his best. The emotion is unmatched from this live performance. Bow to the king
-
The Beatles
The first Beatles record I purchased. Perfect to spin when feeling nostalgic for family and friends from the past
-
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
-
Lionel Richie
I had a 45 of this song. This was spun many ‘o nights when I was a teen boy
-
Elvis Presley
My grandma was an OG Elvis stan. She can recall the day he passed, still makes her emotional
-
The Cars
The very first vinyl I was gifted. My dad fished this one from an arcade’s juke box in ‘94
