I remember being annoyed with some albums disappearing from Spotify and other music services a few years ago.

This was also at the time I was exploring NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert on Youtube and discovered Idles.

It was just the sound I needed in my life and I had to have a physical copy. The rest is history.

What was your first?

@Procedure8295 My parents have a pretty large collection of vinyls from the communist era, albeit most of them being under the Electrecord label. I can't remember anything too interesting from their collection, though, and now their record player is also broken (it needs a new needle). I have a few friends that collect vinyls, though, and they got me into this hobby as well. After I bought a cheap record player, I got this disk to test it out from a store selling 2nd hand vinyls. I remember I was amazed by how well it sounded.

Deep Purple’s Machine Head, bought in 1978 (when I was 5). I liked Highway Star and begged my dad to buy the album for me.
