"Pearl" was a great album...I got a lot of hand-me-downs. And, I was always more interested in the generation before me- the music that was popular when I was born (1968).
I used to listen to a lot of my parent's albums. And, these were the three I remember most:
I was 17 and this was the bomb.
Still is.
IMO the best album of the 1960s hands down.
At least 3 people in the Led Zeppelin thread said Zep II was their first album. What were some of your first albums, if you can still remember, and how do you feel about them today?
Three that pop to my mind from my undergrad days at UNC are
Cheap Thrills - Big Brother and the Holding Company (Janis Joplin)
It's a Beautiful Day - It's A Beautiful Day
First Taste - Potliquor
I figure most people know the first one, but the others are worth checking out. Although the style of It's a Beautiful Day (and maybe the others, too, for all I know) are out of vogue, I think all 3 have held up quite well.
One Christmas my older brother (13 years older) gave me two cassettes, and my aunt gave me one, that were my first albums ever. They were:
Krokus: Headhunter
Def Leppard: High and Dry
Jim Croce: Down the Highway
Lone Clone emailed me that his first album
was by Abe & Mary Lincoln. It was entitled:
"Living On Borrowed Time"
Do you still have the giant rolling paper that was included?I don't know if this makes me a dork (probably) but my first purchased album was Cheech and Chongs Big Bambu.
did you end up rolling a giant doobie?I don't know if this makes me a dork (probably) but my first purchased album was Cheech and Chongs Big Bambu.

The original big spleef. Back then, it was probably just Mexican “dirt weed” so kind of a waste of good paper. Colombian at that time, however...did you end up rolling a giant doobie?
My first "Lid" was $15. Inflation hit hard. By the time I was out of HS it was going for $35-$40 for really good Panama Red or Columbian Gold.The original big spleef. Back then, it was probably just Mexican “dirt weed” so kind of a waste of good paper. Colombian at that time, however...
That is what some people were saying.
Very similar price point in my experience. Nickel bag for $5, dime bag for $10, etc...My first "Lid" was $15. Inflation hit hard. By the time I was out of HS it was going for $35-$40 for really good Panama Red or Columbian Gold.
Compassionate consumption.Very common practice back in the day,... When I had extra cash in college I could pick up a quarter pound of average weed for around $100, sell three ounces for $35 each and end up with a free ounce and cold 12 pack of beer....
Buy a 1/4 LB, sell three, keep one.Very similar price point in my experience. Nickel bag for $5, dime bag for $10, etc...
The price jump tracked with it no longer being just the users involved in distribution (I knew folks who only sold enough to get their cut for consumption). It was mostly friendly folks passing along fun at just above cost.
The early organized crime/cartel influence was showing up by the time you noted the price jump. It was also then that “the war on drugs” was in its. infancy. CSB.
