Here is the song list

And no I didnt buy it for the Church, or lion sleeps tonight..

I think the 2 songs that really hit me were Depeche mode..and Pete Shelley..I know Neil is cringing now..

Label Blue Horizon

Professional reviews


Fleetwood Mac is the self-titled debut album by the rock group Fleetwood Mac, released in 1968 (see 1968 in music). It is a far cry from the crystalline rock that is found on their later albums, Fleetwood Mac (1975) and Rumours (1977). This album is British blues with flourishes of psychedelic rock. The vocals are shared between Peter Green and second guitarist Jeremy Spencer.

To avoid confusion with their 1975 self-titled album, this album has been re-issued as Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. An expanded version of this album was included in the box set The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions.

Track listing

1. "My Heart Beat Like a Hammer" (Jeremy Spencer) – 3:31
2. "Merry-Go-Round" (Green) – 4:19
3. "Long Grey Mare" (Green) – 2:12
4. "Hellhound on My Trail" (Johnson) – 2:04
5. "Shake Your Moneymaker" (Elmore James) – 3:11

My first record in 72 (I was 15 and it was first pay of the summer earning $1.25 an hour) was Machine Head from Deep Purple on which was Smoke on the water but my favorite was Lazy because of the intro.

See thats my problem, zero music credibility as a first dip into music because you guys never had trashy greatest hits compilations in your time, and we were just moving from the disco seventies to the early 80's synth stuff..

Actually one of my other directions beyond this chaff was Jean Michelle Jarre..sheck this trip out..and any aussies out their know what this music was attached to..

The year was 1985...I had moved on from the Ford Maverick I talk of in the music memory thread. I had a 1979 White trans am with a blue bird. The album was actually a cassette. But at least the trans am had more than one speaker. I think it had 3. The album was Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen. I played it everyday on teh way to and from college. I actually wore out 3 cassettes. And yes I bought 3 of them. I was too lazy to dup them.

Here is my first Teenage Angst Album..and anyone who has this record will testify that this song is the worst on the album, but the rest still sound sweet today..underated ..

"Miss Christina drives a 944- satisfaction oozes from her pores" Now I dont drive a 944 but I have 3 Porsches, and have owned many others, and maybe this was the seed?

I was about to jump in here but I though I might like to open it to a guessing game. A few hints- My sister and I already had Meet The Beatles, The Beatles Second Album, Something New, and pretty much the albums through the White Album due to a teen age baby sitter named Barbara. The first album I bought with my own money came out in 1968 and only had 6 songs on it (I think).

What do you think?

As I type this I am hearing Dick Hyman's The Minotaur playing randomly in my shuffled iTunes progrock playlist.

The Magical Mystery Tour Double EP perhaps

No, that was repackaged into a single album in the US by Capitol anyway.
