[KMCG]

I was an LP entry level.
The first two were T-Rex by T-Rex and A Day At The Races by Queen, given to me by my older brothers girlfriend (later wife).
I loved those albums and picked up a David Bowie Greatest Hits LP thereafter.
My first soundtrack LP was one of those cheap Star Wars knock-offs (Bruce Baxter plays Themes from Star Wars) but I got the legit 20th Century Fox Records 2LP set for my birthday soon after (I did have a 7′ single of Jaws Main and End Titles on MCA Records, which was my very first John Williams purchase).
Next came CE3K and Superman the Movie and the balloon went up.
I never bought pre-recorded tapes, but did use blank ones to tape stuff (unreleased scores) off the telly or LPs from others. I had absolutely loads of them.
And I started acquiring session tapes of unreleased scores when I got to know the Goldsmith Club clan.
I still have a smattering of tapes now, mainly stuff that still hasn’t been released in any form and I have about 4 Sony Walkmans in great condition (plus two cassette players within portable players/boomboxes), should I ever need to play them.
