The first vinyl record I ever bought was Kings of the Wild Frontier by Adam and the Ants. The first techno(ish) record I ever bought was possibly Acid Rock by Frank De Wulf around 88/89, although I had been getting into all the Chicago acid stuff that was everywhere round that time before this. I remember picking up a bunch of records that were big at the time along with Acid Rock. Who remembers that awful 'everything begins with an e' track that was produced by Boy George or something? Luckily before I was able to buy too much bad vinyl I got passed a copy of a DaPosse album by Luke Slater and my life was changed forever!
Its funny though. We were all serious hip hop heads (black levi's, goose jackets, kangols, Public Enemy Patches and fat laces etc...) when we were 15 and at school and I remember I picked up this tape of acid house and really liked it. All my friends ripped the mick out of me at the time and were calling me a teeny bopper, something I always like to reminded them when, a year later, they were wearing paisly shirts and 40 inch quito flairs tripping out to acid house at outback parties in Slough!!
