Posted: 3/2/05 at 3:28pmMan...I'm trying to remember things I had pre-CD (ack, I'm old)...I know I had The Music Man on tape, but that was the movie soundtrack...Chess, but that technically was a concept album...I think it might have been OBC Evita.

Gothampc, what is there to be ashamed about? Annie was my first and to this day I still listen to it every now and then. Still love NYC and your'e never fully dressed without a smile.
Loge-Nice to see another Aspects fan out there. That is one of my all time favorite musicals and my favorite of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

my mom's vinyl included OBC Fantastiks, Soundtrack Music Man, and the 10,000 Strings instrumental music to Camelot, which she would sing along and just HAPPENED to know all the lyrics.
Back in those days, these albums were considered Pop music.
Not counting the JCS concept album (when I purchased no one considered the possiblity of mounting it onstage) I guess OBC Evita is the first 1 bought. Prior to that i had purchased Bells Are Ringing soundtrack, becuz OBC was not available in the 70s.

Didn't really buy my own. I just generally "discovered" them in my parents CD collection.
Started with Joseph in first grade, and then for my birthday I got Cats for my birthday that year, then I discovered the 'rents CD of Phantom (Canadian recording) sometime that year. And then along came Les Miserables in second grade.
And it all escalated from there.
I'm a Webber freak.

When I was 8 years old, I saved up my allowance to buy the movie soundtrack recording of "The Music Man," with Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. This was back when we had the big, flat, vinyl records with the grooves in them. 
I think it was about $7, but can't remember for certain. I'm sure I've still got it stashed away somewhere.
