Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. The latest shared post is my look back at "My First LP." My first two LPs, actually.
It's safe to say I've accumulated a few more LPs since then.
(And that's just what's survived the various purges. I have more CDs than LPs now.)
And I've written blog posts about a bunch of the LPs: The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album, and Beatles '65 and Beatles VI; The Best Of The Bobby Fuller Four; The Monkees' Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd., Monkeemania, and Headquarters and The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees; The Byrds' Mr. Tambourine Man; Drop Out With The Barracudas; The Ramones' Rocket To Russia; The Very Best Of The Hollies; and a compilation album called Heavy Metal. That's not counting reviews or capsule commentaries. I have a few more I want to write about when the ol' muse commands, including The Jam's Setting Sons, Geef Voor New Wave, the Times Square and Stardust soundtracks, The Clash's Give 'Em Enough Rope, The Turtles' Happy Together Again, Nuggets, The Kinks' Greatest Hits!, The Rolling Stones' Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass), The Who's Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy, and many, many more. There's even a Village People live album in my stack of possibilities. Yes, that one survived the purges, too.
But for now, we look back at where the album collection started. "My First LP" is the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
