The First Album I've Ever Bought

The weirdest thing happened today, was going through old boxes this afternoon "one of them contained stuff from the days prior Uni" and to my shock guess what have I found ? :) MY FIRST EVER ALBUM ! :D This came to me as a shock, I mean you don't come across a Milli Vanilli Cassette everyday, do you ? :P

I remember how 15 years ago, I asked my dad for a Dinar while at the Sheraton's shopping center "Bahrain's only shopping center at the time" to buy the Milli Vanilli "Girl You Know It's True" album. This cassette made me feel older at the time and I remember how I drove my family crazy by playing it continuously in the car. :P

Shame that they mimed their way to a grammy ! :D

Anyway speaking of first albums, what was yours ? When and how did yous get it ?

Lorena: lol, I've googled them ! :D They look like the Puerto Rican version of Jackson 5 with lighter skin :P

yousifcom: Welcome to our blog, I agree with mate. They sound stupid now but all the late 80s and most 90s pop sounds like that ! :P

MSB: Are you trying to say that you've never bought one ? So what's your first album MSB?

Music has been on my mind as well. Matter of fact, I was gonna post about it today.

My first album - I think - was one from the Jackson 5... back when Michael actually looked African American! I used to love them. I still have it.. matter of fact, I have several of their old albums!

I don't remember where I got it from though. Prob from some store like KMart or something.

tooners: I'd have to check your post ! :) I was getting tired of the girlie posts ! :P Jackson 5 ? I'd have to say very very good choice compared with mine ! :) I'm sure that the J5 collection would worth quite a bit if they were in mint condition ! Can I have them ? ;) I won't sell 'em I swear ! :P

Kareem: Welcome to our blog, Now how on earth did you know that Ricky Martins came from that band ? I'd have to check with their biggest fan (Lorena aka Dynamite aka wonder woman: Is that true?) About the MJ albums I think that I got the Dangerous album soon after my first. I kinda had a feeling that MJ would be the first album for most of the visitors

Welcome Kareem :).

Mo, I think you're right, my first album must be Cheb Khalid's first one. There is a possibility though that it's the MJ one, can't really remember at all.

I am quite sure that it was Chab Khalid's first album "Didi"! :) I think it was bought to you as a gift or something, but I can be mistaken !
