The First Sonic Youth LP......
 

.....you bought in the week of release?


Mine was A Thousand Leaves.

I got into them at Washing Machine, and bought most of the catalogue pretty quick. Bizarrely, it was a few years until I got CIS and the debut EP :confused:

Has to be Rather Ripped for me. I got into them just after the release of Sonic Nurse, and yeah, bought most of the catalogue pretty quickly as well. I think by the time Rather Ripped was released I had all the albums, SYRs and some EPs and solo projects

Washing Machine. Got into them around the EJSTNS time.

daydream nation,

copy that

Sonic Nurse.

Actually it was probably the eternal, although I probably got the Destroyed Room within around a month of coming out. I didn't really buy much music until my conversion to record geek side in 2006, and that's when I found the yoof. Didn't take me long efter that to obsessively buy everything, so I've been hankering for 2 years to get a shot at picking up an SY album on release day...

The Eternal :o
Got into them right after Rather Ripped was released, although I only brought myself to listen to it nine months after I started listening to SY.

edit: fuck, I realized that I already have more than one hundred posts...it seems like only yesterday I had twenty-something...lol

The Eternal

first was EJTNS and every album since has been bought upon first realease.

EJSTNS for me too, but then the next one was Sonic Nurse. i was in a Sonic coma for over 10 years! :eek:

Nurse. I first heard SY right around the release of Murray Street, and didn't get any of their albums until I got DDN sometime in '03. Got Sister and Dirty shortly after, Nurse when it came out, and the rest is history. :D

I got into Sonic Youth in 2007, so it was The Eternal for me.

experimental jet set

Sister

I wanted to get The Eternal when it came out, but I had no money.

I think I got Sonic Nurse and Rather Ripped the first month they were released, but I don't think I've ever gotten an SY disc the first week of its release...
