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.

Sister

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

Sister

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...

None, as I've never had the money to buy an SY LP the first week of release. Am I not a true fan?

Which one would have been the first, if you'd had the spondoolix?

i bought dirty way back in high school, around the time murray street came out. i didnt have much initiation to pick up the rest of the albums until i saw the cover for sonic nurse and it sort of reminded me about them. but that was at least a year since it had been out.

the first album i bought when it came out was rather ripped. the first day it came out i downloaded it off itunes 5 minutes before i had to go to work, just so i could listen to it during my ride :)

Murray Street

Rather Ripped.

EJST&NS

In fact, I still have the SST longbox Sister came in at the time. I worked at an independent record store in 1987 and I remember cracking the shipment open with a razor knife and nabbing it off the top.

Ahhhh what a memory.

EVOL and Bad Moon Rising had been blowing my mind so bad months before that I had money set aside for Sister ready for it's release.

The Eternal. I didn't get really into SY until a few months after RR was released.

Murray St.

The Eternal. I first got into SY around 2007. I can remember reading reviews of Rather Ripped and thinking that this was a band I should look into.

i got the deluxe self titled ep when it came out

"a thousand leaves" used. yes someone already traded it in the first week it was released at the record store i was at.

RR, I missed Sonic Nurse by about 2 months.

I think it was Evol, but I can't remember for sure. If it wasn't Evol, it was Sister.

Ditto.

washing machine

Sonic Nurse.

Probably The Destroyed Room oddly enough. Missed RR by about a month, though did by The Eternal in the first week. The other ones I tracked down one by one, going through a huge phase where I bought several of their records in a two month time frame.

Dirty...All those many moons ago. I Had Goo and Bad Moon Rising but only after I had discovered SY thru the UK press about to explode about grunge... The Eternal GROOVES by the way. peace

Rather Ripped.
