Writer's Block: Your First Record
My first LP was Creedence Clearwater Revival's Green River which I bought with my babysitting money in my early teens. I would play it on my parent's Zenith console stereo which, like most 1960's turntables, was pretty crappy. It's a short LP as few of CCR's songs were longer than 3:30 (except those really long ones like Suzie Q). All nine songs fit on one side of a C-60 cassette. After I put it on cassette in about 1973, I rarely actually played the vinyl again. While it's the only CCR album I ever bought, I have mp3's of almost all the old CCR catalog from when all their songs were available on e-music. I don't know if CCR's tunes are still there because I quit after I had downloaded all the songs I wanted. (They also had significant parts of the catalogs of Southern Culture on the Skids & They Might Be Giants.)
