 First piece of music I ever purchased!
I had never purchased a recording outside of a 45 RPM record until I was in high school back in the early 70's. Upon purchasing my first car the first addition I needed was an eight track tape player and speakers. It was either this or the Moody Blues Seventh Sojourn was the first eight track tape I purchased. I remember distinctly when and where I purchased this on eight track. It was at an old demolished Sears. It was expensive back then but I had to have it! My parents didn't really want me to squander the money on it, but I just had to have it. The only song I knew off it was Layla. Worth the price alone. I remember how dejected I was the first time I listened to it as back then I knew nothing of the blues and there was feedback from other songs ringing through. Either my heads were out of alignment or the tape was defective. Then it began to grow on me. Eventually the tape was eaten up by my eight track, now some twenty five years later I have ordered this remastered copy on cd. I can't wait to get it, it will bring back such great memories. Honestly there are a few tracks I know I'm still not crazy about but the majority are above and beyond! The way that "I Looked Away" rings into "Bell Bottom Blues"! It's not the same just listening to "Bell Bottom Blues" on some greatest hits compilation. Gosh, "Little Wing", "Thorn Tree in the Garden", "Anyday" as well as of course the full unabridged "Layla"! This is fantastic! I know it will sound so much better than my first eight track tape!
