The Parental Vinyl/Tapes, track 1, side 1

As I mentioned in the "Whatcha listenin' to?" thread, watching an ABBA documentary last night sparked off a wave of nostalgia in me, and brought back into sharp focus the ceremony of putting a record on, or loading and rewinding a tape to the beginning.  Some of you may have begun your musical journey by listening to the music of your parents/guardians.  Track 1, side 1 always sticks in the mind for obvious reasons - it's the track you most readily associate with the album in the predominantly sequential world of the record/tape.

 

Enough waffle, here's 11 that I remember, in alphabetical by artist, then chronological by release date so no favourites:

 

Artist - Album - Track

 

ABBA - Greatest Hits Vol. 2 - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
ABBA - Super Trouper - Super Trouper
Cream - Fresh Cream - I Feel Free
Cream - Wheels of Fire - White Room
Curved Air - Airconditioning - It Happened Today
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Trilogy - The Endless Enigma (Part One)
Genesis - Nursery Cryme - The Musical Box
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound - Dancing With the Moonlit Knight
Charles Penrose - All Aboard! - The Laughing Policeman
Steppenwolf - Easy Rider Soundtrack - The Pusher
Wishbone Ash - Argus - Time Was
 
And one that my naive kid self didn't listen to because he thought the sleeve looked boring:
 
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Deja Vu - Carry On
