First album I bought with my own pocket money and believe me, I had to save up for quite some time to afford it
So little grasshopper walks into the record store to acquire his first record ever but he doesn't know anything about music - he just wants to "rock out", that's for sure.
Well - can he listen to some tunes? No, not allowed, the shopkeeper won't play anything for the little brat that has no clue.
Looking at covers then.
Lightning? Check. Fires of hell burning in the background? Infernal sounds galore.
Swords and a medieval warmaster who looks like the "Hero Quest" guy? This must be good. And it was.
As a matter of fact I used to buy quite a lot of records solely based on the impression the artwork gave before there was any way of listening before buying.
"The Triumph of Steel" truly gave me a run for my money.
First song lasted for about 28 minutes, I couldn't even understand it.
"The demon's whip" sounded so scary, I didn't even want to listen to it - but the song was great, so I used to skip the frightening intro and bang to the rest of it.
I'm glad to report, Beelzebub never showed up in my bedroom.
It was the only record I had for months until I had saved up enough pocket money to enter the record store again. I was hooked.
