What I recall from the dim past was stuff my mother had in her collection... Beatles, Roberta Flack, the American Graffiti soundtrack, Jesus Christ Superstar, some Broadway sountracks, etc. She was a high school schoolteacher in the early seventies and there was a big revival of the sock hop and music of the early sixties then, that kind of stuff was played a lot.
My first music purchase was a cassette tape of the 'Live and Let Die' soundtrack. I also ended up, somehow, with the Who's 'Who's Next' and the first Santana album, and Kraftwerk's 'Autobahn', by about '75 or so, all influential on me.
