John C Winfrey Romulan	My interest in film music goes back to late 50s and Salter, Skinner, Steiner, Newman etc. A short time later I noticed Goldsmith on Thriller and Twilight Zone. Did not know his name yet. By early 60s(1963) knew his name and was following his career. First LPs-El Cid-1962 How West Was Won-1963 and many others a long in there. I was 13. J.

Matthew Romulan	I can remember turning 11 in the summer of 1989.Having just seen Batman and loving the music.Then having to wait around two months before being able to buy the score in stores.That was the first score I ever purchased.Then in December of the same year grabbing Alan Silvestri's Back to the Future pt. 2.Again having to wait at least a month before being able to get my hand on the score.Not soon after that I picked up Silvestri's score for BTTF3. After that I don't think I bought another score until 1991 with Brad Fiedel's Terminator 2 score and then Christopher Franke's Universal Soldier in 1992. [Message edited by Matthew on 02-23-2003]

TimT Romulan	Jurassic Park and Hook. When I got my first CD player. I decided that I was JP when we were coming home from the theater. I never saw Hook in theaters, but I owned the video, and I thought it was kinda cool. So I bought that CD, which turns out to be my Most Played soundtrack to date.

reza Reman	My first score (cassette) might be the last of the mohicans in 93 or 94. My first score (CD) was Phantom Menace but I was into collecting score since I bought my second in 2002 which was Danny Elfman's Planet of the Apes, awesome main titles, awesome score...

Ken S Romulan	The very first one was John Williams' DRACULA. The second one was Lee Holdridge's TRANSYLVANIA 6-5000. Both naturally on good ol' LP. The year was 1986 and I was about 12 years young. My very first CD was John Williams' HOME ALONE. Back then I didn't even own a CD player, but I simply had to buy the soundtrack because during those years it was kinda unusual to find such a great soundtrack in any Finnish music stores. Oh what sweet memories... It happened so fast: I found a very small music store which had the original albums of E.T. and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK on CD. Then all of a sudden I had more CDs than LPs. Oh, those were INDEED the magical days !!! KEN [Message edited by Ken S on 02-28-2003]

Gae Join the club Gae, JAWS was the first soundtrack I bought at time of the films release, though I had bought a few scores before this including Goldfinger (the first original score I ever bought) and some Morricone (Good, Bad, Fistful...etc), I think Barry's KING KONG was the next one I bought but I wouldn't put money on it considering my memory

Lou Goldberg Romulan	I was 12 or 13 when I got a turntable and the first LP I purchased was Citizen Kane conducted by Leroy Holmes (I still have the LP too). I think Obsession was the first actual 'Original Soundtrack Recording' I purchased. Chances are Battle of Neretva was the second. I owned what Herrmann I could find in those days before I moved onto other composers. I was lucky to meet someone who had a large collection with a variety of scores. I visited him and listened to a lot of stuff and moved on from there. Though if I hadn't met the guy, I was watching enough films foreign and domestic that I would have branched out to collect and listen to the rest of film music eventually on my own.

CoachUSAgal Romulan	Wow, I can't believe I remember this. I would have to say cassette tapes of Jurassic Park and Dances With Wolves. I think I was fifteen or sixteen.

Dan Brecher Romulan	Back to the Future and Robocop... on vinyl. I got Back to the Future 2 and 3 LPs at the same time. Would have been 1990 or 1991 so I would have been eight or nine at the time... There was a funny forbidden fruit thing to Robocop (the movie) as a child. My elder brother was a fan, and I guess I ended up seeing it that way. Between the ages of 9 and 12 young lads seemed obsessed with Robocop, Predator and the abysmal Commando and tapes would circulate around school and all three (plus The Terminator) would frequently air on television. I never cared for Robocop (movie) at the time. I didn't really "get it" until I was about 15, but that score really stuck with me as a child. One would assume the violence would be etched on my mind and warped me as a wee lad, but no.... just the music. Alas, I no longer have my original LP copies of my first purchases. I've surprised myself by realizing how young I would have been when I got these though, but I can remember my interest in buying scores starting at that time as if it were yesterday. Family musical influences were classical music, stage musicals & classic crooners like Sinatra from my mother and father, and from my older brother & sister only the likes of Wham, Duran Duran....etc would rub off on me, so where my sudden take to film scores came from I don't know. I can only assume it stemmed from my fascination with film in general from a young age... Dan

Quill Romulan	Ahhh...nostalgia...lets see. I was 14...and Star Trek 6 really got me interested. Bought the score on tape, and a few months later got my first CD player, at which time I bought Basic Instinct and replaced that horrible tape! If memory serves the next few that I purchased were Batman, Glory, and Alien3. Those were the days...when I had a whole world to discover. Now I've bought everything I want to listen to--bummer.
