• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Do you remember the first record you bought?

True that. Those who butcher other people’s tunes in covers bands are similar too.

The "niche" tw*ts who go to low rent gigs and think their musical tastes are the b*llocks grips my sh*t
 
Bought 2 lps with birthday money at David Evans store , Wishbone Ash and Stray , first albums for both bands , first records of my own , had always borrowed my cousins albums before that .

What the Fvck are you on about then ?

I meant to quote Mutey.

I just worked out what was going on. 🙄 No I didn’t see him there, I would have been 10 at the time.
I didn’t frequent the Ferry until I was about 17 🤔.

Some. Fair enough if you like old vinyl and it can be an enjoyable few minutes scouring through collections in boot sales or market stalls looking for something you’re missing or used to have, but the reissuing of albums on vinyl is bullshit. Albums recorded on the 90’s are being reissued from masters made for cd, so your getting heavily compressed digital recordings transferred on to an analogue format and anyone who says that sounds better is talking through their ringpiece.
 
When did all of you buy your first record ?
When you were 18 ?
My first records were Ernie (Benny Hill ) , a Status Quo song ( Down Down I think ) and Clair by Gilbert O Sullivan. Then fast forward to 1975 ( 13 then) bought Venus and Mars by Wings ( not as good as Band On The Run but still good ) . Next albums I remember buying was Down To Earth ( Rainbow ) and Bat Out of Hell ( Meatloaf)

Fair play, from Benny Hill to Meatloaf :lol:

I know 😁
That is just my point though.
Either nobody on here bought a record until they were about 18 or they developed very sophisticated musical tastes while still in junior school.
I find both hard to believe.
Even the Quo was quite hard core for me at the age of about nine :D

My first and only vinyl was the REO Speedwagon LP 😂
Don't ask me why but I joined the Britania music club, they used to send you the "album of the month" recommendation (I chose the tape option) you had 7 days to keep or return, I could never be bothered and ended up with about 80 albums ranging from Big Country to The Thompson Twins 🙈
 
Bought many albums ( on vinyl and cassette ) ranging from above through to Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Yes, Wishbone Ash
