Deep Purple was one of my favorite bands in the seventies.

When Smoke On The Water was first released, I was hanging around with a buddy, one afternoon, when we heard it on the old CFRW-1470. We both liked it and both bought the 45 rpm single, which had a shortened "live" version on the back. Not too long after that, he bought the "Made In Japan" album and I bought the "Machine Head" album.

Years later, I bought the "Perfect Strangers" cassette, which I still have. It doesn't sound too bad considering it's age. I still have their "Hush" 45 rpm single too. :)

My 1st record I bought was Kiss Alive at peaches in Dearborn, then Led Zeppelin and the 3rd was Machine head. I like all kinds of music, I remember having 45s as a kid, mostly hand me downs along with some 33 1/3s

I remember Peaches. I bought an Earth Wind and Fire album there once.

Yeah, I remember sometimes when I got out of school, instead of walking home I would get in a transit bus and go out to one of the malls to buy a 45 rpm record before going home. Sometimes I would buy an issue of Popular Hot Rodding at the same time. I used to like to put the drag race pictures up on my bedroom wall. :laughing7:

I was 12 at the time and dreaming of being sixteen so I could get an afterschool job and buy a car. My car of choice was a 1970 or 71 'Cuda. Used ones were affordable then but, it never happened.

The first real album that I bought was by CCR, I think the next was Led Zeppelin III and then Machine Head.
 
If there was one thing about the seventies that I absolutely hated at the time, it was Disco music. The main reason that I hated Disco was that it had all but pushed Rock completely off the radio, at least in my area. I had three AM stations to choose from and they were all playing it all the time, it seemed. There wasn't a Rock FM station close enough to where I lived. I actually don't mind hearing some of those old Disco songs now, but the radio stations don't play them 24/7 anymore either.

I did like some of the softer, non-disco, music of the day. I guess it was what they refer to now as "Light Rock". To me it's just Classic Rock. :laughing7:

Hawaii was my number 1 duty assignment request for 20 years while I was in the Army. Never got there. I still want to see the USS Arizona at Pearl. Some day I'll get there...
 
As a matter of fact, I never got a duty assignment of choice during my whole 20 years in the Army.
