gamb00ler Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Who's Next album not a single. I never owned records until.....during my second year at Uni (mid 70's) I distributed flyers for a Record Club(remember those?). The flyers had my code on them and when someone joined the club using my flyer I got either 1$ or an album. I took albums every time. I think the first one was Who's Next. It was an excellent first choice. Since I didn't own a record player I had to wait until my landlord was out to use his. When I left Canada for the USA a decade later, my friend inherited my "free" collection because CD's were available by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
