What was the first Jimmy Buffett album that you bought?

First was Banana Wind. Since then I have downloaded almost every known recording of Jimmy Buffett I could find . . . so I don't really buy any cd's or anything anymore . . .

Coconut Telegraph - on vinyl, the way God intended it to be.

Banana Wind was the first for me. While I have expanded my collection a bit, there are still some 'holes' I need to fill.

My older brother was listening to "Grapefruit, Juicyfruit" on his 48" homemade speakers in his bedroom and I thought it was a cool song, so he recorded "You Had To Be There" for me to listen to on my walkman.

Okay! I'm reading a lot about the yellow album. At the risk of sounding totally stupid what is the yellow album?

Songs You Know by Heart (SYKBH) as it is lovingly referred to here~!

Feeding Frenzy on cassette. I have all of the studio albums, and a few of the live ones. All on cd. And I have all of his albums from the 70's on records.

The first album I bought was Floridays in 1986, because we were going to see Jimmy at Astro World.

A friend had given me the double ablum vinyl of You Had To Be There in 1978.

Then a parrothead gave me his Fruitcakes CD and One Particular Harbour cassette in 1994, because he KNEW I'd like Buffett.

He was right...so I went out and bought White Sport Coat, Livin and Dyin, and A1A right away.

THEN I bought every vinyl, cassette, CD, VHS, DVD, that has ever been released commercially. (I am missing a few 45s.) My best buy was Live By The Bay on Laser Disc.

My favorite has always been Barometer Soup since that was the first album to be released after I became a REAL

fan. It starts off so happy..."Follow in my wake."

The first was SYKBH, just cause that's how I am when someone says "Hey, you need to check this person out." I start with the greatest hits. From there it spiraled, with me buying new ones as they came out interspersed with older ones that I just needed to have.

So does the vinyl cover...AND, that's also the cover for my Live By The Bay Laserdisc.

My first album was SYKBH as well (on cassette) I was looking for something to listen to at my job, where we were allowed to use tape players while doing data entry.

(The funny thing is I didn't WANT to use a tape player, but there was ONE person that occasionally would "break into song" when she was listening and I had to resort to the tape player to avoid distraction

)
