First one was "Last Mango", since then, I have most of the them. The only ones I don't buy are the "Live at........" . They're all pretty much the same.

A White Sports Coat and a Pink Crustacean - 8 track...which means it probably lasted about 2 months before being tossed out the car window.

I like it too, but honestly if I wouldn't have bought the BBBB box set, I don't know if I'd be a Buffett fan.... The song I just fell in love with was OPH

Well, I am so glad that we have the BN albums and songs data base. It makes it so much easier for me to pick and choose my JB albums. The next bunch of JB albums I am probably going to get are Son of a Sailor, Living and Dying in 3/4 Time (God's Own Drunk is a perfect reason to get that album,) and BBB!

CILCIA on vinyl in 1977. I still have it.

"You had To Be There" on 8-track.

My college roommate had CILCIA & SOASOAS on vinyl so i taped them.

You Had to be There back in '76. I bought all the albums after that. The only album I don't have is Off to See the Lizard, which is one of the first CD's I ever got.

My first one was the yellow one. Truth is, I bought it without knowing who Jimmy Buffett was.

I was joining one of those old record clubs where you get "8 for 1 cent" and I had already picked 7. I saw the title "Songs You Know By Heart" and thought "hmmm... I'd probably know a couple of 'em."

Got the CD, played it once... didn't recognize a single song! So I threw it in the closet and forgot about it for several years.

Over the years, I figured out Jimmy sang "Margaritaville," so when we went to the beach on vacation, I dug it out of the closet and threw it in the suitcase.

While there, my little boy started running a fever, so we took turns staying at the room with him while everybody else went to the beach. During my turn, I put the yellow album in and finally... LISTENED.

Oh My, Oh My, Oh My.... loved every song, loved the lyrics, loved the instrumentation. Played it over and over and over, rocked the little guy, and just watched the waves out my window.

Been here ever since.

(And the little guy is fine - and several years older now!)
