Age Difference: Earlest Released album and You.

Recommended Posts

Another thought topic, and with the wide age range that we have on the forum, this ought to be fun...

 

So, what is the age difference between you, and the album, or single, that has the earliest release date in your collection....

 

 

 

Album I have with earliest release date: "Please Please Me" by The Beatles: Released on March 22, 1963

 

My Birthdate: Dec 21, 1986

 

 

Age Difference 23 Years, 7 months, and 30 days

 

 

---------------------------------

 

That's interesting..... I just turned 24 last month, so I am (roughly) half as old as my oldest album.

I guess you could tack a few months onto my total as well for the Love Me Do single... I only have it on a compilation and on the Past Masters disc, but I guess it's the oldest released track I have, that pre-dates "Please Please Me"

the first CD "album" I bought was Nirvana's Nevermind when I was 12.

He means the difference between the oldest-recorded item in your collection, as in when the recording was made, not when the disc itself was made.

 

eta: For example, "Love Me Do" is the oldest recording in my collection, even though it's from my copy of Past Masters which I got last year, and not the original single.

Bloody hell, I suddenly feel old lol!

I've got a Robert Johnson collection somewhere and I believe his recordings were from 1936-ish.

So.

 

Robert Johnson recordings : 1936

My birthday : 1978

 

Age difference : 42 years

my earliest recorded discs are probably an early thelonius monk compilation from the mid-50's, but it's definitely something jazz - either Monk or Coltrane or Miles or Ornette Coleman or Sun Ra. born in 69, so roughly 14 years or so?

Born in 69??? You mean aged 69 don't you?

Oldest album: might be Dave Brubeck's Time Out, released in 1959.

 

Birth year: 1968.

 

Only nine years difference.

I'm guessing the oldest recording I have is the Beatle's "Revolver" from 1966. I was born in 1969.

 

I think I got Revolver in 1988.

The earliest album I have a date for is 1921. (not sure of exact month and day)

 

The Original Dixieland Jass Band - Clarinet Marmalade

 

Born May 19, 1986, so it predates me by about 65 years.
