Don't have a pic but it was the first Van Halen album many a moon ago...bought it at a Budget Tapes and Records in Colorado...

Great thread title.

The fact is, on the rare occasion that you hear something playing in-store and know that you just MUST have it, is an occasion that you never forget.

For me, it was this little gem.

(Based upon its present value, I now wish I had bought 20 LP copies...  )

Walked into a record store in Nashua, NH and heard this playing. The album cover was in the "new release" display, but I had never heard of the band. Two or three cuts in I knew I was buying it. I remember this moment all these years later. Not disappointed.
