The B-52's "Legal Tender" from Whammy (Warner Bros, 1983).

This was one of the first records I bought with my own money — I remember going to Tower Records on Mercer and buying The Clash Combat Rock, David Bowie Let's Dance, and The B-52's Whammy.

[First record I ever owned: Donna Summer On the Radio (gift from my Aunt Shan). Second: Billy Joel Glass Houses (gift from my cousin Sarah). Third: Gerry Rafferty City to City (from my dad — we used to like hearing "Baker Street" when we'd drive to his shop in Totem Lake and we searched it out).]

Later my friend Gray and I went to see The B-52s at the Coliseum with two girls on acid and it was great.
