[kj] Your First "PUNK" Record?

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Alex,
 
How funny! Mine was Adam & The Ants "King of the Wild Frontier"  too!
 
But if you really want to X that out..It would be Black Flag's "Damaged."  
Then for buying a cassette tape would be the movie soundtrack to the punk  rock 
doc."The Decline Of The Western Civilization."

Sprung  off from the earlier question, inspired by Antoni's post....

What was  your first credibly (or arguably credible) "Punk" record?

My father was  living in the UK as a foreign correspondent for FORBES 
Magazine in the  late 70's and befriended someone from CBS/Epic records, 
who very nicely  packaged up a box of promo LP's for myself and my 
sister. In it was the  first record by The Clash and PURE MANIA by the 
Vibrators, both of which I  initially listened to for only comedic 
purposes ("heh heh, listen....they  can barely play!"), until both 
wormed their way into my  subconscious.

The first "Punk" album I bought with mine own money was  KINGS OF THE 
WILD FRONTIER by Adam & the Ants (if that counts). My  older sister -- 
who has since had an acute taste-ectomy and now listens to  absolute 
garbage -- used to be cool and brought home the first few albums  by 
Blondie, the B-52s, the Vapors and the Police.  She now listens  rather 
exclusively to coffee bar crap like Dido. A shame,  really.
