I was already a huge VH fan. The first tune I heard from 1984 was Jump. I hated it then and still do, but I bought the album anyway. House of Pain, Girl Gone Bad and Top Jimmy did it for me. It's my least favorite and least listened to of the classic 6 pack. It's when Ed started to get that cheesy rubberbandy sound on his guitar (for lack of a better way to put it).

Well I, for sure, bought it on Friday Dec. 30th, 1983 - in Scotland, so it must've been out everywhere else as well.
First reaction was - best thing I'd heard all year. I'd rate it maybe their second best album after WACF. Like it as much as I ever did, and still listen to the same 12" vinyl copy I bought then.THINK LIKE THE WAVESComment

I remember more then half of Culver City Middle School having the VH 1984 jersey after the Great Western Fourm shows. My parents would not let me go so I bought one from a kid for $40.Comment

i went to the store with my mom and stood in the line until they opened up special at midnight so i can say i got mine jan. 1, 1984. i bought the first copy ever sold in alta loma, ca.
i've still got it.
i first got to listen to it on jan. 1, 1984.
i had to plug in the cans because dad was home and he didn't want to hear it.
anyway, 1984 and jump was kinda wierd way for a record to begin.
i like it.
panama just bowled me over.
then the real gems on side 1, top jimmy and drop dead legs......they have never been played live.
i wish the band would play them live.
these two songs kick ass!
side two, hot for teacher, i was going berserker sitting there rocking the fuck out.
air guitar and all.
hey, it was new years 1984, i was 6 years old, whadda ya want?
then i'll wait.
um............umm...........uuuummmmmm..........
moving on,
house of pain and girl gone bad.........i always though these were heavy fucking tracks, but they just didn't fit this record.
i know now they are left over from the club days.
i was unaware of it then, but i do still like them.
1984, as a whole, is a master piece for the ages.
nuff' said.
anybody remember GemCo.........that's where i got my copy.
a few years ago, gave my mom a cd copy of 1984.
i rembered that she loved that album a lot too.
eventually i had gotten a cassette tape of 1984, and whenever it was just me and mom in the truck, she'd let me
put the tape in and we would crank it up and roll the windows down in her 1980 or 1981 toyota sr-5 pick-up truck.
i don't remember if it was an '80 or an '81.
i do remember that it was blue, and got 14 miles to the gallon, back when a gallon of gas was like $0.59-$0.89 per gallon of gasoline.
fuck, i am getting old.Last edited by ace diamond; 12-31-2009, 06:22 PM."It's like trying to fit a mouse fart into a sardine can with a shoe horn"-Ace DiamondOriginally posted by hideyoursheepComment
