At the age of 10 I got a very important Christmas present from my parents: My first record player with integrated Stereo Speakers and a fantastic first record: "The Smurfs".
I played this record again and again all over the 2 Christmas holidays. After Christmas I visited my neighbor. He was just a few years older than me and also got a record player from his parents.
I was totally shocked. His record player was much cooler than mine. The speakers were connected to the power outlet and in each speaker there were 3 light bulbs - blue, red and yellow. These light bulbs switched on/off in the rhythm of the music.
It was a fascinating atmosphere - listening to real cool music and watching the "dancing" lights. I needed to have this atmosphere at my home as well.
Of course I couldn't get this extremely expensive record player myself, but I had enough money saved to buy a cool music record the next day.
This record made a huge impact on my musical taste. It was recorded by a band with a strange name - AD/DC - and the title of the record was "Back in Black"
