My first visit to the United States, my parents gave me $100 worth of traveler's cheques. I bought one souvenir of the Liberty Bell. The rest was spent on acquiring the first five Van Halen albums. (Vinyl of course. There was no such thing as CDs back then.)
*This was before 1984, so I didn't get that one.The first movie I ever bought was a VHS of 'A Clockwork Orange'. (No such thing as DVDs at that time.) I really loved the soundtrack to that movie, too. Although I really gained an appreciation for Beethoven from this movie, the 'Singing in the Rain' scene is absolutely one of the most memorable.
