When I was about 14, I went into a record store with about $8 and for the first time bought a few albums on my own choosing. I bumped into a friend of my old brother who handed me ELO's A New World Record which to this day is one of my favorite albums. I think it was $3. I had money for another album and having no clue what to buy grabbed a second album based on its cover. A group called Star Castle. English prog rock. Any one ever heard of them? Pretty unknown in the US. I really enjoyed that album too and played it hundreds of times. Looked them up on Wikipedia and they lasted for years in the UK, never big in US.
