Say what you will but that first Motley Crue album rawked

I had a copy on cassette of the Leather Records version of Too Fast for Love. It was passed around my school like a joint at a party.
 
Shout got me into Crue--actually, that album was responsible for transforming me from a topsiders-with-no-socks-wearing preppie into a mullet-headed rock 'n' roll dirtbag.
I got the first album (on cassette) afterwards, and I wore them both out in the tape deck of my '79 Chevy Luv, whilst wearing a backwards ball cap and chewing Skoal longcut.

We had a Chevy Luv that was passed around our family. It was a hunk of junk, but we loved it. By the time it was totaled, I don’t think the headlights, speedometer or gas gauge worked. Had some good times in that truck.
 
I didn’t hear the first album until 87. I had SatD and ToP, was walking around Florennes, Belgium and a shop had Girls, Girls, Girls in the window so Snatched it up. Was listening to it in the dorm talking with a dude who had the first album and he let me borrow it. Have to say that I thought the sound quality was really bad and Vince sounded like he had a speech impediment. It didn’t sound anything like the YouTube videos posted in this thread which clearly have been upgraded or remastered or something.

Mine was my Dad's originally. Then my Grandpa snagged it to tow a trailer with a snowblower in the winters so he and his buddy could drive around the subdivision and clear all their friends' driveways. When I got my license, it passed to me. The speedometer and gas gauge never worked while I had it, it had some sort of curse that caused it to kill starters (I got really good at parking on hills so I could pop the clutch), and it leaked oil like Niagara Falls. Good times!
 
I'm getting a'video unavailable' message, but I like the song 'Too Fast For Love'. It's a glam punk banger.
