I was 13 years old, and it was U2's "Under a Blood Red Sky," EP at the 
Caldor in Torrington, Conn.
They had the world's coolest record department, circa 1983-84. It was 
across the street from the restaurant my father owned, and I'd go over 
there on Saturday afternoons to blow my meager allowance on LPs and 
singles you had to ask for by number from a guy who stood behind a 
giant wooden platform.
