I spent 1992 in a board school, not because I was some delinquent teen, but because I heard it was an awesome place and I didn't want to go to some federal school farm like a bunch of my friends did, but I still wanted to get out of the house, it was a bit of a thing back then, like training for college or whatever
I was 14 and in the end of 1991 I went there to know the place, loved it, it was a historical building build more than 300 years ago, on a beautiful piece of land with a river crossing it, waterfalls, not to mention all the courts, pools, sport was a big thing there and I played basketball, it just felt like it was my place.
My mother hated it, my father thought it'd be a good experience, so I did it. Anyway, they had a stereo room, where the PA system was located and when it was sport / recreation time, music would be playing. They had this shelf full of old records, operas, religious hymns (the school had a catholic core), classical, they were very thick and heavy compared to modern LPs, it was literally thousand of vynils.
Of course, nobody gave a shit, the stereo would play either FM or mix tapes. Anyway, one day I was checking out these records, there was some weird stuff there, gregorian chants from Italy and in the middle of all that, I find the 2nd part of Appetite for Destruction from Guns there. It obviously didn't belong to the school. I see a name written on the cover. I put it back and asked around, it was some dude who studied there the previous year.
Well, first holiday I had going home, that baby went with me. Touching the school's turntable was prohibited, soooooooo...
