I received the album on LP from my grandmother for Xmas of 1982. My first Stevie experience was seeing the "Gypsy" video on MTV that summer, and I ran out to by Mirage right away. Once I figured out that Stevie had a solo album (after seeing the SDMHA video...) I put Bella Donna on my Xmas list.
The first time I listened to it was Xmas night, once we'd gotten back home from Grandma's. She wouldn't allow "rock" music played in her home, and I'd gotten in trouble trying to sneakily play a few songs when she was in the kitchen cooking lunch.
It was about 9PM and very cold outside. I listened to the album on headphones while wrapped in a blanket and sitting on the floor in front of my turntable. I was 13. Maybe that's why even today listening to it makes me chilly and starts me thinking about winter.
