A big step.  I don't know why I didn't buy more records back then.  Part of it was KFWB and KRLA and eventually a Pasadena-based underground alternative FM station did a pretty good job disseminating rock music over the airwaves (remember radio... over the air?).  Part of it was economic. Job money was mostly gas money.  Part of it was my home:  One stereo, parents in house...not conducive.  And yet, I never felt deprived.  Music was everywhere in SoCal. In my bedroom radio, at school, in the car.  And my dad kept playing his Stan Getz albums, slowly, slowly infiltrating my psyche.
