You know what's a good record? It's when you hear cuts off it on a sunday nite AM jazz show out of Des Moines (the same nite they were playing the Von Freeman record, must have been Atlantic time!) and you're like, wow, that's a motherfucker, gotta get that (same with the Von), so ok, next trip to a big city record store, get that one, and yeah, love it to death for years to come (ESPECIALLY Side 1, which was when the thing got pulled back so the record would just play over and over, sometimes all night into the sleep and out again), but then eventually don't listen to it for a decade or two, b/c, you know, it's IN there, but then somebody gives you a CD version that they have bought two of for some reason, and then putting it on, not only do you remember every note, but IT STILL FEELS THE SAME!!!!
That's love, and a good record is love.
