It’s the bit in Jeanie’s trailer where Tom talks about emotions and memories. The last record I bought was pressed fifty years ago, and looks like it’s seen some owners. My emotions and memories of when I first heard that record will be of the summer of 2010, but there’s all the ones before mine in there as well. That’s one of the magic things about records, and therefore the shops that rack them up carefully, respectfully, dutifully. I not only want to see record shops like Sound It Out survive, but I’d also like them to be celebrated, revered, and to see them proliferate.
The first and last record I bought:
First: We’re Off To Button Moon (Theme From Button Moon) on 7″. LP wise it was probably Mr. Men Volume One (I still have both).
Last: Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet.
