Today I had no excuse not to take the risk when I found Dusty in Memphis (1969) in the clearance bin for $.50. Upon first listen (only after repeated cleanings because this record was terribly dusty (pardon the pun)) I understood all the fuss. Memphis has all of the elements of an instant classic: top-rate musicians, arrangements, songwriters (Bacharach/David, Goffin/King), and a songstress at her artistic peak. It is indeed a gorgeous record, and absolutely worth 50 cents. :)

You could have had Bryan Adam's "Cuts Like A Knife" for a dollar at my garage sale, but somebody beat you to it. your loss...
Somehow I'll learn to live with the regret.
