Like walking into the used bookstore and discovering a jazz vinyl recording, that's almost as old as I am.
'Rhythm Crazy' by Jimmy Cleveland (trombone player) from 1959 on the EmArcy record label.
Attracted by the cover design and that it was recorded in the decade I was born. And also, that he's a trombonist. Excited to walk in the door and stumble upon vinyl that demands my attention. That's the main point for me .... that I unexpectedly came across the record. That's when life seems so cool and as if I'm being rewarded for my diligence. It was surrounded by choices, far more recent, modern sounding and projected shiny appearance. But I get excited about simple and historic.
