The Cutout Record That Became a Favorite | America’s Harbor

Dave remembers buying America’s Harbor as a discounted cutout from a kiosk outside a shopping plaza. The jacket carried a mark and the album came at a reduced price, but the music—especially the atmospheric “God of the Sun”—gave the record lasting value. Over time, the bargain purchase became more meaningful than many albums bought at full price. Sometimes the least expensive record on the shelf becomes one of the hardest to replace emotionally.
