Unexpected score

Here is an example of a great record just falling into my possession.  While dropping off some old clothing at a local salvation army, I just happened to see the guy in front of me donate a box of old records.  Now there is no way I was leaving before checking out those lp's.  SCORE!  Found this copy of a damn near impossible to find 1965 "You Never Heard Such Sounds in Your Life" - Milford Graves Percussion Ensemble with Sunny Morgan.  I can't tell you how f'ing awesome this record is! The free-est of the free form jazz drummers, Milford goes to town on his homemade drum kit with Sunny backing him up with even more percussion!  No horns, strings, melodies, nothing.  This is straight up free form drumming at its finest.  The only thing better than finding an album as rare as this is finding it by accident!  It was meant to be! <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xU3La5e9r6U?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xU3La5e9r6U?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
