Editorial summary

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current 22-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1995-08-01. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Nirvana, Bucky and Pizzarelli providing the first useful test.
