    "Who knows where the time goes"

    Fell into a wee trap that seems to catch me more and more these days

    Saw a nice CD of Britten choral works.



    Thought, "Oh yes, that's quite new and it got good reviews."

    Looked at its details when I got it home AND IT'S THIRTY YEARS OLD!!! Half my age, and three quarters of my time as a record-buyer

    Ah well, at least I was right about critical reception

    That's nothing.

    I buy the (really interesting) disc, only to find I've already got it - and had it for years.

      Oh yes, that happens too, esp. for me with Naxos CDs of slightly second-division British instrumental and chamber music!

      Fortunately I can usually offload them to a nearby friend, before resorting to charity shops. He does the same for me

        I thought this was going to be a reference to Sandy Denny. Hard to think it would have been nearly 38 years since she died.



        ...and yes large CD collections accompany ADS - Accidental Duplication Syndrome, not to be confused with what comes with big box purchases - Annoying Duplication Syndrome.

            Sometimes I find I only bought my first copy a few months earlier...
