"Who knows where the time goes"

[LeMartinPecheur]

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...
