    Akshally, dearest one, Innocence was 1789 and Experience (as befits) came later in 1794

      As usual My Learned Friend is correct and I will withdraw my evidence as being undeniably flawed.

        So, come on ofca, time to fess up: how many OMD albums have you actually got?
        (If it helps, I confess to owning their first three singles...)

        EDIT: I also have quite a lot of Richard Rodney Bennett as well. Oh, the shame...

          Perhaps 'slowness' is a synonym for 'displaying an interest in Coronation Street' (to which I cheerfully plead guilty).

            so -

            Anna disinterred "William"
            Mercia identified Hazlitt: Liber Amoris or the New Pygmalion [1823]
            Caliban found Wordsworth: Ode: Imitations of Immorality [1807]
            Anna found Thackeray: The Rose and the Ring [1855]
            Rubberknickers for Blake: Songs of Innocence AND Experience [1794]

            So - who wants X Y Z or A

            Anna - Mercia - Caliban - Rubbers - or Norfolk who knew all along but was being coy...

            Do I have to call on the services of Harry Hill here??

              I think Anna was right - yes Innocence came out in 1789 - but the combined volume "Songs of Innocence and Experience" came out - as she said - in 1794

                I shall need to take instructions, but my client is prepared in the interim to accept your Lordship's ruling on the matter.

                  Blimey... a veritable bursting of the dam on this question... I can't take the next: the first pronouncer of the William connection should, I think...

                  Maybe... I'll get rubbers back anyway

                  Looking forward to the Becky dénouement at the weekend (omnibus catch-up as usual) as well as to the subsequent appearance of The Man from U.N.C.L.E in Roy's Rolls and then as you say, The Trial...
                  "...the isle is full of noises,
                  Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    I never had the faintest idea of the answer, my dear chap. It was just a ploy to drag the answer out of somebody whizzing past in the fast lane.

                      We shall await Counsel's opinion with interest. In the meantime, I have to be out of here in 30 minutes until around 3.30pm so no point in me setting a question, so I think it's between mercia and rubbers to do the honours.

                        In that case, despite my thirst for fresh insight into NB's record collection, I think Mercia should do the honours.

                              Is yodelling too extreme for this thread?
