Of course it is, Songs of Innocence and Experience (1794) Honestly, I did point out the answer was William at 11.30pm last night! It's not just Caliban who is a bit slow!

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.

an admirably broad range of musical interests

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...

Taking your life in your hand a bit with that remark, aren't you, rubbers?

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...

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

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...

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.

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

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?
