Anyone with a reasonable sized music collection will eventually experience The Space Conundrum
At CCHQ it is the turn of the Folk/Singer-Songwriter shelves to experience this phenomenon.
Space is very much at a premium and desperate times call for desperate measures.
I have taken the difficult decision to remove three CD albums I burnt from the Record Library a decade or so ago and to digitalize them and store them in the Music Folder as mp3's.
The main rationalisation is that I don't think I have played them in the last decade.
First up is Separate Ways the second album by singer- songwriter Teddy Thompson from 2005. I've seen him once and have another couple of albums by him but I'm afraid they rarely, if ever, get an airing.
Next we have Lifesize a 2002 album by Helen Watson on Fledg'ling Records. Again I have another couple by her but the only one which ever gets an airing is 1997's Somersault and in particular her wonderful rendition of Dan Penn's Out Of Left Field.
Finally we have Yellow Like Sunshine an album by the British all female traditional folk band The Poozies.
Tough love but it had to be done.
The obvious solution is to move to a bigger house!
ReplyDeleteI experienced a version of The Space Conuundrum a few years back, culminating in The Purge. It was not a good or happy time.
