A couple of years ago I eventually got round to turning them all into MP3s. The Great Composers record (yes, actual record) is so old that I had it on cassette - at the time we got it I wasn't allowed to use the record player at home so had it on cassette for my bedroom!

If I refer to the Christmas Compilation over the next day or so, then this will be the one that I mean!
