Last night this one was missing.

A thorough inspection of the shelves with classical CDs revealed I had my Bizet recordings in two places. Compilations with works of several composers are a drag.

This CD has, btw, the most terrific recording of the Carmen Suite you will ever hear. Most conductors tend to take it too fast - this one is right on spot and grooves the hell out of the piece.

Ha. Find this to be true with 

Absolutely exquisite. Right speed, perfect.

I am in a process of inspecting and evaluating stuff stored in dozens of boxes on my shelves, and while dusting the CDs with British music it turned out the missing Pentangle CD was correctly filed with the band's other discs. Blind man ....

Comforting to see others share the same fate. 
Last week I searched high and low for a double CD with  early 50s New Orleans revival jazz that I KNEW I had. Nowhere to be found.
Annyoing because after I had obtained several dozen CDs with 40s and 50s N.O./revival/Condonites jazz from that estate here I decided it was high time I set up a corner specifically for post-1945 revival jazz in my CD filing boxes.
Well, that N.O. double CD eventually did turn up - inside a box with original Trad Jazz EPs elsewhere on my shelves where I had filed it for lack of space in the CD corner. Along with a CD of "Sidney Bechet at Storyville", which it turned out was also included (as a different reissue with differently styled inlay) among the half dozen Bechet CDs from that estate. But oh well ... these recent CD arrivals had come my way essentially free after all.
