There was a birthday that was mentioned on the regular blog cos of course with everything around the funeral last year couldn't happen, both for emotional reasons, people not being in the frame of mind to celebrate anything apart from there being literally no space for cards as the window and fireplace were taken up with bereavement cards.
There were a number of presents such as the latest Now Millennium set that builds on the original two cd per year series of 1998/9 but with a booklet inside that does talk about the year and the music which was a reason for getting cos in general I din't bother too much with "The Charts" then just buying cds by artists I liked.
Time has a habit of moving on and at this point details from then beyond Crazy Frog are starting to get a bit hazy with me so having a sample of hits and key facts helps to keep my recollection of that period better being before I started blogging as I only had the internet around 2004 for local government work based reasons makes sense not least with some of my memory issues.
The other thing was a few more records in a speciality so-called "audiophile" record re-issue series being issued to mark the 75th year of Atlantic Records part these days of the mighty Warner Records group where they are recut from either the original tapes or the next best thing if that couldn't be done to very high standards and at 45 rpm to give the music more space in the groove to move (and be heard).
That usually means what was a single record now becomes two, the weight per disc tends around 180 grams rather than under 120 in 80's and 70's and in high quality jackets with stiff card.
They were just great presents.
