Advantages: Fantastic album, range of pieces Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit expensive for a 30 year old album

Maybe it is only fair to get the one major chink in his armour out of the way quickly. Once, when he was preparing a lecture on the poet Chatterton, most of his notes were made up of entire pages and paragraphs ...
