Ha ha, so Richard Baker who also presented many classical music programmes on the radio and TV, wrote books on classical music and presented on Classic FM had a so-so record collection...there's hope for us all then!

[@ftumschk]

He also appeared as narrator on a few classical recordings I once owned. I've still got one of them (Walton's "Façade" on Chandos) and very good he is, too.

It was not a so so collection - it was abysmal.

[@DadgeCity]

I wonder if they were his records? Maybe they were his mum's, and he still had his records in their shelves in another room?
It does seem odd that a classical music buff would get rid of all his records, but maybe he had "everything" on CD by then.

@@DadgeCity maybe he was waiting for an unsuspecting record dealer to buy his Mum's crappy vinyl :)

It should have been anyone other than Tony Blair: the problem wasn't the Labor Party as a whole, and the problem wasn't _New Labor_ -the problem was Tony Blair.
