Okay, I was wrong
When last we met, I had just posted about my 1998 CD Just Around the Corner, which I discovered was a “rare” and “collectable” item. Who knew?
Now, I haven’t thought about Just Around the Corner in years - at least not without cringing. But an old friend of mine found the sales link on my website and decided to purchase the thing. Which meant I had to sell it. Well, first I had to find it - which I did, in a closet in my attic, in a cardboard carton that my girlfriend had mummified with packing tape. If I hadn’t had to slit it open, that thing could have served as a time capsule well into the next century.
But before I sent it off to my unsuspecting friend, I decided to have a listen. So I pulled a copy of the CD off my shelf and slid it into the computer and…
It wasn’t nearly as bad as I remembered. Parts of it were quite listenable, and one or two tracks really held up. In fact, there were only a couple of tracks that made me cringe. And that’s not a bad average, given that there are 15 tracks on the album.
Here, have a listen yourself.
