Know what you mean!
An album I did rediscover recently is a classical album called ‘Such Sweet Thunder’, by Caroline Dale, this is a track from it:

I have it on minidisc, recorded from a CD I borrowed from someone years ago, and it forgotten all about it until very recently when a chance conversation with the landlord of my local informed me that one of the locals, who I’ve known for quite some time and knew was a musician, was an Oscar winning cellist. I did t even know her name, we just chatted when she was back home in the village and came down to the pub.
Did a quick Google and it turned out I had two of her albums, the other is the soundtrack to ‘Hillary & Jackie’, about Jaquelline Du Pre.
Turns out I’d also seen her live, as part of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page’s band some years back!
She’s toured with Sinead O’Connor, and plenty of others, she gets name-checked here:

Been playing the album a lot since, I’d totally forgotten just how much I really enjoyed it when I put it onto minidisc.
I’ve now got both those albums on CD, plus several others of Caroline’s, just got to get her to sign them next time she’s back in Wiltshire. 😀
