Yuri,
This is pretty strange indeed.  Just last thursday, I wandered into
the local used vinyl shop and found one of my old records that I sold
in a fit of insanity many years ago--at least ten years ago, in fact.
Now it wasn't anything rare or especially desirable (Montrose's first
album) but to come upon a record with your own initials staring out
at you from the corner after all these years is pretty wild!
