Just a little history. John Dalmas was skeptical that the Schubert
Octet recording I bought "many years ago" contained any coupling. Then,
I provided the sufficient facts to show that this Vienna Octet recording
on Decca indeed had a Mozart divertimento as a coupling.

I wish my wife, Ellen Jane, was as amazed by me as frequently as John
appears to be. Time warps are my specialty; I can remain in one for more
than 25 days straight. And, I can also put myself in a subject matter warp
as well. What's going on?
As for whether 11 years can reasonably be considered "many", I'll leave that
for the readers.

That's not such a low percentage, and it will rising over time to the point
where a disc without coupling will be at a competitive disadvantage. This
likely won't take "many" years.

I don't inititate technology; I just respond to it.
