I grew up with the songs of «South Pacific» (for example).  When I saw 
the movie in my forties, I found the plot weak and the songs stale. 
More recently I acquired[*] an album of a more recent production, and 
find some of the songs moderately enjoyable.

from the estate sale and destined for the dump; I rescued a stack of CDs 
and a little painting
