Nadia Reid - Preservation (2017)

I was completely wowed by Nadia Reid’s first record, “Listen to Formation Look for the Signs”. It was right up there with my favourite records of 2015.

Elton John - Madman Accross The Water (1971)

One of my watershed albums. As a new college entrant I was now getting exposed to proper, grown up music. Despite this, I still slept and ate everything Reg and Bernie produced.

10CC - Sheet Music (1974)

Another fantastic sounding remaster from 10cc’s early catalogue. An incredibly diverse range of genres and oh so clever-Trevor-ness. Self-referential and up it’s own arse but extremely engrossing all the same.

Gary Clark Jr. - The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim (2015)

I haven’t spent a lot of time with this one, (I picked it up for $1.67 a few weeks back), but what I do hear is not what I expected.

LCD Soundsystem - American Dream (2017)

This record was very recently voted “Record of the Year” 2017 by Uncut Magazine. Up until today, I did not own this record.

10CC - 10CC (1973)

I dropped the needle on this big slap of recently remastered ruby red vinyl and gasped in stunned disbeleif. If there’s ever an argument in favour of vinyl over digital - this just has to be it.

John Cooper Clarke - The Very Best Of (2002)

Cracking retrospective of the legendary punk poet John Cooper Clarke. His is a name that’s cropped up many times over the years but he was not really appreciated until well into his 60’s.

Yes - Close To The Edge (1972)

I’m not sure if I was exposed to this record first or the earlier “The Yes Album”. Whatever the case was, the impact was astounding but just not a positive one at the time.

Passenger - Whispers (2014)

Another $5 bargain bin escapee. I’ve always been curious about this one but never bothered pursuing. Beautifully packaged, I couldn’t lose!

Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafitti (1975)

OMG I need this this evening! The bastards at work are getting me down big time. It’s time to purge. In May 2015 I wrote:
