Bill Callahan - Shepherd In A Sheepskin Vest (2019)

This record is like your very own private audience with Bill Callaghan. The songs are intimate and slightly discomforting, but it’s always very, very engaging.

XTC - Skylarking (1986)

Is this the perfect pop record? A faultless masterpiece from Swindon’s finest. Aside from the Beatles, I cannot think of another consistently brilliant band.

Group 1850 - Paradise Now [TIDAL](1969)

I recently spotted a reference to Group 1850 in a recent “Shindig!” magazine. [By the way Shindig! is now on Readly , an incredibly cheap and efficient way of getting access to ALL of your favourite magazines digitally.

Super Furry Animals - Guerilla (1999)

A big hefty chunk of vinyl playing at 45rpm, a “hidden” track on side one you play backwards, a pop-up cardboard engineer in the recording studio inside the lavish gatefold cover, and lots of a complete off-kilter, genre-bending tunes/experiments throughout!

Gang Of Four - Entertainment (1979)

An extraordinary and incendiary relic of the punk/post punk era. Musically and politically, this is such a grab bag of the best bits of the last five years of 70’s England.
