Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen (2019)

Holy Mother this is intense! While on the far left side of the heavy spectrum musically, it’s but a whisper, it still jolts you to the core.

The Who - Hits 50! (2014)

There’s no shortage of Who compilations. For me, this is the big, vinyl-worth one. 21 brilliant tracks covering 50 years, this is the ultimate showcase of their greatest, radio-friendly hits.

Automatic - Signal (2019)

Released just a few months ago, this debut record by LA trio “Automatic”, is possibly my find of the year. On non-stop rotation for the last couple of days it’s wormed it’s way into my brain.

Fat Freddy's Drop - Special Edition (Part 1) (2019)

It’s funky time. This new record maintains the high standard of previous releases. There’s no real surprises just straightforward reggae infused R’n’B and dub.

Boston - Boston (1976)

I’m not a proud man. How could I resist this 2016, 40th Anniversary Legacy vinyl picture disc for just $22! I’ve never really bought into the whole picture disc thing but in this case it convinced me enough to buy this record.

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.
