The Zombies : Odessey & Oracle (German Bonus Tracks)
Is there a better record to underscore an English summer's day?

Graham Parker & The Rumour : Live At Marble Arch
Early live-in-the-studio set. Arguably a better representation of The Rumour on stage than either of the first two studio albums or the live one.

Elvis Costello : Imperial Bedroom & Blood and Chocolate
Elvis Presley : King Creole
Black Tempest : Proxima

Shelby Lynne : I Am Shelby Lynne
A fantastic Country-Got-Soul record with enough of that "Dusty In Memphis" magic to lift this out of the very good category into the essential. If Al Green transmogrified into a white, gay and female country singer then this is the record he would make. Probably.

ELP - Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends
Never my favourite band (even back then) and they were always a bit of a curate's egg - capable of music of genuine beauty one moment and all the subtlety of a stun grenade the next. Rampant ego, lack of an independent editorial hand and the two's-company-three's-a-crowd syndrome all contribute. Most of the time two of then seem to be battling it out for musical supremecy while the third tries to keep his head down until the storm passes. Still worth it for those passages where it all comes together.

Greenslade - Bedside Manners Are Extra
Gryphon - Red Queen To Gryphon Three
Julian Cope - Unruly Imagination
The Blue Nile- Hats
Yes- Fragile
