Novelty Waves (CDS) – Biosphere
This 90's electronic number was my most played single/ep last year, pop pickers!

Gorgeous George – Edwyn Collins
The one with the BIG hit single (pretty much a perfect number in my book) and the excellent lengthy opener, Campaign For Real Rock. He could be a sarcastic bugger at times!

Erratics & Uncomformities – Craven Faults
Netherfield Works EP - Craven Faults
Springhead Works EP - Craven Faults
Nunroyd Works EP - Craven Faults
Lowfold Reworks EP - Craven Faults
Several hours worth of goodies on one cd set. Craven Faults have provided some of my favourite pieces of music in more recent times.

Paranoid Ward EP – Patrik Fitzgerald
Picked up a noisy old copy of this last year. It mightn't be great quality but nothing can detract from how good some of these songs are.

Every Loser – Iggy Pop
Some/quite a bit is too trad rock for me tbh but it has its moments.

Translucence – Poly Styrene
It's hard to put into words how much I loved the first three X Ray Spex singles back then (and still do actually). I fully intended buying Poly's solo LP when it got released but I heard it at my mates and thought it was a bit rubbish. I finally got a copy in more recent times hoping that it would make more sense to me after all those years. It didn't. I played it again this week and whilst the more benevolent side of me would say it's got a certain charm, in truth I was right the first time. It is a bit rubbish.

International Times – Transglobal Underground
Hard to believe that this is now 30 years old. Some great numbers here.

Wild & Lonely – Associates

Now & Then (CDS) – The Beatles

Fantasy Island - Clinic

Glassforms – Bruce Brubaker / Max Cooper

On Pain – Lloyd Cole

This Years Model – Elvis Costello & the Attractions
