The Beatles - Help!
The Beatles - Rubber Soul
The Beatles - Revolver

Spirogyra - St. Radigunds
Spirogyra - Old Boot Wine

Neu! - Neu! 75
Neu! - Neu! 86

Tim Hardin - Tim Hardin 1
Tim Hardin - Tim Hardin 2
Tim Hardin - Tim Hardin 3: Live In Concert
Tim Hardin - Tim Hardin 4
Tim Hardin - This Is Tim Hardin

Bobby Darin - If I Were A Carpenter
Bobby Darin - Inside Out (first discovered Tim Hardin's songs at a young age via my mum's copy of Bobby Darin's 'If I Were A Carpenter' LP. I know Hardin wasn't happy with Darin apparently copying his phrasing and generally smoothing his songs out, but he certainly brings out the melodicism in the songs, and the arrangements built upon the originals are often gorgeous).

Electric Light Orchestra - On The Third Day
Electric Light Orchestra - Face The Music

Love Live Life + One - Love Will Make a Better You

Masahiko Satoh & Sound Breakers - Amalgamation

Vangelis - Alexander
Vangelis - Nocturne

Kate Bush - Aerial
Kate Bush - Before The Dawn (it's getting on for 5 years since this amazing run of 22 nights Kate did at Hammersmith and we really need a DVD release to capture the full audio-visual splendour rather than this rather muddily mastered CD. Still can't quite decide if extending 'A Sky of Honey' to over an hour was overstretching it somewhat in the cause of a full length second act, but it does build up to a satisfying acid rock climax).

Popol Vuh - Affenstunde

Flower Travellin' Band - Make Up

Far East Family Band - Parallel World

Lilys - Ecsame The Photon Band

Country Club 12” - Associates
Rockaway Beach 7” - Motorhead
Dream Baby Dream 12” – Suicide
Extravaganza EP – Jah Wobble & the Electro Dub
Some RSD releases. Unlike the others, the Wobble ep is new AFAIK...and on one listen I have to say it's excellent! And Motorhead doing Rockaway Beach is a blast!!

White Session (D/L) - Devendra Banhart
Great to hear this old radio session again. I loved this period of his career.

Gallipoli – Beirut
It's fair to say that I didn't always like my daughters musical choices when she lived at home, but then I don't think she was terribly keen on a lot of mine either! But I did quite like one... Beirut, who with their twisted trumpet and accordion sounds had me calling them 'drunken music'. Anyway, I ended up going to see them last week with her and really enjoyed them. Good singer, great brass sounds (best use of the trombone in pop since Dexys?) and yes, there were times when I thought it was 'drunken music'!!

Dub Will Tear Us Apart - Jah Division
It does what it says on the tin. Now reissued thankfully.

Dreads Enter The Gates With Praise – Bunny Lee
Fab compilation.

Stunning Luxury – Snapped Ankles
You know...the ones who dress like trees. Musically...I guess they are somewhere between Devo and The Fall. Ish. Really enjoyable all the same.

Top Of The Poppers Sing & Play The Hits Of David Bowie
I've got the Top Of The Poppers Play T.Rex so when I heard that a Bowie equivalent had come out I just had to get it, even though those lovely people at Norman records said it was the worst record they had ever stocked! So what you get is a collection of nine Bowie songs - Life On Mars, Starman, Space Oddity, etc all the way up to Fashion (who knew they still made those copycat albums in 1980?!) with a slight detour via a Bolan sounding 'Lulu' on The Man Who Sold The World - from those 'not by the original artist' Top Of The Pops LP's. On a very seventies looking purple vinyl to boot! (Platform boots obviously) Now I know lots of folk will think it's rubbish but l'm a sucker for this kind of thing.

The Paralian – Andrew Wasylyk
Recent release I stumbled upon via Norman Records recommendations. Mournful and rather lovely at times.

Also...
Marcus Garvey / Garvey's Ghost - Burning Spear
Hail H.I.M. - Burning Spear

The Future – Leonard Cohen
Ten New Songs – Leonard Cohen

Brigg Fair (D/L 45) - The Ilk

Hollow Earth – Pye Audio Corner

Aftermath – Rolling Stones

Flamende Herzen - Michael Rother
The Robbers/Houston - Michael Rother

Reborn -Sweet Nico

Motor City Soul (Mojo cd) – V/A

Angel In The House (D/L) - Wil & Tarl

Death And Vanilla – Are You A Dreamer? Pleasant, but they’ve mastered the Broadcast/Ghost Box playbook so effectively that, for me, it's music that doesn’t really touch the sides.

VA – Plastic Dance 2. Finders Keepers comp of Euro synthy/dancey stuff from the early 80s. Diverting if not always entirely enjoyable.

Gong – The Universe Also Collapses

Modern Nature – Nature EP. Really liking this, Krauty folktronica, features member of BEAK>, recommended https://modernnature.bandcamp.com/album/nature-ep

The Hardy Tree – Stagdale EP

Yeah, I enjoyed their early releases for the reasons you state, but they do seem to be treading water on the last few records. Time to shake it up a bit.
