The Beta Band - The 3 EPs
The Beta Band - The Beta Band
The Beta Band - Happiness & Colour/The Hut

The Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
The Incredible String Band - Wee Tam & The Big Huge
The Incredible String Band - Changing Horses (such a sudden dip in standards on this album coming after the masterpieces that preceded it, but Dust Be Diamonds is an undeniable earworm and closing epic Creation is one of Robin's most impressive compositions, even if it doesn't quite know when to stop!)

Fuchsia - Fuchsia
Fuchsia - Fuchsia, Mahagonny & Other Gems
Fuchsia - Fuchsia II: From Psychedelia ... To A Distant Place

The Beach Boys - Shut Down Vol.2
The Beach Boys - All Summer Long
The Beach Boys - Concert
The Beach Boys - Keep an Eye on Summer: The Beach Boys Sessions 1964
The Beach Boys - Top Gear Session 1964

Suzanne Vega - Suzanne Vega
Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing

Trio - Trio
Trio - Live Im Frühjahr 82
Trio - Bye Bye

Short Romans - 37 Guitars

Paul Weller - Cosmic Fringes (PSB remix) (thanks to Fitter Stoke for alerting me to this - bit disappointed by the latest PSB LP, the first I didn't bother buying in 35 years of fandom, but this is more like it. They should do more long tracks like this - the 12 minutes really gives them a chance to stretch out)

The Monkees - Reunion Volume One (imaginary album using 1970-1972 solo projects - they were all actively creating music at this point, with Peter helping Micky with his excellent Easy On You/Oh Someone single and Davy and Mike both having full LPs to draw on)
Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart - Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart (very lacklustre album with a half-hearted sci-fi concept introduced on side 2 for no apparent reason)
The Monkees - Pool It! (have to admit there are a few good songs on this horribly dated album - if only they could be stripped of the 80s production and redone in a proper Monkees style)
The Monkees - Justus (sometimes misguided proper reunion album, especially the turgid retread of Circle Sky that opens proceedings, but Peter's bassline enhances the Dolenz/Jones composition You & I first heard on DJB&H in the same way his bassline brought a suitably circular motif to the kinetic live version of Circle Sky in the Head movie)
The Monkees - Good Times (lyrically inane at times but this is the genuine return to form we'd been waiting for with all the previous reunions)
The Monkees - Live: The Mike & Micky Show (what a brilliant live album this is - a rather leaden take on Going Down aside the choice of material is inspired and the backing band sparkles - Mike's son Christian did a great job mixing it too)

Organisation - Tone Float
Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk
Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk 2

Klaus Schulze - Black Dance
