Thanks so much @ByersVinyl - I finally made it to my Mum's to find part 2 of my present (and part 1 in its pimped parcel, which my Mum hadn't sent me). I know of Roy Harper but I've never checked him out. Super excited to do so. Cheers again!

😂 I did get some intel on where the good stuff is to be had

Met up with the legend that is @Selaws who was so kind to give me this. Super thankful, and looking forward to getting home to give these a spin. Cheers!

January 12: The Mandalorian Way – Play a lone wolf Ali Toure - Dit "Farka" Most of the classic African stuff is from bands, but this is a v fine exception. Love these five Sonafric albums of his, playing the African blues.

Woo-hoo - you, sir, are a gent of the highest order. Super stoked to see what we receive!

January 11: The Princess’s Theme – Play an ass-kicking female artist Stina Nordenstam - And She Closed Her Eyes One of my favourite 90s albums...

January 10: Smuggler’s Groove The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium

January 9: Jabba’s Sail Barge – We’re on a boat! Steely Dan - Gaucho Somebody say yacht rock?! Damn, this disc sounds good through my new amp.

January 8: Anakin/Vader Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story Growing up in the 90s, I kind of thought Stewart was a joke. Until I discovered albums like this and the Faces...

January 7: Luke, I am your father Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Sleeps With Angels One of my favourite of NY. In "Prime of Life", I always thought it sounded like my Mum calling out my name. I always used to go out of my room and shout "what is it?" to general befuddlement.

I've got my great-granddad's Omega Constellation, which is very precious to me. It's unfortunately a little temperamental....

Just showed this to my gf to show, you know, how reasonable my set-up is. Her only comment: "He must live alone".

One of my all-time favourite albums (although definitely not britpop). Such talented musicians (plus Ian Brown) and such great tunes. This also allows me to relate my dislike of the Manics (which makes these pages painful reading most of the time). The Roses were a bit too early for me for...

January 6: Dagobah Meditations Sandy Denny - Early Home Recordings Whatever praise Nick Drake gets so should Sandy Denny. Most days my favourite English folk singer. These discs are surprisingly good quality.

January 5: Rise of the Sith Love - Forever Changes Light, folk melodies meet dark, menacing lyrics.

January 4: The Cantina Vibes Average White Band - Live at the Rainbow Theatre, 1974 Few white guys have been as funky as these...

January 3: The Force Awakens Ben Folds Five

January 2: Andor’s Resolve Resilient Vessels - Live at the Cell Going literal on this one. James Brandon Lewis is probably my favourite of current jazz players, and this is another great outing by him.

January 1: A New Hope The Beatles - Live at the BBC Not a real debut album, but kind of. Love all these cover versions, reminders of where the Beatles come from.

Oh wow, would love it. Over in London in a couple of weeks. Cheers!
