A-Z 51 Belle & Sebastian - If You’re Feeling Sinister



Love this album, and thanks to @Joe Mac for giving me his copy. In 1996 I was full-on alt-metal/grunge, but had grown up with a fairly wide range of music. A coworker at my student job got me into this and opened my music worldview (even if this did come from a few postcodes away). Eternally grateful that I now have fairly catholic tastes.

A-Z 52 - Belle & Sebastian - Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance



Hmm, don’t know about this. Modern B&S is a bit hit and miss. Happy to keep for now, but if space becomes a premium this could go.

This and Combat Rock are the two albums I'm most grateful to my co-workers at my first job back in '98 for introducing me to.

A-Z 53 & 54 - Belle & Sebastian - How to Solve Our Human Problems Part 1&2



Modern B&S patchiness hits again. Never got part 3, and I don’t know if I’m in a huge rush to get it.

A-Z 55 - Jorge Ben - Africa Brasil



Think I swapped when this was the VMP AoTM, but then listened to it and fell in love. Rejoined to get Spiritualized and picked this up. Such a good album, and sounds great through the Lintons.

So I've realized that due to checking out lots of weekly releases, I've bought a lot of great new releases in 2021.

I've decided to create a Best of 2021 for all the vinyl records of that year I've got and to give them a playthrough during the next weeks. Order is subjective and depends on current mood.

I start with No. 60 -
Slowthai "Tyron"

 

[Bluecloud777]

Best of 2021

No 59
Mdou Moctar "Afrique victime"

A-Z 56 & 57 - George Benson -Buzzin’ & In Flight



Not my cup of tea.

 

[Slimwhit33]

Neil Young
Young Shakespeare

Great live album. Little warped, but sounds great.
