A very consistent list! I bought most of these records and gatefold vinyl from FJM and Wintersleep are definitely the best looking records I’ve bought this year.
I still need to check out one or two of these. Also I’m slightly surprised at the omission of Damian Jurado.
Aarrgh – always miss one – always. Quite right – should certainly have made an appearance! Thanks for the comments.
