I've been collecting records for as long as I can remember, and sometimes it's easy to skip over things, and forget what you've got. I'm going to start listening to things in alphabetical order, it give me a chance to look through my collection again, and give me an opportunity to share things with other music lovers, and vinyl collectors.
The rules are simple, I will start at A, and choose an artist from my collection beginning with that letter, next day I move on to B, then C, etc.
Almost there with only a couple to go, it's taken me a little longer than I expected to get to the end but I'll have this all tied up by Christmas!

Before their biggest successes they recorded a few albums in which they experimented with different styles, shaping their sound, recording cover versions as well as original sounds, and here integrating orchestral arrangements. It's a mixed bag and has some great tracks. I was lucky enough to pick up an original copy with the famous red and purple Atlantic labels...
