Happy Friday Drivers!
To wrap up the year I’ll be running through some releases that tickled my fancy from 2022 in no particular order and may dig into some reissues and compilations that stood out all from vinyl issues.
Truly a subjective selection with no counting or science involved and there’s probably a whole whack of music I’m missing today but let’s make the most of the next two hours.
Thank you for taking the time wherever and whenever you may be listen.
Enjoy the ride!
Wishing you all the best that 2023 can bring!
