TOP ELEVEN REISSUES OF THE YEAR
1. Various - Where The Action Is (Rhino) - Andrew Sandoval and Alec Palao deserve medals for this.
2. Harmonia & Eno ’76 - Tracks and Traces (Grönland)
3. Various - Clap Your Hands Stamp Your Feet (Excelsior Recordings)

6. Various – Saint Etienne Present Songs For The Dog & Duck (Ace)
7. The Master’s Apprentices – same (Aztec Music)

10. Heldon – same (Wah Wah)
11. Pari Zangeneh – The Series Of Music For Young Adults Iranian Folk Songs (Institute For The Intellectual Development Of Children And Young Adults) – OK, it’s a bootleg, but how else are you going to get a 1976 Iranian album that sounds like the middle-eastern Stereolab?
