THE RECORD COLLECTING YEAR OF 2015 IN REVIEW
This mix is a selection of my favorite record finds made during the past year. Originally compiled as a christmas present for a few select (albeit uninterested) friends and co-workers, I’ve finally decided to let this monstrosity loose for all to see.
Some of these are old time wants that was finally scored during 2015, others are new acquantainces. Some rare, some common, some expensive, some cheap; with all sorts of genres represented. Centered around the 80:s and late 70:s as well as my own shitty taste, of course. I hope you’ll enjoy!!
As always, a million thanks to monster collectors and all around best dudes AJPN&Kaotic-san for hipping me up to more than a few of these and for always providing inspiration!

“John mentioned (probably with a groan) that people were always asking what it meant and how they’d thought of it, and Bill replied - with Mersey Beat in mind - ‘Why don’t you tell them?’
So John wrote the history of the Beatles, and because he and George were knocking around together, he was on hand to contribute. John had been happy to let Paul help him write a comic piece or two in 1958, notably ‘On Safari With Whide Hunter’, now he allowed George to get involved in what became known as 'Being A Short Diversion On The Dubious Origins Of Beatles’.” - From The Beatles - All These Years: Tune In by Mark Lewisohn
