![Officium [CASSETTE]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4183YNKVGGL._SL75_.jpg) | Officium [CASSETTE] by Garbarek
Bought this after hearing only 5 seconds on Radio 4. Worth every penny.
|
 | Zest by Edward ll
Buy used from: £14.99 Music to dance your socks off (and remember Fink Face) to - this mix of reggae, English country dance and jazz is lots of fun. (Current line-up now altered)
|
 | Wavelength by Van Morrison
Buy used from: £3.90 Another rediscovery from the cupboard-under-the-stairs vinyl hoard. 'Kingdom Hall' reminds me of great times in the 80's.
|
 | Passion by Peter Gabriel
Buy new: £9.88 / Used from: £8.42 'It does exactly what is says on the label'... Passionate, mesmeric and soulful.

|
 | Eyes Open by Youssou N'Dour
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £4.40 Not as raw as the earlier stuff; but excellent all the same. But I prefer him singing in his native Wolof language.
|
 | Muddy Water Blues by Paul Rodgers
Buy used from: £2.64 Aside from lots of old stuff by Free, the Muddy Waters covers are excellent. Saw the gig in 94 - a great night.
|

|

Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.24 Who would have thought that 'Wind Cries Mary' by Hendrix could be given such a classy new lease of life. And 'All at Sea' just makes me feel sad.
