2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Breakfast treat...
The Pretenders. The Singles. On the original Sire CD from 1987. As compilations go I find this one outstanding. All 16 tracks brilliant and brimming with energy. Great mastering for an early CD.
Tidal
Got the morning off and this is fitting the bill.

Wanting some more from All Them Witches and this Bandcamp download from last year ticks all the right rock boxes, desert, blues, stoner, psychedelic, Nashville...
Last run of this before heading out. Tidal - might have to purchase this one ....
Elvis Costello & The Attractions - "Armed Forces" (1979)
On CD. Always good to write to, the Dead.
Future Islands - "On The Water" (2011)
UK first press vinyl

Andrew Bird - "Are You Serious" (2016)
Vinyl:
Elton John - Rock Of The Westies
My Morning Jacket - "Circuital" (2011)
This is an excellent sounding 3 box CD package. It also has an accompanying DVD of Van's London Rainbow concert from July 23 & 24th 1973 ( not played yet). The original ITLTSN is one of the very best sounding live albums in my collection and has been a staple test record mine longer than I care to remember and it would be nice to see this set released on vinyl...
I will jump in with some Van as well.
Van Morrison - "Too Long In Exile" (1993) includes some tracks with John Lee Hooker including:

Another of the excellent albums by Gazpacho, one of my favourites and the one I'm in the mood for right now.
