The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead

Never listened to a Smiths album until 1991, I wish I had got into them at school

Paul McCartney - Ram
Blood Sweat & Tears - Child is Father to the Man

A more recent one would be Todd Terje - It's Album Time. When it was was released I was on holiday in Europe and it was all over the record shops but had idea idea what it was.

I wouldn't have minded hearing an album by The Lijadu Sisters when I was in my late teens but I'd no way of finding one at all. All I had was a vhs recording from the telly. I think I was near forty by the time I tracked down an unplayed original pressing of 'Horizon Unlimited'. All of their albums have been on reissue for several years now. I should have had a copy of 'Danger' when I was seventeen.

I should have had that Baby Huey & the Babysitters album well before the 21st Century too. That is the shizz. Every home should have two copies!

I didn't get the Marva Whitney album until Soul Brother re-issued it. I would occasionally see it on walls for mega-£££ that I wasn't up for paying.

Lee Moses - Time and Place. Another lost wonder. Managed to get it when it had a brief reappearance in 2008 then it went expensive again but it got another reissue in 2015.

Good music can be very elusive and expensive and it can take ages to get certain things if at all at a price you're prepared to pay.

More some albums that I wished I'd really listened to sooner.

Some time in 2008 saw a new album by Bert Jansch on the shelf in my local record shop, Black Swan. Well Bert to me back in the day was another voice among many and as a young lad caught up in the rush of 60s music one that got lost in the noise.

But I was into folk back then, had seen him play and friends had his albums, didn't buy one myself till Rosemary Lane. So to go with Black Swan I bought "It Don't Bother Me". I don't know why I didn't get how good Bert was back then. I wish I had.

Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette

I only started listening to her music fairly recently. It's a great album.

Loads of Dylan ones, but mainly Blood on the Tracks, Nashville Skyline and Freewheelin. All absolute masterpieces.

Yeah, I can go with that. I remember when I was fifteen listening to Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica and loudly claiming 'What is this bullsh!t??' Ah, to be that young again...
