- Shack Here’s Tom with the Weather
- 1 December: The Shack story is one of music’s greatest legends. It incorporates hardship, bereavement and chaotic misadventure, but above all it tells the tale of beautiful music triumphing over trouble and tragedy. Here’s Tom with the Weather boasts a majestic and fresh form. These are magical songs, psychedelic folk songs of the finest Head vintage: sleepy-eyed, wistful and mystical, yet crafted with a cunning and acute dexterity beyond just about anybody else you can think of. The two profoundly Liverpudlian brothers Mick and John Head have made several brilliant albums together, but Tom showcases John’s slow, shy emergence as a songwriter to challenge his brother (on the sparkling, heartbreaking ‘Miles Apart’ and ‘Carousel’ and the spun-out ‘Kilburn High Road’), toasting Mick’s confirmation as the most unrecognised genius of his or any other generation (the ode to his bro, ‘Byrds Turn to Stone’, the mariachi horns that break open the slow folk fog of ‘Meant To Be’, the two lullaby bookends … and on, and on).

- New Order Substance 1987
- 10 November: Originally released on the legendary Factory Records, Substance compiled the 12" versions of all of New Order’s singles from 1981 to 1987 with many of their respective B-sides (on the CD and cassette versions), including specially recorded new versions of ‘Temptation’ and ‘Confusion’. The album also included the biggest-selling 12" single of all time, ‘Blue Monday’, alongside other classic singles such as ‘The Perfect Kiss’, ‘Bizarre Love Triangle’ and the band’s debut single, ‘Ceremony’. This expanded 4-CD collection includes the original 2-CD set newly remastered plus two additional CDs: one is packed with alternative versions and extra B-sides while the other features an unreleased live concert from Irvine Meadows, California, on 12 September 1987, where the band uniquely played the entire album in sequence.

- Gong Zero to Infinity
- Zero to Infinity is the tenth album from Gong, and the fifth instalment in the evolving saga of Zero the Hero. Unavailable as a standalone album for almost 20 years, it is now being released on vinyl on the original commissioning record label for the first time and features re-purposed album artwork by Daevid Allen. The album’s concept is based on Zero the Hero, the character introduced on the famous Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy: Flying Teapot, Angel’s Egg and You, in which the protagonist was seemingly trapped in the ever-repeating cycle of life and death. Zero is then shown a path to possible liberation through love where he evolves to exist on a non-physical plane, leading us to Zero to Infinity, where our hero discovers the advantages of a body-free, virtual existence.

- ABC The Lexicon of Love
- Few albums define a particular era as does The Lexicon of Love. It’s embedded deep in the fabric of popular culture: namechecked, referenced and, now, frequently featured in ‘best of all time’ polls. The album opened up the ’80s wide, in full, glorious Technicolor. In 1982, ABC became the toast of the world with this album, which also launched the production career of Trevor Horn. Like the greatest landmark albums, it has transcended its origins and is simply there, an ever-evolving testament to its marriage of youth, wit, creativity, technology, emotion, masterplan and happy accident.
