A Black Friday - unlucky for some ! I'm sorry to say that this is my very last solo compilation. It's been more than 5 years since the first one I ever put together, Prime Cuts, in early May 2009 on the original TVD blog. I've had a couple of false endings before, but this really is it.
I loved sharing my taste over the past five years and it never seemed like hard work. Here's the last comp. It's the usual eclectic mix you may have come to expect by now - a bumper bundle of my favorites. In the past I've deliberately left out label, year, album info as the intention was that, if you found something of interest, you would do some further research yourself. But, as a parting gift, all the sources are detailed this time. I hope you enjoy it. RossyBoy
