That is an insanely good list of albums Jim. Been mining them for the last couple of hours. Hard to find them all though. So far I have had to use four different sites, Amazon, Prostudiomasters, Hdtracks and Ponomusic to gather a dozen or so albums out of your list.

Thank you so much for creating it.

Thanks.

I purchased most of them from Amazon and occasionally Amazon UK. A couple of them I have also tagged into Sooloos via Tidal so I could also have the Deluxe version with added tracks. Sam Brookes latest wasn't released via Amazon so I picked it up via Bandcamp.

Sounds good. I'm always looking for new artists and music.
