Well we’re nearly halfway through 2016 and I thought it would be a good point to stop and reflected on some of the great albums that have already come out this year. Once again it has been a fabulous year for my sort of music so here are the fifteen albums (ok one’s a box set), including a few re-issues, that I have dug the most over the last six months (in no particular order). Enjoy!
