As we get near the end of another long, long year for Fruits de Mer (even longer if you're trying to keep up with our releases), who better to ask for 2019 recommendations than FdM club members? Some excellent suggestions - and the odd downright weird one - from classic reissues to cutting-edge first albums - a selection of them will be posted here.
And NO FdM releases are included - of course, I like to think that's because I asked club members not to include them... (This is just a selections of club members' recommendations - some of their youtube links have already been disabled due to copyright issues - but it's proving an expensive competition for me - three albums ordered as a result of listening to recommendations already)
