It’s that time of year, bloggers are making end-of-year lists and record labels are putting out compilations from the past 12 months.
Rough Trade are the first off the mark, signing off 2011 with a free MP3 sampler of their releases throughout the year. It’s a pretty tasty 12-track mix including the likes of The Strange Boys, Mystery Jets, British Sea Power, The Strokes and lots more from throughout the year. As a side note, how have I never listened to Jeffrey Lewis before this?
It’s available stream or download for free from Rough Trade’s website. Here’s a few very good reasons why you should!
