Buffalo Tom – “Asides from Buffalo Tom”
Cannonball Adderley – “Original Jazz Classics Collection”
Pixies – “Surfer Rosa” & “Come On Pilgrim”
Big Star – “Big Star’s Biggest”
Various – “Blue Bebop”, Blue Note sampler
Aim – “Cold Water Music”
Various – “Electric Blue”
Chris Mills -“Kiss It Goodbye”
D*Note – “Waiting Hopefully”
Sleater-Kinney – “Call The Doctor”
The Mighty Imperials – “Thunder Chicken”
The Velvet Underground – “Another View”
American Music Club – “Mercury”
Various – “Source Lab, Vol I”
Kate Bush – “Kick Inside”
