s the year draws to a close and we prepare for Yuletide festivities once again, our thoughts turn to the records which have accompanied us like friends throughout the previous 12 months, the albums we have danced to, pondered upon, been moved to weep by, and sung along to with boozy abandon when we thought no one was watching.
