The most perfect compilation ever (well in my eyes anyway)...this is possibly the only album on BEA where I've rated every single track at 90+. [First added to this chart: 10/06/2015]

The Jam were a great singles band and with half the songs here not appearing on any of their studio LP's, 'Snap' is far more essential than most career spanning compilations. [First added to this chart: 06/03/2016]

Moz & Marr were such prolific and great songwriters you can put together a pretty amazing album just made up of B sides, many of which appear on this compilation.

1. How Soon Is Now (it was a B before it became an A side)
2. London
3. Rubber Ring
4. You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby
5. Is It Really So Strange

7. Girl Afraid

Refried Ectoplasm (Switched On Volume 2) 
Compilation

 Stereolab

This is actually my favourite release by Stereolab but being a compilation I've not included it in my top 100. Saddens me to see this wonderful double album down in 9th place in their discography on this site. So many great tracks but John Cage Bubblegum, French Disko and Lo Boob Oscillator are seriously great Stereolab tracks. Play this one Loud!!! [First added to this chart: 04/07/2015]

I saw Heavenly in their prime on several occasions but none were more poignant than watching them bring down the curtain on Sarah Records at the Thekla in Bristol back in 1995...a very happy sad moment. [First added to this chart: 05/20/2016]
