February last year had a theme – albums with a highest chart position of number two. This year February will consist of some of the best albums I’ve listened to since I started Album of the Day on 28 December 2011.
Let’s start with my favourite album bought in 2012 – a lo-fi masterpiece from Baxter Dury.
