During November and December on It Starts I've been mopping up great records that I've missed along the way. Scouring other end of year lists and giving as many as I can a listen.
It's been a great illustration if one is needed of how pointless drawing up lists of best records in the hope of something definitive at the end of a calendar year is in 2024. For every great record that you hear, there are always at least five that you haven't noticed or will probably not even hear. Any one of the 25 records listed below could have made my own list of 200. Several of them pretty damn high. So here we go. In no particular order.
