The Best Albums to Own Next Month

__________

WE have seen a lot of great albums come out...

this month but I feel April is going to be another hot one. There are a couple of weeks left but I wanted to look at some of the records you will want to own! It is always hard to get to grips with all the great music coming out but there are some definite standouts from the April-due records. If you have some spare pennies and are looking for what to own next month, I have collected together the essential releases. The days are getting warmer and longer so it is a great time to invest in music. That might sound strange but we are happier when the weather is finer and I feel this season is conducive to a lot of musical passion and fresh investigation – less fatigued than we are in the winter time. As I say, it is challenging deciphering the best from the average but here, in this assortment, are the albums you need to get involved with...
