ARCHIE ROACH "creation"
an Australian Indigenous singer/songwriter.
this 4cd box set contains his first four studio albums.
the guy has a calming voice when he sings and really does sing from his soul.
i am familiar with some of his music but have never heard an album so this is something im looking forward to hearing.

LEONARD COHEN "the complete studio albums collection"
originally released in 2011 but updated a year ago to include his final two studio albums...
so, a 15cd box set, which completes my collection of which i only had 5 albums of his plus a couple of compilations...
looking forward to listening to the albums i am not familiar with

THE BEATLES "1967-1970" aka "the blue album"
the new remastered version released a couple of months ago..
contains 3 LP's as opposed to the original release from the mid 1970s which was double vinyl.
this one contains a further 10 tracks plus that new "now and then" song.
not a fan of that new song but it does keep my collection of 'official' Beatles recordings complete.
