I am but one man, and for all the excellent records I’ve heard in 2015 there’s also one I’ve missed, meaning that the end of year list I published yesterday may have some exclusions which maybe don’t deserve to  be exclusions. I think the final list is pretty solid, but there’s a bunch of records I should’ve considered, or at least listened to enough to assign them a place. My countdown was never going to be perfect, and I feel I should at least mention a few releases which were probably good enough to make the list, but didn’t because of my neglect / naivety. Apologies.
