10 Recommendations from 1999

Here's ten CD's from 1999 that I can heartily recommend. It's not definitive and exhaustive - there's bound to be CD's that I have not bought that are equally as good - maybe a CD already had too many tracks that I already had but would otherwise be an excellent purchase. I would be glad of any feedback, comments etc by email. At some stage I'll incorporate full reviews with covers. All catalogue numbers are UK unless stated. Some are particularly good value - pay no more than £6 for the Al Green or Get Involved.
