Albums of the Year 2020 // Comps & Reissues
We collected a list of compilation and reissue titles that kept and held our attention throughout 2020. These records represent years of tireless work by independent labels who invest their time, money, and manpower to thoughtfully and artfully give new life to these wonderful, rare, and enriching sounds. These records commemorate momentary innovative microcultures, disregarded subgenres, bizarre and eccentric historic personalities, overlooked hobbyists, and the early, formerly out-of-print material from some of today’s beloved musical cult icons.
Please consider purchasing the titles you discover from this list to support the labels dedicated to unearthing and collecting more wonderous sounds from this planet’s rich past.
