When I began compiling the shortlist for this some months back, I was worried I wouldn’t find enough tracks for a further volume. Updating the shortlist just the other day, I realised I have enough for at least 2 more volumes after this! Volume 5 is much like the others, a handful of well known artists amongst the mostly unknown, covering the years 1978 to 1984.
