To complete my highlights of the year gone-by, following my favourite songs, movies and club tracks, time to name my best albums of 2017. All of these have been on heavy rotation at Chez Seaman this year and come highly recommended. Well worth checking out. Looking forward to discovering lots more new music in 2018. Happy New Year everyone. x
