This week's chart is based on this week's plays - and the position of Mr Van Zandt at the top of the pile is more a reflection that Domino were kind enough to send me seven full-length reissues the other day than any late-come conversion to bearded 70s rock. I'm not even sure how much I like him - but I sure as skanking know how I much I love The Skatalites, Theo Beckford, Terry Hall, Susan Cadogan, Rhoda Dakar and the rest of the gang.
