Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

11. Bob LindThe Elusive Bob Lind

Again, a pretty disgusting cover. That wasn’t my intention with this collection – I wasn’t trying to pick the worst or most ironic sleeves I could. But I suppose a couple I did end up choosing after realising how disgusting they were. This one is horrible. Again, the record has such a magic about it… I think it’s best to listen with your eyes shut. The album is really great folk. I first heard the song called ‘Summer’ on that Jarvis Cocker compilation The Trip. I heard it and thought there’s no way the whole album is going to be as good, and it was.
