Global A Go-Go presents:

Global A Go-Go: Wednesday December 14, 3:00-5:00 PM

It’s the most wonderful time of the year ….  That’s right, it’s the time of the year when Global A Go-Go unwraps its favorite albums of the last 12 months.

This week, it’s my Top Ten new releases of 2016, plus ten honorable mentions.  Next week, you’ll hear my favorite compilations, reissues and historic recordings of the year.  And on December 28, it’s the best of the rest: all the great songs that didn’t fit onto the previous two programs.

And without further ado, here’s Global A Go-Go’s Top Ten new releases of 2016 (with links to my reviews):
