Music Year 2022
Of course, it's too early for a year-end list. But as the proto-fascist
organization of my youth insisted, one should always be prepared. For
records in hand, * identifies an advance copy, ** something borrowed
or streamed.
Some albums released in previous years are included here, noted by a
"-NN" (e.g., -21 for 2021) -- these are mostly imports or self-releases,
often hard to figure out official dates, but they were either December
2020 releases or unknown (to me, at least) before the current year.
I keep adding to the 2021
until the end of calendar 2022, especially where the record was known
to exist in 2021 and I'm just getting around to it.

Reissues/Compilations/Vault Music:
In previous years I tried to separate reissues from compilations,
including newly released vault items in the latter. This made sense
when I was reviewing a lot of Recycled Goods material, but led to
other problems with year-end lists, so as of 2013 anything containing
any previously released material is collected here, and anything that
is wholly previously unreleased is treated as new, above.
