2008 Year End List Mentions: Anthologies/Reissues
These are records that show up in various year-end lists, except
new releases. The focus is on new releases,
so the following are incidental pickups. Those
in blue are ones I have in more/less final
form. Those in green I have as stripped
down promos or don't have but have managed to hear somehow. The
numbers in {} are the number of mentions.
