Transcribing is finished.

Hi everyone. Given where I've been lifting the order of the first 100 entries to my Substack newsletter I thought I should mention it on the forum by now.

There are precious few of these on the internet or in print, slightly fewer than for openers, it still surprises me that an album orientated publication such as Mojo or Uncut have never tackled a top 100 of either - but there we go, niche market.

And somehow "Threads" by Portishead did not make it in any of these album closing list??!? Not even in the intense one??

Hi everyone, I've now got through 100-41 of the Top 100 albums on this website. So a good amount of variety, as you'll know. Fee; free to look around and join the other hundreds of subscribers.
