Review: I Will Always Love You: The Best Of Whitney Houston should be in everyone's collection. The American R&B great reached heights that few artists ever have or ever will. Her tragic demise means that her legacy is persevered while she was still at the top, and this posthumous greatest hits album - originally released in November 2012, but only now landing on wax - includes tracks from across her whole career. There are remastered versions of 'Greatest Love Of All,' 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' and 'I have Nothing' as well as a previously unreleased song 'Never Give Up.' It's one that you will keep on coming back to time and time again.

Review: Kruder & Dorfmeister's Conversions mix album takes you right back to 1996, when the Austrian duo were taking inspiration from the UK d&b pioneers and giving the sound their own lounge-y twist. For the first time since the mix was released, it's being presented as a partially mixed double vinyl edition, giving you access to some of the seminal cuts which make the mix such an enduring classic. From the easy lead in of DJ Unknown Face's 'Dat's Cool' to the soulful vocal licks and skittering breaks of Omni Trio's 'Nu Birth Of Cool' on to the cosmic jungle of Space Link's 'Time Zone', it's a masterclass through and through.

Review: Primal Scream's Dixie-Narco EP was released in 1992 and is an often rather overlooked gem from the band's output in the early 90s. It was laid down at Memphis's Ardent Studios and was an experimental continuation of the sounds they had explored on their legendary Screamadelica album. Everything form country blues to acid house to rock gets distilled across the four tunes, and there is even a rare Dennis Wilson cover included. The EP has long been out of print and very hard to find but thanks to this special Record Store Day reissue - a first since 1992 - fans can now add it to their collection.

Review: British alternative indie band The Wedding Present's third studio was recorded in just 10 days in America. Steve Albini was the producer which means the music has a more raw and rough edge that the first two albums. It is often placed highly in all time top albums lists by noteworthy outlets like The Guardian and this double 12" package takes in the full original album as well as three EPs - 3 Songs, Dalliance, and Lovenest, and a John Peel BBC Radio 1 Session from 1991 that saw the band play versions of four different tracks from the album.
