The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include Crucial Vinyl from Finley Quaye.

Each week, as well as picking key new releases and classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica and beyond, Don highlights a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him and features three key tracks. This week he selects Finley Quaye's Maverick A Strike, released in 1997.

Don says, "Yet another astounding debut - this album's a culture clash of musical styles all with a reggae-fied flow. Finley's excellent vocal delivery has echoes of vintage Burning Spear, yet it remains distinctly his own. This killer combination really set this record apart from anything else that was out there at the time - it's an absolute must-have.".
