The Don's selections include a Crucial Vinyl from Mercury Rev

Don's selections cross time, space and genre, plus his Crucial Vinyl is Mercury Rev's 1998 release Deserter's Songs.

As ever, the Don's selections cross time, space and genre. This week's Crucial Vinyl is Mercury Rev's Deserter's Songs, released in 1998.

Don says, "A classic independent record store discovery! My local store in West London has hipped me to a lot of good music over the years, but I digress, or possibly not, as I'd probably never have stumbled on this record otherwise. Anyway this American alternative rock outfit caught my ear with their experimental, psychedelic pop approach and I've been a fan ever since.".
