30. Mike Oldfield – Tubular Bells
29. Various – Tribal Rites Of The New Saturday Night
27=Prince – Diamonds & Pearls SDE

2. Joni Mitchell – Archives Volume 3 (Asylum Years 1972-1975)
1. Bob Dylan – Fragments: Time Out Of Mind Sessions (1996-7)
If I’d have remembered, I’d have voted for Little Feat, both of which are excellent. Dylan won by just two points with a vote very late on. I felt a pang of disappointment for Joni.
The Beatles at 3 surprises me. Whole thing seems a bit rushed to me some mixes are good, some are awful and I think the extended tracklisting has some very strange choices.
Great work Tiggs, but you said “Only Afterworders made full use of their compliment of nominations” Who were the others who didn’t and why were they allowed to vote? I think we should be told.
Although I think you meant to say “Only 347 Afterworders… or maybe 3.
Received wisdom (or maybe just me) says the Blue over the Red, but not in this chart.
Guessing it’s the expanded track list and sonic shenanigans which reverse the order
I’ve always rated Interview highly, which makes me unusual even among GG fans. So, of course, the Wilson remix was going to be high on my 10, but a non-starter for the “Uncut” crew (stealing terminology from the “new” thread!).

Good work @Tiggerlion and rapidly collated, thank you and a Happy & Healthy New Year to you and all AYWers
fentonsteve says
If I’d got round to posting in time, I’d have included the Fun Boy Three CD/DVD box and Dance Craze blu-ray/CD sets.
I’d forgotten all about the Blue Rose Code set.

Junior Wells says
Frank Zappa and Little Feat thwarted by split votes.
But Bob on top 👍
Oh yeah. Great work Tig.
dai says
Good work.
The Beatles at 3 surprises me. Whole thing seems a bit rushed to me some mixes are good, some are awful and I think the extended tracklisting has some very strange choices.
fitterstoke says
Yebbut – Beatles, Dai…Beatles…frankly, I’m amazed that it didn’t take the top spot.
Tiggerlion says
That’s why red is higher than blue. The mixes and additional song choices are way better. Blue only has a few new mixes anyway.
Baron Harkonnen says
Great work Tiggs, but you said “Only Afterworders made full use of their compliment of nominations” Who were the others who didn’t and why were they allowed to vote? I think we should be told.
Although I think you meant to say “Only 347 Afterworders… or maybe 3.
Tiggerlion says
Yes. There is a number missing from that sentence. In my defence, I was flustered by all the text disappearing when I first tried to post at one am.
I’ll get back to you.
Tiggerlion says
Only sixteen Afterworders made full use of their complement of ten votes.

Excellent work. Thanks.
fitterstoke says
Excellent work, Tiggs – and apparently incorruptible…
Hoist him shoulder- high!
Get him a jigger of his favoured tincture!
Tiggerlion says
For the purposes of the tape, Gentle Giant’s Interview came 46th with 9 points. 🙂
fitterstoke says
Well, quite…thanks, Tiggs.
I’ve always rated Interview highly, which makes me unusual even among GG fans. So, of course, the Wilson remix was going to be high on my 10, but a non-starter for the “Uncut” crew (stealing terminology from the “new” thread!).
SteveT says
Great work and fascinating results.
Thanks for taking the time to compile this for us all.
