Today’s looking like it might shape up as Stephen Stills day: as I write, we’re on track 16 (“Helplessly Hoping”) of his new career boxset, with 60-odd more to come.

Not everything these past few days has been quite so appealing, and as a consequence this week’s playlist is one of those which comes with familiar warnings: while everything here has been listened to in the Uncut office, not all of it comes with a personal endorsement/recommendation. Tread carefully.

Especially positive vibes, though, for the MV & EE live set among this week’s new entries, and for the mysterious Number Four, which I’ll hopefully be able to talk about soon…
