We were saddened to hear that legendary record business figure Andrew Lauder passed away earlier this week. He was great company and a compelling raconteur. His spirit lives on in hundreds of records that have changed the lives of so many and in the stories he left us in his book Happy Trails.

Also put together a bit of an accompanying playlist for the book. 30 tracks is peanuts in the grand scheme of things to reflect 60+ years, and a few bits also not on Spotify, but hopefully a nice taster and one that I may expand upon a bit over the coming months.
