Ruth and Martins Album Club

The concept behind Ruth and Martins Album Club is simple: make people listen to a classic album theyve never heard, then ask them to review it. Compiled here are the blogs greatest hits, as well as some new and exclusive material, each entry boasting a comprehensive introduction by all-round music geek Martin Fitzgerald: Ian Rankin on Madonnas Madonna. J. K. Rowling on the Violent Femmes Violent Femmes. Chris Addison on Marvin Gayes Whats Going On. Bonnie Greer on The Beach Boys Pet Sounds. Brian Koppelman on The Smiths Meat Is Murder. Anita Rani on The Strokes Is This It. Richard Osman on Roxy Musics For Your Pleasure. And many, many more.
