Una discografia bàsica: els 100 enregistraments essencials

.

Amb l'aparició del seu número 100, la revista musical anglesa The Wire va publicar al juny del 1992 una discografia selectiva excepcional que considerem de gran valor com a recurs professional que pot ajudar a completar les col·leccions musicals de les nostres biblioteques públiques, motiu pel qual el volem destacar i difondre també des d'aquest bloc que s'adreça de forma especial al bibliotecari musical.

Presentem el document en format de simple llista. Pels interessats en llegir els comentaris corresponents que raonen cada selecció, us remetem al document original (en anglès) dins la website de la revista: http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/441/
