Crown
Daarnaast worden nog enkele andere cd's naar voren gehaald

In a very few cases we have chosen to award a special token of merit. It takes the form
of a crown. This is to denote records we feel a special adminraion of affection for:
a purely personal choice, which we hope our readers will deem as such.
We hope our readers will indulge this whim (aldus samensteller Brian Morton)
