The Sound's Unflogged 100 II: A playlist of the best underplayed classics

It's back!! Once again we're showing love to tunes we don’t often play on The Sound.

You told us you enjoyed the last one, so we're back with another Sound Unflogged 100. That's one hundred records we don't often play here on The Sound.

Some of these tunes are ones our listeners recommended, and others are simply ones we felt deserved more love in the form of airtime.

Today we blew the dust off and played out these tracks in what has been another brilliant day full of great songs (if we do say so ourselves).
