Yearly Albums Calendars Links

This is just a bit of an update/simplification for LINKS to this previous entry. I am posting this partially per that a number of the lists the formatting got all screwed up and I failed to be able to fix it beyond wiping the HTML.

There are 15 years since 1965 I haven't done, and of course 2019.

I would like to and may eventually do a Redux on some of these as when I started them, I didn't include or spend the amount of time finding titles that I feel make sense to include.

Also of course I would like to add the albums that I have discovered since compiling them (Spent Poets for example). That may just be as simple as a BUMP and add/edit to them, I dunno.

Many of the remaining 15-16 calendars could be exhaustively long to do, as I posted I think when I finished the last one, they may require more than 1 entry, etc.
