Last week, National Album Day unveiled the UK's biggest debut albums from every region, compiled using data from Official Charts, analysed by the BPI and ERA.

Designed as a book club for albums, The Record Club in association with Bowers & Wilkins is a bi-monthly livestream, hosted by BBC Music’s Jess Iszatt, on Facebook Live, Twitch, Twitter and YouTube Live every other Wednesday.

Fans are encouraged to order the selected album from their favourite local record shop either in-store or on home delivery, listen to it in full, then tune into the broadcast armed with their questions for the artist and a chance to win a prize.

An Awesome Wave had some awesome stuff at the time, This Is All Yours is a much more enjoyable album though.
