Following on from Monday’s #100-81 session and Tuesday’s #80-41, here’s the third of our 100 Best Albums of the 1970s mixes.

We’re profiling the finest albums of the 1970s over the course of this week, with the complete rundown being revealed on Friday. In addition, we’re also uploading a daily mix to accompany each clutch of records, each curated by a different member of the FACT team, designed to showcase the diversity and quality of the albums we’ve plumped for.

Mix number three, which takes its cues from the #60-41 bracket, has been crafted by Tom Lea, and it’s probably the most out-there of the bunch. Ornette Coleman, AR & Machines, Robert Ashley, Nurse With Wound and Heldon all jostle for position, with some Joni and Specials slung in for good measure.
