How to use this guide
Work top to bottom, one era at a time, and tick things off as you go. The boxes remember your progress, so you can disappear for a month and pick up where you left off.

Era three: the return
The later records, made on nobody’s schedule but his own. Start here if you want to hear an artist entirely at ease.
