This compilation mix from Scottish writer and music obsessive Ian Rankin follows the first Behind The Counter mix from much-loved British composer Max Richter, released in 2017.As a longtime vinyl enthusiast who has always dreamed of working in record shops, Rankin's curation is inspired by some of the first singles he ever bought and songs which have inspired titles of his best-selling novels - Jackie Leven's 'Another Man's Rain' (which became 'Another Man's Grave') and The Cure's 'The Hanging Garden'.
