Quality Flops Ranked

Episode 2
This week, Donal and Toby explore the concept of the Quality Flop: albums that failed - spectacularly or ignominiously - on release but, upon re-evaluation, have real quality: the Heaven's Gates of the musical world. How did such albums get made? Why did they fail, and what justifies their reappraisal?
Featuring such leading lights as Peter Gabriel and The Beach Boys, and unlikely inclusions such as Frank Sinatra and, of course... The Beatles!
