THE SKIDS
Burning Cities (No Bad)
Scottish punk pioneers The Skids show a real sense of urgency on this bracing comeback, their first album in 37 years. They race through the first ten songs without pausing for breath, slowing the pace only on the atmospheric closer Desert Dust. Singer Richard Jobson is a galvanising presence, while Bruce Watson wisely avoids trying to emulate the angular guitar sounds of the late Stuart Adamson. With the band now back on tour, this is a distinguished return

THE ROLLING STONES
On Air (Polydor)
'Our policy is to produce an authentic Chicago R&B; sound, said the Stones to the BBC in 1963, and these early radio sessions are steeped in the blues. With Brian Jones on superb slide guitar, they tackle Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters, making On Air a distant cousin to last years Blue & Lonesome. The rough and ready originals also catch the ear, including Satisfaction and a forceful The Spider And The Fly. >★★★★

JEFF LYNNES ELO
Wembley Or Bust (Sony)
Recorded at Wembley Stadium in June, this CD/ DVD celebrates ELOs flawless blend of pop and classical. Rockaria has some suitably operatic flourishes, while the overblown 10538 Overture was the template for Oasiss Be Here Now. Lynne is more of a craftsman than he is a showman, but its hard to resist the melodic sweep of Mr Blue Sky, Xanadu and the Traveling Wilburys Handle With Care.

Live In London (Gingerbread Man)
Mentored by Elton John and Ed Sheeran, the Irish singer-songwriter is in excellent voice on this solo show at Londons Union Chapel. He spends as much time talking as singing, but the simple setting suits his informal approach. He augments Van Morrison-like originals with piano and ukulele and adds rambling anecdotes to a cover of Tom Pettys Free Fallin>★★★

CHARLI XCX
Pop2 (Asylum)
Fresh from making one of the pop singles of the summer in Boys, Charli XCX takes a sidestep on this mix tape, made on tour and released digitally. A stop-gap between official albums, it allows the prolific Cambridge singer to experiment with futuristic beats and fresh vocal partners over ten new songs: Carly Rae Jepsen guests on Backseat; Scandinavian electro-dance stars Tove Lo and Alma shine on Out Of My Head.

ROBERT FINLEY
Goin Platinum! (Easy Eye Sound)
Hailed by producer Dan Auerbach as the greatest living soul singer, Finley came to music after joining an American armed forces band. His second album is old-school blues and funk, with a voice that soars to an impressive falsetto on closing ballad Holy Wine.
