Nothing against Slade per se but Coz I Love You in a cup list really does stand out like a particularly unpleasant overripe gorgonzola. Hit and Miss throughout these two. George Jackson is the clincher for

It is a shame two such good lists come up against each other.

But A is just better

I quite like the new additions to both; I think that B remains a little stronger.

[Buddha B-Rex]

B has great depth, but A is just more my thing.

Two very good lists- A seems to be more consistent, and probably has the bigger hitters overall to these ears ("Stay with Me", "Heart of Glass", "Pink Frost", etc) and is slightly more classicist in its choices. B is a little looser, and has more stuff I'd really like to get to know, along with some strong classics (great Velvets, Bill Withers, T-Rex and Beach Boys picks) so in this case it shades it. Either would be welcome at my abode.

Excellent lists both, but Jacqueline Taïeb makes the difference.

I find A a bit confusing, segueing from the sublime (The Summertime Killer - great pick) to the ridiculous (PWEI - really?). And this is only the most sever of a mixed list.

B adds some pretty solid extras to an already decent list.

Two good lists, but some intriguing choices from A make me wonder where this one is going next.
