holy shit, the two towering pinnacles of my Magnetic Fields binge (The Charm Of The Highway Strip and Holiday) came out within 6 months of each other in 1994!

The close release dates of the two albums meant that some magazines reviewed the albums together, which annoyed Merritt.[7] It has also been speculated that this would have meant consumers would buy one of the two albums, but not both.[7]

I know the post specifies "calendar year" but if we just include any 12-month stretch, June 1970 - June 1971 was very good for Tim Hart and Maddy Prior; Hark! The Village Wait and Please to See the King (with Steeleye Span) and Summer Solstice (as a duo)

iirc Holiday was recorded first but some label issue meant it got delayed until after Charm of the Highway Strip (which was their first on Merge)
