John Martyn - London Conversation
Regular price $33.00 Save $-33.00Product Description
-
A
complex
and
sometimes
belligerent
character
in
real
life,
on
record,
John
Martyn
was
the
epitome
of
the
folk-dreamer,
embodying
the
spirit
of
the
bourgeoning
London
acoustic
scene
of
the
late
60s
-
Well-known
and
respected
for
his
70s
albums
Solid
Air
and
One
World,
this
is
where
it
began.
Released
in
October
1967,
London
Conversation
was
the
first
album
by
the
first
'rock'
signing
to
Chris
Blackwell's
Island
Records.
With
eight
of
the
twelve
tracks
written
by
Martyn,
it
is
easy
to
see
why
Blackwell
was
such
a
champion
of
his
work.
The
five-minute
plus
sitar
drone
of
Rolling
Home
pointed
the
way
to
the
possibilities
that
lay
ahead.
The
sleeve
captured
the
earnest
folky
sitting
among
the
capital's
chimney
tops,
strumming
his
acoustic.
At
once
Martyn
was
part
of
it;
Martyn
was
above
it.
This
re-issue
is
pressed
onto
high
quality
180g
vinyl.
