John Martyn-London Conversation (2023)
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.
