In its 20th anniversary year, Crimson Moon will be made available on vinyl for the first time as a stand-alone release.
Crimson Moon is some of Bert’s finest work following the renaissance begun in the mid-1990s, with appearances from Johnny Marr, Bernard Butler and many more. The addition of electric guitar subtly compliments Bert’s percussive finger-picking, bringing new depth to his compositions.
Both vinyl and CD will be avaiable from October 9th at the Bert Jansch Bandcamp.
Record Store Day on 29th August 2020 sees the release of Live In Italy, a two-disc live recording of Bert’s stunning previously unreleased concert at the Teatro Corso in Mestre, Italy in 1979. Coming to light 40 years after the concert was recorded, the release features appearances from Martin Jenkins, Sam Mitchell and Leo Wijnkamp, Jr.
The set includes original classics like ‘Angie’ and ‘Running from Home’, songs from the gorgeous Avocet album he and Martin would release with Danny Thompson, and there’s still room for them to make it up as they go along.
Live In Italy is a joyous experience, originally witnessed by under one thousand people, a moment in time when four performers spar and sway, swagger and soar; folk music as it should be heard from an era that nearly ended it all. Buy at the Bert Jansch Bandcamp.
November 15th 2019 will see the release of the 40th Anniversary Edition of Bert Jansch's classic Avocet. The release, by Earth Recordings, will come pressed on white vinyl and include downloadable bonus tracks.
This new edition of Avocet — the album often singled out as Bert’s best work — features three never-before heard tracks recorded live in Italy in 1977 with Martin Jenkins.
Jansch aficionado Colin Harper provides sleevenotes, which are accompanied by exclusive reminiscences from Danny Thompson on the making of the album.
Avocet, 40th Anniversary Edition, will be limited to 500 copies worldwide. Preorder it here.
