Bert Jansch
From The Outside
Recalling the elegant simplicity of Jansch's early works, 'From The Outside' sees Jansch return to the uncomplicated yet supremely effective sound of his eponymous debut. This is Bert laid bare - eschewing the more intricate arrangements of his surrounding works for the holy trinity of guitar, banjo and voice, perhaps reflective of his state of mind at the time. Stand-out tracks include 'River Running' and 'Blackbird In The Morning' which were both (amazingly) omitted from the original vinyl release. One of Bert's rarest releases, this 1985 LP was originally issued as an edition of just 500 copies on the small Belgian label, Konexion. This issue unites the varied track listing of previous versions - both LP and CD, with many cuts appearing here on vinyl for the first time. Remastered from original tapes by Brian Pyle.
