Tumbler - 180gm Vinyl

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. Produced by fellow London scenester Al Stewart, The Tumbler was a huge step forward, presenting Martyn as the questing soul he would become. It features the simple folk ditty of Fishin' Blues and the exemplary flute playing of Harold McNair in Fly On Home, showcasing clear influences on Martyn's peer, Nick Drake. This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1968 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high-quality 180g vinyl.
