Description

Original 1973 ISLAND RECORDS pressing of the JOHN MARTYN album, SOLID AIR (ILPS 9226)
PINK RIM, PALM TREE LABEL
UK IMPORT
AMG 4 1/2 STARS: Solid Air (whose title track was written for John Martyn's friend, songwriter Nick Drake) is one of the defining moments in British folk, in the same league as Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief, Richard & Linda Thompson's Shoot Out the Lights, and Michael Chapman's Rainmaker. Martyn stepped out of his comfort zone to record and produce it, including not only jazz and blues but rock and plenty of sound effects, and featuring Rhodes piano on some of its tracks, dismaying some fans while winning a ton more for its genre-blurring presentation. A number of its cuts -- such as the title track, "Over the Hill," "I'd Rather Be the Devil," and "May You Never" -- remained staples in his live sets until the end of his life.


Condition: the sleeve grades EX. The record grades NM. Original inner sleeve included; the record ships in an anti-static, dust free, archival sleeve. Check out my feedback score; you won't be disappointed.
