London Conversation

"London Conversation" is the first album by John Martyn released on Island Records in 1967. John Martyn became the first white solo act to sign with Island Records.The album, though incorporating touches of blues and his characteristic guitar and vocal, doesn't really prepare you for what's to come from Martyn. The album is a basic, no-frills, guitar and voice effort, Largely self-penned, the album is much more folk oriented than the Blues/Jazz tinged later releases. The album reputedly cost £158 to record. It is reported that John had only been playing the guitar for a few months when the album was recorded.
