Bert Jansch - From the Outside (1985, Remastered 2016)

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. 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. Remastered from original tapes by Brian Pyle.
