{"product_id":"john-beverley-martyn-the-road-to-ruin-lp","title":"John \u0026 Beverley Martyn - The Road To Ruin LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second and final John and Beverley album, The Road To Ruin came out in late 1970; it is a mature, fully realised work, and a glimpse of what would have happened had Island not encouraged John to go back to being a solo artist. Opener Primrose Hill was later sampled by Fat Boy Slim, and the John-led Parcels offers a template for what would become his signature style as the decade progressed. It is one of those rare albums that creates its own atmosphere, late night intensity, middle age soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1970 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
