• Track Listing

Before and during his illustrious years in Pentangle, this hugely influential acoustic guitarist recorded extensively as a solo artist. Pentangle has been reissued extensively, but Renbourn’s early solo stuff has been wrongly overlooked; this 6-CD set features a new essay and rare photos plus a clutch of rare period bonus tracks, which join his albums "John Renbourn," "Another Monday" and "Sir John Alot of Merrie Englands Musyk Thyng & Ye Grene Knyghte," his two LPs with Dorris Henderson and "Bert and John" (with Bert Jansch). Folk, blues, dashes of psychedelia and jazz, dazzling technique and beautiful artistry come together across "Sally Free and Easy," "Winter Is Gone," "Going to Memphis," "The Hangman," "John Henry," "Plainsong," "Lucky Thirteen," "East Wind," "Soho," "No Exit," "Sugar Babe," "Another Monday," "30 Days in Jail," "Lonely Mood," "Seven Up," two versions each of "Transfusion," "Forty-Eight" and more!
