Had to finish at 11.40 though, due to the fact that they wanted to shut up earlier. I will have to contact Robert soon to secure further nights.

John Martyn

It looks like John Martyn records have had a renewed wave of interest since his untimely death so some early ones reaching three figures on Ebay. I only have three of his albums but none are the Pink label Islands but are blue label  reissues from late sevnities or early eigties ones despite retaining the same catalogue numbers.

So not as collectable as the pink Islands. Best to keep them anyway as "Solid Air" is a real classic be it original or reissue.


It has been the sunniest day of the Easter hols.  Typical!

Tomoorow will check to see if the ber job comes through the post as i was expecting it to be here by Saturday to do over the Easter weekend.
