Bert Jansch - Bert Jansch/Jack Orion


These albums are reviewed on their own pages. This compilation suffers from a very uneven sound level detracting from what is otherwise a tremendous selection of Jansch music. In these early days Jansch was easily capable of writing songs of the same calibre as Bob Dylan if in a different genre. Sadly this seemed to fade in time.
