With an output as far reaching as Bert Jansch's, it's small wonder that the occasional gem would be overlooked.

oonshine' - recorded in 1973 - is one such treasure. While the slightly more obvious (and indeed Pentangle-like) albums of 60s Bert are undisputedly wonderful, there is something about the gently brooding style of 'Moonshine' that really resonates.

Joined by an all-star cast (Ralph McTell! Mary Hopkin! Tony Visconti!) Jansch's eighth solo album is steeped in tradition, often giving way to a more baroque style of folk music.

This is is the first of Earth's ibrary' editions - catalogue versions which shy away from the bells and whistles of deluxe LPs, without compromising on aesthetics or sound.
