London Conversation is John Martyn's debut from 1967, and sees a very fresh-faced Martyn playing a mix of classics ("Cocaine", "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright") and originals ("Ballad Of An Elder Woman", "Back To Stay") that makes for a compelling album of exceptional beauty.

Fans of Bert Jansch, Pentangle, Mr Fox, Steve Tilston, Donovan and Dave Evans take heed!
