Ever since it was announced that the John Martyn retrospective release The Island Years [Box set, CD+DVD] was to hit the shelves on 30 September I’ve been mad keen to find out more details, well now we have it:
The Island Years box set is the most definitive collection celebrating John Martyn’s glory days on the Island Records label, beginning in 1967 with London Conversation and going all the way up to the last album he recorded for the label, The Apprentice in 1987.
The release date has now been confirmed as September 30th and the tracking listing has also been finalised and appears below.
This lavishly packaged box set contains 17 Audio CDs housed in 2 gatefold LP size holders and 1 DVD in a gatefold wallet and a 120-Page hardcover book with brand new essay by John Martyn guru, John Hillarby, plus rare and previously unseen photographs.
Rare memorabilia also contained in the box set includes a reproduction of the 1978 Australian tour programme, a replica of the highly sought after 1980 UK tour poster and an Island Records Press folder containing A4 Press Release, A5 Flyers and a reproduction of one of John’s hand-written set list.
John Martyn’s Island Records recordings are presented in chronological order.
Disc One
London Conversation from 1967 and The Tumbler from 1968.
Disc Two
John and Beverley Martyn’s Stormbringer! from 1970, plus previously unreleased out-takes and demos and BBC sessions tracks.

Disc Four
Bless The Weather, John’s 3rd solo album from 1971 and contains 8 previously unreleased alternate-takes from the recording sessions.
Disc Five
Live at the Hanging Lamp. This is a real find in the form of a completely unreleased live solo concert recorded at the legendry Hanging Lamp folk club in Richmond. Recorded on 8th May 1972 it finds John running through songs from Bless The Weather and road testing songs from Solid Air. This is a fascinating historical document that showcases John getting to grips with his newly acquired Echoplex effects machine.

John’s seminal Solid Air from 1973 now with additional tracks and features 9 bonus songs – which have never been on CD before – and previously unreleased alternates.
Disc Seven

Another previously unreleased 10 track solo concert recorded Live in Sydney in August 1977 that finds John on absolutely blistering form.
Discs 11 and 12

Discs 13 and 14
Feature the 1980 album, Grace and Danger which John recorded with the help of his friend Phil Collins.

Also present are the 7” dub version of Johnny Too Bad plus 7 songs recorded live for various BBC television programmes and at the London Palladium.

Disc Seventeen
Features John’s final album for Island, The Apprentice which was delivered to Island in 1987 but never released. Although the tracks finally saw the light of day in 1990 these earlier recordings have been sat in the archive since delivery and contain the previously unreleased song, Lifeline. Also included are songs recorded live at the Town and Country Club in London that same year, plus a rare performance of Patterns In The Rain recorded live at the Island Records Birthday Party in July 1988.
Disc Eighteen
This is a DVD that contains many rare BBC performances from the Old Grey Whistle Test, Sight and Sound – In Concert and A Little Night Music plus for the first time on DVD the 1986 VHS release of Foundations which captures John and his band live at the Town and Country, London.
Extra Special bonus features on the DVD are 3 ultra-rare songs which John performed after the credits rolled at the end of the concert recorded in January 1978 for The Old Grey Whistle Test plus 5 songs which didn’t make it on to the original Foundations VHS.
