"After the demise of Pentangle, Jansch signed with Tony Stratton-Smith's Famous Charisma Label in 1973 and recorded L.A. Turnaround in Sussex and Sepulveda, CA. ... The album was hailed at the time as an exemplary work, and its reputation certainly holds in the 21st century. Nesmith quite naturally captured Jansch's expert, idiosyncratic guitar style, and added himself on rhythm guitars and pedal steel guitarist O.J. "Red" Rhodes, who provided a wonderful sense of ballast and earthiness ... Simply put, this is one of Jansch's masterpieces, and a singular type of album in his long and storied career".

"L.A. Turnaround was a carefully crafted album that was released to critical acclaim, and immediately hailed as one of Bert Jansch's finest hours. That was no surprise as L.A. Turnaround was Bert Jansch's finest hour, and by was the most accomplished and cohesive album of his career by 1974. By then, Bert Jansch had released nine solo albums, but L.A. Turnaround which is now regarded as a minor classic was his finest hour and a tantalising taste of a singer-songwriter at the peak of his considerable powers".
