The attic tapes

"A superlative hour-long collection of previously unreleased recordings and early works by the late John Renbourn, one of the guitar world's key innovators ... The sound quality of several of the recordings might be judged a touch rudimentary, but the immense historical interest and the classy, unassumingly virtuoso musicialship on display transcends any deficiencies in these unexpectedly-well-turned-out masterings ... Sadly, John Renbourn died shortly after completing this project, but there can be no more fitting memorial, for it's an outstanding collection all around, and yes, an essential purchase".
