JANSCH, BERT - Avocet (Expanded Anniversary Edition) (Sealed) (CD)

Expanded 40th anniversary edition, featuring newly discovered live tracks. Jansch was often quoted as saying "I'm not playing for anyone, just myself" and this feels no more apparent than on 1979's 'Avocet', his beautifully meditative paean to British birds. This new edition also comprises three never-before heard tracks, recorded live in Italy in in 1977 ('Bittern'; 'Kingfisher'; 'Avocet'), as well as Danny Thompson's recollections of the making of 'Avocet', recorded by Dave Thompson (Mojo Magazine) in typical style. Remastered from original tapes
