Bert Jansch - Living In The Shadows (2017)

'Living In The Shadows' is a collection of Bert's 90's records (The Ornament Tree, When The Circus Comes To Town, and Toy Balloon), the set includes a disc of exclusive unheard and unreleased material. We can now reveal some more details of just what is included within this special package. As a the definitive collection of Jansch’s 90s material, ‘Living In The Shadows’ comprises the three studio albums from this decade (‘The Ornament Tree’, ‘When The Circus Comes To Town’ and ‘Toy Balloon’ respectively), alongside a disc of unheard and unreleased material. These tracks - transferred from Bert’s own collection of tapes - were the subject of meticulous cataloging earlier this year, the resulting selection bringing demos, versions and some very special - completely new - tracks to the fore. Keep your ear to the ground for further details and news of a cameo by a very distinguished guest… all of this, PLUS sleeve-notes by Bert’s biographer and undisputed doyen, Colin Harper.
